COs without JPOs were not included. • Global Staff Survey (for JPOs – most critical) • Global Staff Survey (breakdown by CO) • A Critical Path Analysis project was finalized, the workflow and chain of approvals got streamlined.

  9. ICT • A customer relationship management system (paperless office + much more) was implemented, representing a pilot for UNDP. • An online recruitment system was implemented, automating the entire recruitment cycle. • An application was developed offering protected online access to salary statements. • An application was created letting donors make calculations as to cost of assignment in a given duty station.
