9. 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.
