Career Development Programmes
Equip staff to perform their functions at a level of excellence through a coordinated set of complementary initiatives in support to staff members' career paths
Mentoring & Peer-to-Peer Learning
Fostering career, staff development and learning by tapping into the wealth of knowledge and experience of a pool of selected and trained WHO mentors and speakers who share their wisdom and expertise. This initiative is linked to individual career counselling, coaching and career conversations.

MBTI, Belbin, Learning Styles, EQ
A set of psychometric and behavioural tools for personal and team development. These tools are particularly linked to the coaching and mentoring initiatives but can be applied to any context where there is a need for self and team awareness.
Developmental Assignments

Individual & Group Career Counselling
Staff members are offered the opportunity to reflect, brainstorm and plan on their next career move in one to one or small group settings taking place both face-to-face or remotely through webinars. These initiatives are linked to career conversations.
Coaching for Leadership Development
Coaching is one of the best recognized ways to develop one's leadership skills. Certified coaches offer one-to-one sessions or workshops in small groups. Both managers and staff can benefit from it. This initiative has linkages with the WHO Leadership and Management Development Programme.
