Reallocation of public servants due to an outsourcing process: a case study in a Brazilian public university restaurant

Abstract Objective: to present and analyze an intervention undertaken to plan the reallocation of public servants replaced by an outsourcing process in a Brazilian public university restaurant. Methods: qualitative and descriptive study. We performed documentary and organizational analysis, carried out semi-structured interviews, and applied the Work Ability Index, in 33 employees, in 2016. Results: the gathering of information regarding the workers’ health status, and the analysis of the physical requirements for the envisaged tasks of the positions to be assumed, made it possible to adapt the reallocation to the new functions. It made also possible not to harm the displaced workers who already had medical restrictions, and ensure them with new functions that were compatible with their working ability, or to jeopardize the ones who remained in the original restructured activity. Conclusion: the study indicates that before carrying out reallocation it is important to analyse and understand the work produced by the individual and to involve all implicated actors in the adaptation process for the new roles.

摘要
研究目的：旨在呈现并分析一项干预研究，该研究针对巴西某公立大学食堂因外包流程被替代的公职人员的重新安置规划展开。
研究方法：本研究为质性描述性研究，采用文献分析与组织分析方法，开展半结构化访谈，并于2016年针对33名员工应用了工作能力指数（Work Ability Index）。
研究结果：通过收集员工健康状况相关信息，分析拟任职岗位所需的体力要求，本研究实现了重新安置工作与新岗位的适配；同时既避免损害已有医疗限制的离岗员工，为其安排与其工作能力相匹配的新岗位，也未对留在原重组岗位的员工造成不利影响。
研究结论：本研究表明，在开展重新安置工作前，分析并理解个体所承担的工作内容，且让所有相关参与方参与新岗位的适配进程，具有重要意义。
