FOREWORD
The IAEA’s statutory role is to seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity throughout the world
. Among other functions, the IAEA is authorized to foster the exchange of scientific and technical information on peaceful uses of atomic energy
. One way this is achieved is through a range of technical publications including the IAEA Nuclear Energy Series.
The IAEA Nuclear Energy Series comprises publications designed to further the use of nuclear technologies in support of sustainable development, to advance nuclear science and technology, catalyse innovation and build capacity to support the existing and expanded use of nuclear power and nuclear science applications. The publications include information covering all policy, technological and management aspects of the definition and implementation of activities involving the peaceful use of nuclear technology. While the guidance provided in IAEA Nuclear Energy Series publications does not constitute Member States’ consensus, it has undergone internal peer review and been made available to Member States for comment prior to publication.
The IAEA safety standards establish fundamental principles, requirements and recommendations to ensure nuclear safety and serve as a global reference for protecting people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation.
When IAEA Nuclear Energy Series publications address safety, it is ensured that the IAEA safety standards are referred to as the current boundary conditions for the application of nuclear technology.
The unique characteristics of the nuclear industry demand a highly trained, multigenerational workforce with the appropriate knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, standards and values to sustain the long life cycle of a nuclear facility. In a changing global landscape, meeting these requirements are further challenged by technological innovation, increased mobility both nationally and internationally, changing demographics, and workforce losses due to people changing career aspirations and taking advantage of greater equality of opportunity. This creates a particularly demanding situation for human resource management (HRM) in the nuclear industry.
Formulating and implementing a suitable HRM strategy is critical in order to address these challenges and manage human resources in the nuclear energy field while ensuring safety, security, non-proliferation and performance requirements. A suitable HRM strategy, together with sufficient competent resources and effective processes and procedures, is central to safety and business performance and needs to be included as an integral part of an organization’s management system.
This publication aims to provide guidance both at the level of management of individual employees through the plant life cycle and at the organizational level. It elaborates on ten key human resources (HR) processes concerning the management of individual employees as well as the four broader organizational issues — organizational and safety culture, stakeholder engagement, diversity and inclusion, and change management — to which the processes relate.
The publication underscores the importance of the HR function working in tandem with the organization’s management functions to ensure success, and as such is intended to support a variety of users including line managers, HR professionals and senior managers.
The IAEA gratefully acknowledges the work of the contributors to the drafting and review of this publication, particularly B. Molloy (Ireland), S. Mortin (United Kingdom) and D. Palmer (United Kingdom). The IAEA officers responsible for this publication were M. Van Sickle of the Division of Nuclear Power and D. Drury of the Division of Planning, Information and Knowledge Management.
