In order to meet the future recruitment challenges, public organisations in the field of care need to recruit a large proportion of staff. It can be done by introducing full-time standards into welfare. The process of change full-time as a norm is a general concept which is now to be adepted locally in public organisations throughout the country. The study aims to obtain deeper understanding of changeprocesses focusing on sensemaking and translation from understanding to action. The study examines how the general concept of full-time as a norm is translated and expressed locally in a municipality. It also identifies and discusses tensions and how they are expressed within the organisation. The method is a combination of analysis of documents and qualitative research interviews. The analysis is based on the translationsmodel by Czarniawaska och Joerges (1996). The result shows that there is a high degree of understanding of why the changeprocess is being carried out in the organisation and is seen as positive. Challenges are found in the organizational culture and structure, leadership and are expressed by different tensions. The translationmodel proved to be a good analytical tool to study how translations and tensions are expressed in the organisation.
