Foreword People who help others in need, as is the case in United Nations organizations, non-governmental organizations, governments and others, deserve to receive the most professional HR support and the most relevant HR advice. If we want these people to make a real impact through their development, humanitarian or peace-building work, they must be carefully selected, constantly motivated and kept informed about their rights and duties, in order to make a real impact. To maintain their performance at a high level, they should be regularly evaluated, encouraged, and kept abreast of the latest professional developments. Drawing on three decades of experience managing international and local personnel in developing countries throughout the world, UNOPS can offer a full range of proven HR instruments and solutions to help its partners do all of the above. UNOPS already provides a range of high-quality, cost-effective HR management services to United Nations bodies, such as the UN Development Programme and the UN Refugee Agency, as well as national governments and other partners, such as Millennium Promise. Do you need to find talented staff quickly? UNOPS has a ready-made roster and bespoke online recruitment system. Are you looking for a simple, flexible and affordable contract modality? Consider our well-regarded Individual Contractor Agreement. Do you need to improve staff morale and encourage top performance? UNOPS can offer you a full recognition, rewards and sanctions package. In addition, UNOPS can also provide state-of-the-art systems which have been developed to simplify the most common, useful HR processes, such as online leave management, workforce planning and more. By outsourcing HR management support to UNOPS, or by purchasing an individual HR service ‘in a box’, our partners can focus on their core objectives, while being confident their most valuable resource, their human capital, will be taken care of by specialists.
