The Directorate-General for Personnel (DG PERS) is broadly responsible for managing the human resources of the European Parliament's Secretariat, so that it can provide the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) with the assistance they need to fulfil their mandate.

More specifically, DG PERS manages the different groups of staff throughout their career, in areas such as:

• Selection, recruitment, entry, training, career development;
• Management of rights and obligations, salary, allowances, pension rights;
• Protection and well-being at work;
• Strategies to improve and promote equality, diversity and inclusion;
• Management of trainees;
• Internal communication in the institution.

The Luxembourg Medical Service offers services to European Parliament’s staff in the field of occupational, statutory, preventive, general and emergency medicine in Luxembourg and Strasbourg and plays an important role in medical crisis preparedness and response.
