Standing Concertation Committee CERN - Main Bodies CERN Council The Council is ultimately responsible for all important decisions; it determines CERN’s policy; approves the programme of activities; adopts the budgets; and reviews expenditure. Each Member State has two official delegates, one representing his or her government’s administration and the other national scientific interests.

HR Department - Remit Enable the Organization to further its excellence by: • defining the talents and competencies needed to accomplish the Organization’s mission; • recruiting, retaining, and developing the staff with these talents and competencies. In this context, HR Department plays a proactive role as: a partner in the definition of human resources policy; a guarantor for the consistent implementation of this policy throughout the Organization, and a facilitator for all questions concerning human resources.

CERN’s Human Resources Strategy Mission/Strategy HR Mandate HR Strategy HR Initiatives Needs and Challenges from Management Interviews Staff concerns and priorities Staff meetings and staff survey Emphasize that the CERN mission and strategy is the guiding framework for HR’s Mission/Mandate and the HR Strategy. The management and staff needs / priorities are taken into account and result in HR initiatives, which are subject to senior leadership approval An integrated approach to building the HR strategy is shown in the following slide Staff survey confirmed the initiatives launched by HR

CERN Values - EXCELLENCE INTEGRITY Behaving ethically, with intellectual honesty and being accountable for one’s own actions COMMITMENT Demonstrating a high level of motivation and engagement to the Organization PROFESSIONALISM Producing a high level of results within resource and time constraints and fostering mutual understanding CREATIVITY Being at the forefront of one’s professional field, furthering innovation and organizational development DIVERSITY Appreciating differences, fostering equality, and promoting collaboration And has explicit values which drive EXCELLENCE

According to a recent staff survey... Excellent level of job satisfaction Passionate personnel Interesting work Creative work which allows psychological development Pride to take part in fundamental research in particle physics Very pleasant “international campus” environment Highly qualified colleagues Variety of skills and professions Effectiveness of continuous learning Pleasant conditions (except buildings!)

Opportunities for a rich & rewarding career You at CERN... Exciting times LHC start up ..... Opportunities for a rich & rewarding career And who knows... ...a future Nobel Prize??? The World Wide Web was invented at CERN in 1989 by the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee. Some of the spin-offs CERN does unfortunately not own an X-33 aircraft as it was suggested in Dan Brown’s book “Angels and Demons”.

CERN. Take part. And do not forget that we, in HR department, are available to help at all times!
