People & Development

At Maastricht University (UM), we know that our people make the difference. That is why People & Development (P&D) supports employees, managers and the organisation throughout every stage of the employee lifecycle. From attracting and welcoming new talent to providing HR advice, personnel administration, professional development, and promoting a healthy and safe working environment, our diverse areas of expertise work closely together to provide the support that employees, managers and teams need to thrive.

In addition, we develop strategic HR policies that support the university's ambitions and contribute to a future-proof organisation. By using data, digital solutions and clear communication, we continuously improve our services, support evidence-based decision-making, and ensure that HR policies and developments are accessible to employees and managers. In this way, we help create a university where people can continue to grow and remain sustainably employable.
