WFP has developed a broad policy focusing on ‘people’ which articulates the organization’s vision of its future workforce and the core values that shape WFP’s workplace culture. It is known as the WFP people policy and ‘people’ is defined to mean any employee of WFP regardless of the contract modality.

The purpose of the people policy is to establish a coherent framework for excellence in people management by outlining WFP’s workforce vision and commitments, and its expectations of employees’ behaviour to each other and to the organization.

WFP’s vision is of a future workforce which is diverse, committed, skilled and high-performing teams, where members are selected on merit, operating in a healthy and inclusive work environment and living WFP's values, working with partners to save and change the lives of those they serve.

To achieve this, the policy identifies four priority areas for people management and establishes a set of 12 elements that support the implementation of initiatives under the priority areas. The four priority areas are ”nimble and flexible”, ”performing and improving”, ”diverse and inclusive” and ”caring and supportive”. It also identifies 34 commitments which WFP makes or expects to be made to its ‘people’ by its leaders, managers, supervisors, and employees.

The WFP people policy has been developed with high levels of participation by employees and their staff associations and considered at five informal consultation events with the Executive Board. The Board approved the policy on 23 June 2021 as part of its regular annual meeting.

This policy will be supported by an organizational change process aimed at ensuring effective implementation. This change process will have regard for the agreed high-level implementation and investment plan; KPIs; a monitoring and reporting plan and a communication/dissemination plan.
