Hi, Sheri.
We at UF are looking at this now as we explore a new Extension staffing model. I don’t have anything to contribute right now, but am very interested in what
others have done. Thanks for asking the question!

Subject: Agent-to-support staff ratio?
Good morning friends!
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Do any of you have an established agent-to-support staff ratio, such as 5 agents to 1 support staff, other? If so, I would appreciate your sharing what it is, and how you established it. Of course we are looking at it from the viewpoint
of how many support staff we would financially support, as well as from what is a practical number of professionals to support.
Also, if you have any research from JOE or SHRM or CUPA that you might know of on this topic, that would be excellent to share as well.
Thanks so much!
Sheri
