°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ staff

Nearing the 1,000 mark

Given the breadth of assignments, schedules, and responsibilities it is impossible to capture a complete snapshot of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization staff at any given point in time. But on Friday 29 November, many of the 925 people currently employed under direct contract were able to gather in one of the few empty spaces left on the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ platform for a traditional group picture.

The sun was shining, the temperatures were mild for late November, and the backdrop was spectacular.

The men and women standing at the entrance to the construction site represent a staff body that hails from 35 different countries. From the latest published Social Report (2018) we know that the average age is 44; that 54 percent of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ men and women hold a Master's or engineering degree; and that close to 20 percent are PhDs. Three out of four °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ staff members are married or in a legal partnership; 72 percent have a least one child. Global turnover in 2018 was 5.9 percent.

The distribution by Member in November 2019 is as follows: China 9.3 percent; Europe 68.3 percent; India 3.2 percent; Japan 3.5 percent; Korea 5.2 percent; Russia 5 percent; and the United States 5.5 percent (figures updated for 2019).

And of course the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ family is much larger than the staff category alone. At the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization in France, approximately 500 contractors contribute to the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project along with approximately 150 interim staff, experts, visiting researchers and interns.

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project Associates—a non-staff employment program that permits institutes from the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Members to assign employees on technical as well as support activities to the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization—swell employment statistics by another 157 people (figure as of 30 November 2019).

The last °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ staff photo was taken in 2017.
