Danish nationals are currently under-represented in the European civil service, and the Danish government expects this trend to worsen over the next decade, with 40% of Danish nationals working for EU institutions set to retire. To counter this trend, Denmark has selected 20 civil servants who will receive special training to prepare for EU civil service exams. Also, between now and 2025, it will send 100 Danish experts on EU postings with the aim of kindling their interest in a longer-term EU career.

SNCF, France's railway operator, offers new, more appropriate job roles to its workers deemed “at risk” (e.g. those with disabilities, those who have trouble coping with new technologies, or who have been declared unfit for their previous jobs). These workers are organised into groups called “Alpha” teams, helping them prepare for their return to the workforce by working for local managers. At the same time, professional mobility advisers help them to finalise their retraining projects for new jobs within the SNCF group or outside. 

To reach its objective of reflecting the diversity of the British population, the UK civil service has launched the Fast Stream programme (which offers an accelerated career path to leadership roles in the civil service). Candidates may be eligible for exemption from the initial selection exams if they meet at least one of these three criteria: non-European ethnic origin, disability, or from a low-income background.
