For every child, Hope
The HR Manager (Workforce Planning) is considered a seasoned professional and is responsible for the development, execution and the implementation of work force planning. She/he will report to the Chief of Talent Acquisition, but will act as a subject matter expert (SME) on work force planning strategy and provide guidance to key stakeholders and partners in the implementation of the work force planning initiative. The Workforce Planning initiative is currently focused on four key areas:
- Functional areas mapping – review of existing functional areas of UNICEF to determine if functions need to be added, merged, removed. Every post in UNICEF is attached to a function.
- Skills mapping – capture the existing skills of UNICEF staff, develop a skills ‘inventory’ of required skills of current posts (both current state and future needs) and take measures to close the skills gap.
- Review of work modalities - review of the types of functions that lend themselves to different work modalities (e.g. office-based, blended telework at duty station, home-based, surge mechanisms, retainer modality, part-time work, expanding the humanitarian Emergency Response Team (ERT) concept to non-humanitarian contexts, etc.)
- Review of Internal Talent Marketplace platforms and system functionality.
