Communities of Practice
Communities of Practice (COP) aim to promote cooperation, information sharing, and the development of new approaches to personnel issues among Swiss IC actors.
Organisations in the Communities of Practice expand their networks and promote quality human resource practices in international cooperation. Employees of Network cinfo member organisations can regularly exchange information on personnel and personnel development issues in Biel and via online platforms, and together, generate new understanding and solutions.
Current Communities of Practice:
Personnel and Personnel Development (PPD)
HR personnel from Network cinfo member organisations
- Exchange of information and experiences on human resources and personnel development with experts from other organisations
- Working groups on specific topics such as taxation, compensation, recruitment and planning for future recruitment needs

Having worked on these issues together in the COP, organisations can then further develop their professional practice in their day-to-day work .
