Human resources strategy

CNRS was one of the first European organizations to sign up (in 2005) to the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. It was therefore only natural for it to join the European Human Resources Strategy for Researchers, which aims to improve the practices of organizations and institutions working in the field of research, in terms of ethics, recruitment and working conditions. In 2017, it was awarded the HRS4R (Human Resources Strategy for Researchers) label, enabling it to highlight its working environment and the quality of its human resources management in the following areas: research ethics and professional responsibility, recruitment, working conditions, non-discrimination, training and professional development. The label will be renewed in 2023. With this in mind, an assessment of the previous period's actions has been drawn up, and a new action plan, aimed at all CNRS staff, is proposed for the next three years.
