The closer collaboration with HR leaders worldwide is at the heart of the independent safety group’s new resourcing strategy, which will identify and recruit new secondees for WANO to help the industry’s long-term improvement initiative, ‘Action for Excellence – Shaping the Nuclear Future’.
WANO’s members – owners and operators of nuclear power plants – provide WANO with highly skilled staff to work for WANO for typically between two to three years under its secondments programme. WANO said the major benefit of the programme is that secondees acquire new skills and international experience.
WANO said that in the coming months it will host special workshops for HR leaders in each of its regional centres – Moscow, Paris, and Tokyo. The workshops will help build a network of HR leaders for the nuclear industry to develop talent, which will drive performance at plants worldwide and “shape a positive future for the global industry”, WANO said.
WANO was established in 1989 by nuclear power operators to exchange safety knowledge and operating experience amongst organisations operating commercial nuclear power reactors. WANO’s members operate around 460 nuclear units in over 30 countries and areas worldwide.
