In 2006, the HR organisation has been redesigned in a way of greater integration of the function, in line with the Group business requirements. A new HR board and functional reporting lines from the Divisions to the Group HR head were designed to foster a coordinated Group policy.
The Corporate HR team operates worldwide as the strategic leader in HR matters and works in close cooperation with the Divisions and BUs which have the operational HR responsibility for most of the employees, except for the top Management of each BU which is under the Corporate HR operational responsibility.
The HR communities work closely together and coordinate and share best practises at functional level. Regular meetings of HR heads are organised at both European and national levels. A global HR database is now available and is being continuously developed in order to fulfil the needs of EADS integration.
At corporate level, six support departments make up the global EADS HR management: HR Improvement and Operations; Social Policy and Industrial Relations ; Compensation and Benefits, Leadership Development and Learning ; Talent and Executive Management ; as well as Security.
Among other, they are responsible for e.g.:
- Managing HR Development for the top 200 key positions;
- Designing policies, guidelines and tools for all group wide HR processes, such as appointments, job rotation, international mobility, compensation and benefits, e-HR projects, data and information systems security policies etc.;
- Organising and delivering executive education for all executives and potential future executives through the
CBA and coordinating the training activities within the Group for all employees; and - Improving the sharing of best practises within the EADS HR community.
