A word from our team

📰 The FT reported earlier about European Central Bank’s recent HR initiatives, including the job swaps portal and the 3/5/8 staffing model, indicate a growing focus on internal mobility and career development within EU agencies.

• Flexible career paths: Employees can explore lateral moves, gaining broader experience across departments.

• Structured career progression: The 3/5/8 model provides clarity on development milestones and transition opportunities.

• Enhanced transparency: Agencies are addressing promotion and workload concerns, suggesting a shift toward fairer, more predictable internal processes.

• Skill diversification: Job swaps and internal mobility encourage learning new roles and functions, making employees more versatile.

This could be linked to earlier reports that a survey by the ECB’s union found less than a fifth agreed that the organisation “does a good job of promoting the most competent people”, and “knowing the right people” was more important for getting ahead. 🫢
