Enhanced WHO global competency model

Overview

WHO is moving forward in an evolving environment and the Enhanced Global Competency Model reflects the behaviours, standards and values that will ensure the success of the Organization along with staff personal and professional development.

Competencies provide us with a common language to define the required behaviours in different jobs. The Enhanced WHO Global Competency Model is embedded in the HR Strategy and its main components.

Each competency includes a set of behavioural indicators required of a staff member by the Organization in a particular job level and grade. Three groups of competencies have been identified: Core, Managerial and Leadership reminding us of the successful behaviours we need to display in all our daily work at WHO.

This Enhanced WHO Global Competency Model is the result of a consultative process across the Organization and is meant to be a fairly complete resource in your exploration and implementation of the organizational competencies.
