Roles and skills development

The mapping of roles within the services and administrative units supporting research, and the professional development pathways based on FBK's People & Skills Framework.

The Foundation has adopted an organizational model based on skills and the value of each individual.

In a global environment characterized by rapid cultural, technological, and organizational changes, FBK promotes a work culture focused on recognizing talent and fostering continuous learning.

Professional development is seen as a strategic driver for addressing current and future challenges. Investing in individual development plans means putting people at the center, listening to their aspirations, and enhancing their distinctive skills to strengthen the excellence of our scientific and professional community.

People & Skills Framework

Introduced in 2019 to move beyond traditional hierarchical structures, the People & Skills Framework establishes an organizational model at FBK based on skills, autonomy, and cross-functional collaboration.

  • The evolution: Initially launched as a pilot project within HR, the framework has gradually been extended to all administrative services supporting research, through interviews, skills-mapping surveys, and dedicated support programmes.
  • The model's approach: Moving beyond the concept of static job descriptions. People are not confined to fixed roles but work across broader areas of responsibility and cross-functional teams, leveraging their diverse skills, strengths, and experiences.
  • The objective: To foster professional growth and development, strengthen individual accountability, and respond flexibly to the Foundation's scientific mission.
