Bring Life Back to the Staff Centre
NATO is a knowledge-intensive organization that derives its relevance from its people. Personal resilience is key to sustained performance when facing a variety of challenges.
The fundamental purpose of Morale, Wellbeing, and Recreation (MWR) is to enhance well-being and foster community-building at NATO HQ.
One of the top MWR priorities is to bring life back to the Staff Centre. The changes you see are based on feedback from the NATO HQ community - more will follow.
Things will look different at the Staff Centre in 2023:
Flexible Sport Memberships
Sport membership policies are now flexible with more options. Members can choose auto-renewal or manual renewal of their membership, and members who choose manual renewal have the option to pay via bank card. The menu of membership options has expanded: the 10-Visit Pass enables members to visit the sports centre 10 times during a 3-month period (EUR 60). Members can choose a basic or family membership for 3 months, 6 months (new), or 12 months.

Food Trucks
From 16 May, food trucks are on-site at the Staff Centre for lunch (Monday-Friday 11h00 – 14h00). Each day of the week will bring a different cuisine; staff can pick up food and sit outside on the terrace, sit inside at the restaurant, or take their food back to the HQ. Card payment accepted.
Social Events
On 12 May, the Staff Centre hosted a “Spring Social", which included a lunch barbeque and an Aperitivo Milano in the evening. Thank you to everyone who participated, and keeps an eye out for similar events in the future!
