Jafar Miaadfar, the head of the National Emergency Organization, announced in his recent press conference the organization's plans to hire 500 people this year and also stated that they are pursuing a quota of 5,000 for next year. These decisions have been made to address the shortage of human resources and improve emergency services in the country.
Shortage of Human Resources and Its Challenges
Miaadfar further referred to the problems arising from the shortage of human resources in the National Emergency Organization, stating: "We have a shortage of about 12,000 personnel." He clarified that part of this shortage is being compensated through overtime, and it is not such that work is left pending. This situation indicates the immense pressure on the existing emergency staff who are continuously providing services to the public.

Efforts to Increase the Hardship Coefficient
The head of the National Emergency Organization also reported on his efforts to increase the hardship coefficient to above 3,000. He said: "We are working to raise the hardship coefficient beyond 3,000." This action could significantly help in attracting and retaining human resources, as one of the main reasons for personnel turnover in this field is the working conditions and the mismatch between job benefits and the difficulty of the work.
Miaadfar also pointed out that these changes could not only improve the quality of emergency services but also boost the morale of the medical staff. He added: "We are seeking to achieve appropriate rights and benefits for our personnel so that we can provide the best services to citizens."
Future Outlook for the National Emergency Organization
Given the shortage of human resources and the urgent need for hiring, planning to attract 500 people this year and pursuing a quota of 5,000 for next year could be a solution to many existing problems in the National Emergency Organization. If implemented correctly, this action could help increase the quality of emergency services and reduce the workload on the current staff.
In conclusion, it can be said that the head of the National Emergency Organization has taken positive steps towards improving the human resources situation and service delivery of this organization with his plans. These actions could ultimately lead to greater public satisfaction with emergency services and reduce existing problems in this area.
