Support staff ratio for company size

Hi

This is a bit of an odd one. I'm trying to find a baseline for the amount of support staff needed as a ratio to professional/technical staff. 

By support I mean, HR, admin, accounts, IT etc. 

I appreciate it's based on the complexity of the company, so this is just a starting point. 

I'm not sure where I can find quantifiable evidence, any suggestions?

  • I am not aware of any "standard" or "average" number or indeed where it would be collected and reported. Even if it were I am convinced it would be a statistic without a meaning given it would hide as much as it explained

    If you use the search facilities you will find lots of discussions on this just relating to HR staff where the ratios vary incredibly widely.
