Human Resources and Security

Responsibilities

In line with the Commission's HR Strategy, the Directorate-General for Human Resources promotes a modern, flexible and values-driven organisation. It strives to attract the best talent and create the right conditions to support staff in delivering outstanding results for people across the EU.

The European Commission is committed to fostering a diverse, respectful, and inclusive work environment that reflects the society it serves, and aspires to a modern, trust-based and flexible workplace culture.

The Commission aims to become more agile, efficient, and attractive by reforming its organisation and operations through the large-scale review.

The Commission is focused on supporting staff well-being, lifelong learning, and meaningful career opportunities, as well as the ongoing improvement of HR services to support staff throughout their careers.

The Commission prioritises sustainability, with the goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2030 in line with the Greening Communication.

Finally, the Commission ensures the safety, security, protection of staff, property, activities, and information, and is dedicated to upholding the Staff Regulations to ensure their consistent application.

As part of the Commission's commitment to transparency, Commission staff holding management functions publish information on and minutes of all meetings they hold with interest representatives.
