MEET THE HR TEAM

The global HR team works in partnership at all levels to enable leaders, managers, and staff at large to develop and maintain a responsive, results-oriented organizational culture known for high performance and managerial excellence. Our aim is to model the transparency, responsibility, accountability, and fairness embedded in the principles of the Organization we all serve.  

HR Partner – a new name for a familiar role

You know us by titles like HR Officer and Administrative Officer and find us in OHR, Executive Offices, ‘front’ offices, ‘personnel sections’ and other units where the work of getting people on board, seeing that staff are paid and receive benefits, developing learning and monitoring performance is carried out. The new name reinforces our goal – to partner with staff and managers for HR-related service.
