Notes with concern that the Agency has not adopted the ‘Charter on Diversity and Inclusion’, nor it has reported on measures taken for the integration of persons with disabilities; reminds that the Union’s Charter of Fundamental Rights prohibits discrimination on the ground of disability and recognises the right of people with disabilities to benefit from measures to ensure their independence, social and occupational integration and participation in the life of the community; notes however the Agency’s commitment to address those areas through measures that will be implemented once the upcoming HR Strategy will be adopted; further observes that the Agency has taken initiatives and put in place various measures in order to improve its staff’s well-being at work and work-life balance such as targeted training courses, service level agreements with childcare providers and schools, a psychological and social support service, awareness raising campaigns, as well as free-time activities;
