Medair’s global HR function supports the organisation in the implementation of world-class humanitarian aid projects by ensuring that the organisation has adequate systems and structures to recruit and retain the right people efficiently. The HR function is also working on impacting Medair’s culture by creating and sustaining a work environment where our values are fully alive, and the staff is being cared of through a “people to people” model.
