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, HR administration, professional development, and promoting a healthy and safe working environment, our diverse areas of expertise work closely together to guide and support employees, managers and teams throughout their careers.

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.
