The HRB is committed to be an organisation where all staff can enjoy a productive and balanced work life, develop competencies and progress their careers.

As knowledge based organisation with a leading role nationally to improve health through research and information the HRB aims to be an employer of choice in its field.

The HRB must be the type of organisation that attracts and develops people with the skills, attitudes and knowledge needed to achieve its mission. This means that the HRB must be clear about its objectives, clear about what it expects staff to achieve, provide feedback to staff on performance and support staff to learn new skills, develop new competencies and to increase their knowledge through further education.
