Dedicated and dynamic teams
When you join INRAE, you will be entering a working environment whose quality and diversity are above all based on the constant mobilisation and commitment of the different teams that make up the Institute’s community.

Special focus on personal management
Whether you work in a research or support unit, your manager will ensure that you are welcomed under optimum conditions to help you understand your new professional environment. He or she will facilitate your integration in the existing working community and make sure you have all the resources necessary to achieve the missions entrusted to you.
INRAE offers all its managers a range of training arrangements and courses so that they can acquire the necessary skills and develop managerial know-how adapted to their posts. The purpose is to ensure they can provide you with optimum support to accomplish your missions, pursue your career path and deal with organisational changes or particular individual situations.
A word of advice: your manager is assisted by the unit’s administrative manager who will be able to guide you on a daily basis during your early days with INRAE and offer practical advice regarding your professional activities.
HR teams ready to listen
All INRAE centres have their own human resources (HR) teams which are responsible for listening to your problems, giving advice and answering questions about your contract, your career and its path or if you encounter problems of a professional, personal or medical nature.
All INRAE centres thus have:
- A human resources manager,
- A personnel manager and his or her dedicated team,
- A head of ongoing training and his or her dedicated team,
- A career guidance adviser,
- A welfare worker,
- An occupational health physician,
- An occupational health and safety adviser,
- A disability adviser.
A disability-friendly Institute
If you have a disability, a skills adviser will participate in your professional integration, and follow-up on any problems. A disability adviser is present in each centre to facilitate your professional integration and your host team will be aware of your situation and smooth your path. A review is always made halfway through the integration process. Training, support or changes to your workstation and/or post will be proposed if necessary.
