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.

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.
