The Challenge

EUMETNET, a European foundation coordinating national meteorological services, required a consistent HR framework to support its small but geographically dispersed workforce across six different European countries.

Despite having fewer than 20 employees, EUMETNET’s cross-border structure made HR management highly complex — with varying local laws, documentation standards, and employment conditions.

The foundation needed a single, pan-European employee handbook that aligned local legal requirements while preserving organizational coherence and fairness across its member countries.

The Solution

Europe HR Solutions was engaged to design and deliver a Pan-European Employee Handbook that ensured compliance, consistency, and cultural sensitivity across EUMETNET’s operations.

Our scope included:

• Conducting a legal review of HR policies and labor law requirements in six European countries.
• Designing a core European HR framework, adaptable to local variations.
• Drafting and delivering a Pan-European Employee Handbook that covered employment conditions, benefits, leave, and workplace conduct.
• Ensuring alignment with EU directives and national labor laws.
• Providing practical implementation guidance for management and employees.

The final product gave EUMETNET a unified HR reference tool that maintained compliance while fostering transparency and equality across all countries.
