People Committee

The EBU People Committee organizes regular events for human resources directors and managers across the EBU Membership. This includes an annual assembly, webinars, conference calls, surveys, project groups, exchanges of HR professionals, research and social media activity.

The committee consists of 6-8 elected members that can be re-elected twice for a maximum of 6 years in total. There is a Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson and committee members need to reflect the diversity and equity principles of the EBU. Decisions are made by a simple majority, a quorum being set at 50% participation. In the case of parity, the Chairperson’s vote prevails.

The group meets regularly, either virtually or in-person at the Geneva headquarters or a remote location. Through discussions and proposals from its members, the committee defines, in collaboration with the EBU People team, the theme and agenda of the next Assembly and identifies speakers.

Members of the EBU People Committee may be interested in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) resources developed by the EBU:

• Neurodiversity guidelines: A valuable resource aimed at enhancing understanding, support and celebration of neurodivergent people and talent across EBU Member organisations.
• DEI topic page: A central landing page that brings together all EBU content on the topic of DEI. It includes the DEI Casebook, an anthology of case studies from across the Membership, along with information about related groups, events, research papers and news items.
