vacancy arising
For national staff affected by the cuts,
OCHA senior managers in your respective offices will actively
work with other UN entities in-country to identify potential
alternative career opportunities. For OCHA staff (national
and international) applying for UN Secretariat positions
through Inspira, ASB Human Resources will activate the
downsizing indicator, which will 'flag' your candidacy and
draw the attention of the Hiring Manager to those candidates
who are currently placed against positions to be downsized.
ASB Staff Welfare Unit is available for counselling to support
anyone dealing with stress created during this time of
uncertainty. Additionally, ASB Staff Development and
Learning Unit is ready to provide staff with career advice or
guidance on training opportunities for upgrading skills,
including CV writing and preparing for interviews. I have
attached a list of the ASB focal points from whom further
information can be obtained.
I am extremely grateful to you all for your constructive and
positive approach during this difficult period for OCHA. I am
convinced that we can emerge from this stronger, more
focused and ready to meet the challenges of the future. I
know how highly committed you all are to helping those
affected by conflict and disasters across the world. This is
our ultimate objective and we must never lose sight of it.
Now is the time that we must come together as one OCHA to
support one another to deliver the highest quality products
and services to the humanitarian community.
Warm wishes,
Stephen
