Background

The Integrated Talent Management Unit is responsible for designing strategies, solutions, tools and services that enable and facilitate more effective and impactful people decisions and help shape a workplace where individuals thrive and teams excel. The Unit includes several service lines e.g. competency management, job design and classification; talent sourcing, onboarding, and succession management; diversity, employee engagement, and staff well-being; performance management, learning and leadership development, and career management. It also includes a distinct service line for internal management consulting which enables strategic positioning, resources alignment and business process reengineering.

The mission of ITM is to enable effective management of UNDP talent through full integration of all aspects of talent management. Such an approach incorporates data from a variety of processes from recruitment, to performance management, learning, and development, and translates it into a coherent ‘employee life cycle' centered around one competency framework aligned with the UNDP Strategic Plan. The Talent Development Unit (TDU) plays a key role in the talent development process including developing frameworks, programmes, tools and partnerships.

TDU has three focus areas: a) support teams to achieve the highest possible performance to realize the organization’s strategic mission, b) prepare and continually develop employees and learning ecosystems to achieve the highest possible performance to meet the organization’s strategic mission and c) design processes, systems and tools to create a culture of continuous learning, knowledge sharing, growth, innovation and development.

UNDP is committed to implementing state of the art capability development experiences across the globe. This role will focus on supporting the enablement of the capability development portfolio to enable our people to grow, develop and perform. We are looking for a dedicated, agile and enthusiastic reinforcement to our team who can get things done and prioritize in our evolving and dynamic operating context. The incumbent will support organizational development (OD) and capability development (CD) strategies, plans and policies that align and facilitate the delivery of UNDP’s Strategic Plan (2018-2021) and UNDP’s new People Strategy (2019-2021).
