the annual planning HR-plans for the next and forthcoming years are established.
Necessary factors for success of STUK are adequate human resources and professional
competence in all areas relevant for radiation and nuclear safety. Maintaining and
developing human capital is supported by maps on competence needs and actual
available competencies within each organizational unit (Guide STUK 5.2). When
evaluating the competence needs the safety significance of the regulated activities is
also considered. The original version of maps was developed by the respective units
with support of consultant, and they contain information on skills and knowledge of
each person. The competence maps are updated annually and used for making personal
development plans, succession planning and recruitment of new staff and planning
development of human capital in the long term.
STUK arranges adequate in-house and external training for staff members. Staff is
encouraged to develop their competence by i.e. training on various topics for two
weeks every year. Also important is on-the job training in teams and with senior staff
members. A standard initial training course is arranged several times a year for the
newcomers. And managers are responsible for developing initial training programmes
for each newcomer.
In order to capture main knowledge of retiring and staff leaving STUK the managers
interview them (Guide STUK HA 3.5). One item in these interviews is how knowledge
has transmitted. STUK has also recruited new staff 6-12 months before retirement of
experienced staff and in these cases the senior expert has taken part in the in-the-jobtraining.
Information technology enhances the efficiency of STUK’s operations. Information
systems are user-friendly, reliable and mutually compatible. Data security is well
organised. (STUK’s Quality Policy)
STUK provides knowledge and information for staff through internal website
(SANTRA). STUK information management system uses the electronic SAHA-system
(case management and document management systems). E.g. the VASARA-system
(regulatory control for the use of radiation) and TARKKA-system (inspection protocols
and records related to the regulatory control of the use of nuclear energy) are
connected to the SAHA system.
In case STUK needs support or more knowledge on a specific topic relevant for safety, it
can use TSOs, other external consultants to support the development of in-house
knowledge.
