The placement is a quartile in the group, not a score or a rank. A low use of resources can reflect different tasks or underfunding, and quality here means quality of governance, not quality of service. Parts without figures are left out.

Not measured: quality of service and user satisfaction, cost per output, and staff turnover.

As an employer, 2025

  • Employees: 89
  • Agreed full-time equivalents: 83
  • Full-time equivalents lost to certified sick leave and parental leave: 3.6% (state average: 5.6%)
  • Departures as a share of employees: 30.3% (27 departures, 27 new hires)
  • Women: 60% · Leaders: 12.8% · Average age: 45.8

Agreed full-time equivalents by year: 2022: 98 · 2023: 95 · 2024: 90 · 2025: 83

Source: Statistics Norway (SSB), tables 12627, 12876, 12877 and 12827 (CC BY 4.0), unit «Riksteatret». The share lost compares full-time equivalents excluding parental leave and certified sick leave with agreed full-time equivalents: it mixes the two and is not sick leave alone. It counts in the employer part of the governance index, where lower is better.

Salary costs, 2025

Two of the key figures DFØ asks agencies to report, computed the same way for all from the state accounts and SSB full-time equivalents. Against the median for agencies of the same type (123 agencies). Operating expenditure per full-time equivalent and the consultancy share are under efficiency.

  • Salary per full-time equivalent: 1,037,780 kr (median 1,029,599 kr)
  • Salary share of operating expenditure: 51.0% (median 61.6%)

Source: DFØ (state accounts, NLOD) and Statistics Norway (SSB), table 12627 (CC BY 4.0). Salary is account class 5 in the state accounts (payroll costs, which may also include employer’s contributions and pensions). A high salary per full-time equivalent can be the task, not waste: the figures are context and do not count in the index.

What we do not measure

We do not assess policy, goal attainment, the quality of services or individual cases. We look only at what can be measured in open data and what the agency itself controls: financial control, audit and procurement. Sick leave per agency is not openly available and is therefore left out.
