Evaluation of the Pilot Phase of the Merit-Promotion Programme (MPP)
July 2009 - To complement the two existing avenues to promotion (reclassification and competition to a higher-graded post), the Director-General introduced a limited merit-promotion programme in January 2008 on a pilot basis.
The objectives of the MPP were to:
promote a results-based culture;
recognise outstanding results or contributions;
recognise high levels of technical and other competences; and
recognise staff mobility (in particular geographical mobility).
Staff members holding a fixed-term or indeterminate contract for a minimum of four years and who had not been promoted at any time during the previous four-year period were eligible. Under the pilot, 34 staff members (1.6% of the Organization’s workforce) received merit-promotions.
The evaluation purpose was to assess the contribution to the MPP objectives, the implementation and process of the MPP, the link between the MPP and reclassification, and the evaluation and selection of candidates.
