Reporting to: People that Deliver (PtD) Executive Manager, UNICEF Supply Division

 

BACKGROUND ON PEOPLE THAT DELIVER:

People that Deliver (PtD) was established in 2011 as a global partnership of organizations focusing on the professionalization of supply chain personnel by advocating for a systematic approach to human resources (HR) for supply chain management (SCM) at the global and local level. PtD advocates at the international and national level for interventions that improve the demand and supply of qualified health supply chain professionals in organizations, which in turn strengthens the individual practitioners and the organizations in which they work. PtD’s one goal is to create a competent, supported, and adequately staffed supply chain workforce that is deployed across the public and private sectors within the health system.

PtD is governed by a Board of Directors representing seven constituencies; currently 21 organizations sit on the Board, with the Global Fund representing the international donor community, along with USAID and Gavi. PtD is a third-party partner selected by the Global Fund Board to collaborate with the Global Fund as it deploys its capacity development approach for procurement and health supply chain management. PtD recently signed an agreement with the Global Fund to implement activities that will support Global Fund’s catalytic investments and strategy for the period 2017-2022. The impact of Global Fund’s catalytic funding aligns with PtD's transformative direction for 2018-2020 in which PtD is promoting stewardship and leadership at the national level to address the health supply chain workforce needs and advocating for the development of a competent, supported supply chain workforce deployed across the public and private sectors within the health system. PtD not only understands the current HR for health SCM landscape globally and locally, it also identifies, builds and strengthens the tools and resources needed to support capacity building in country.

In 2018, PtD developed the Human Resources for Supply Chain Management Theory of Change (HR4SCM ToC) to provide a useful basis for strategic planning, by providing a foundation for developing strategies—such as to manage the quantity, type, and capacity of human resources required to operate health supply chains. It analyzes the conditions needed to ensure that workers at every level are performing optimally to fulfill all the necessary functions of an effective supply chain system.

Establishing HR policies lays the foundation for carrying out effective HR activities and processes. A number of specific policies are included in each of the pathways within the HR4SCM ToC. For example, establishing performance management policies is foundational to the Motivation pathway. Policies on Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), harassment in the workplace, and environmental and occupational safety form the basis for building further improvement in the Working Conditions pathway. Finally, recruitment and hiring policies lay the groundwork for the Staffing pathway.

Currently, there is no publicly available package of standard HR policies for health supply chain organizations that has been vetted by health SCM experts. Recognizing this need, PtD is collaborating with the Global Fund to develop a package of HR policies that aligns with the HR4SCM ToC and can be adapted to specific country and organizational contexts.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this consultancy is to develop the PtD HR Policies Package for Supply Chain Organizations and pilot the package in one Global Fund focus country.

 

DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENT:

The foundational HR policies that will be included should be in line with those policies outlined in the PtD HR for SCM Theory of Change: recruitment and selection, equal employment opportunities, environmental and occupational safety policies, supportive supervision, and performance management policies. The consultant will be expected to develop these policies using policies from similar industries (such as healthcare), policies from the private sector, and policies used by PtD’s board organizations. The completed package will then be piloted in one Global Fund priority country to collect feedback from stakeholders and use this information to inform any revisions to the final versions of the package.

The Consultant will report to the PtD Executive Manager on the following tasks:

  1. Develop a project plan: the plan should include a timeline for the completion of the key deliverables and the in-country work, a proposed schedule for checkins with PtD, a list of organizations and individuals that will be consulted for the creation and validation of the policies.
  2. Collect HR policies from various sources and propose the full list of policies that should be included in the PtD HR Policy Package. This list should include, but is not limited to the following policies:
    • Recruitment and hiring policies
    • Supportive supervision and performance management policies
    • Compensation and benefits policy
    • Non-disclosure policy
    • Employee code of conduct
    • Environmental and occupational safety policies
    • Anti-harassment and non-discrimination policy
    • Equal employment opportunity policy
    • Leave and time off benefits
    • Safety and health
    • Employee conduct, attendance and punctuality
  3. Complete the first drafts of allof the HR policies and submit to PtD for review
  4. Work with PtD and the Global Fund to select and plan the pilot in one Global Fund priority country
  5. Revise the policies package based on feedback collected during the pilot and prepare the final version of the package
  6. Submit final HR policies package

It is envisioned that this work will take place over a three-month period (approximately 25 working days) from 2 March 2020 until beginning of May 2020.
