HRWG - Human Resources Working Group
The group discusses virtually all issues related to the personnel policies of the Public Service and some general administrative matters concerning Reform programmes.

This working group discusses ways to improve the quality of public services. In this capacity it is responsible for developing new tools and activities which support this goal.

The Social Dialogue Working Group is the framework for the 2008-09 test phase for a strengthened and structured informal social dialogue. The aim of the two-year test phase is to promote and improve the European social dialogue for central government administration.
