IM Unit Management - People

Overview

Technical team management is a unique skill that requires time and effort. If you are a new manager or have been managing a team for years you can still improve your skills.  Consider taking some of the online courses available for OCHA staff through Inspira or Lynda (with a un.org email you have free access).   

Process

All staff should become familiar with OCHA's performance management process (see links in Guidance).  

Every Manager should:

• Communicate clear performance goals and expectations for staff members. (Consider sharing your manager’s performance expectations with your staff.)
• Provide regular and frequent feedback on performance
• Recognize good performance, informally and formally
• Make full use of the initial period of the appointment for new staff members
• Ensure that staff are making the most of development opportunities
