Human Resource Policy
Reykjavík City has adopted a human resources strategy through 2035.
The purpose of the human resources policy is to enhance Reykjavík City's reputation as a desirable workplace, where capable staff ensure exemplary operations and services for residents, visitors, and legal entities.
Guiding principles of the Human Resource Policy
The four guiding principles focus on deliberate and positive improvements that realize the strategy's vision.
One workplace
Unified processes and digital solutions for all workplaces, applicants, staff and managers.
Positive work environment
Everyone has a positive, safe and health-promoting work environment that supports well-being and job satisfaction.
Capable employees
Capable employees choose to work and grow in a workplace built on collaboration and diversity.
Strong managers
Managers have clear responsibilities, leadership skills and the support they need to succeed.
With these four guiding principles in mind, we move forward as one workplace toward a future where capable employees enjoy a positive work environment and opportunities to flourish alongside strong managers.
Future vision
Reykjavík City is one workplace where capable employees enjoy a positive work environment and opportunities to flourish alongside strong managers.
Action plan
- The human resources strategy action plan gets updated annually or more frequently, under the direction of Human Resources and Work Environment Division managers and presented to the City Executive Council for approval.
- Action plans for all sub-strategies are also reviewed annually or more often to maintain alignment with the human resources strategy's guiding principles, priorities and actions.
- Actions in the human resources strategy action plan and sub-strategies should connect to relevant guiding principles and priorities of the human resources strategy for context and accountability.
