HR EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH AWARD

In 2025, we launched an initiative aimed at obtaining the European HR Excellence in Research label ↑, a recognition that highlights institutions which implement best practices in human resources management for researchers.

 

This initiative forms part of our commitment to promoting researchers, their skills and their contribution within research organisations.

Awarded by the European Commission, this label is based on the principles of the new European Charter for Researchers ↑ published in 2023.

It comprises 20 key principles divided into the following four pillars:

Ethics, integrity, gender and open science,

Evaluation, recruitment and career progression for researchers,

Working conditions and methods,

Careers in research and talent development.

This label therefore recognises organisations that promote attractive careers, inclusive working conditions and transparent, fair recruitment processes.

Why pursue this certification?

Obtaining the HR Excellence in Research Award embodies our ambition to:

Promote researchers and PhDs by providing exemplary support throughout their professional journeys.

Enhance our attractiveness to talents and organizations seeking high-level scientific expertise.

 

Adhere to European standards of excellence in our recruitment practices and HR consulting, aligning with the best European norms.​

For Adoc Talent Management, this initiative reflects our commitment to being a reference player in valuing PhD holders' skills and integrating them into professional environments, both academic and private.​

What is the current status of the certification process?

Our application for certification is currently in the Initial Assessment.

 

This phase involves analysing the gap between our internal practices and each of the principles set out in the Charter and the Code, with a view to drawing up an action plan and an OTM-R policy to be implemented in order to bring our institution into line with their requirements as effectively as possible.

This in-depth review aims to identify our strengths as well as the improvements needed to reinforce our commitments to the researchers we support and the companies that place their trust in us.

We have now submitted our action plan, which is currently being assessed by the European Commission.

We are proud to have reached this milestone and look forward to sharing with you the progress made on this initiative, which helps to reinforce our commitment to researchers and their careers
