With its unique and inclusive culture, UN-Women is an employer of choice with a diverse and highly performing cadre of personnel that embodies UN values

To keep UN Women ROAP and its NPPs as an attractive employer, ROAP HR achieved two critical targets: 1) high performing HR capacity was ensured throughout the entire talent management circle - recruitment, performance management, learning and development, etc - to support delivery of results; 2) an inclusive and empowering workplace was created through the various initiatives, which responded to the feedback collected in the 2022 staff survey. The adequate HR capacity in ROAP contributed to the delivery of results of the SN. Staff particularly benefited from an inclusive and empowering culture, with learning culture and performance accountability reinforced.

In 2025, HR strengthened employee well-being and organizational resilience through proactive strategic partnership with management and staff, particularly during cost-containment, workforce planning, and RO SN development. Targeted HR missions supported priority Country Offices on strategic realignment. A strong performance culture was reinforced through structured guidance and monitoring, resulting in the highest regional Performance Management and Development (PMD) completion rate (94%), alongside full compliance (100%) with annual certification on Standards of Conduct and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA). These results strengthened accountability, reinforced alignment between individual objectives and regional priorities, and ensured continuity of programme delivery. Complementing this performance framework, the ROAP Learning Journey successfully concluded its biennium, addressing identified learning needs of the staff in data essentials (including gender statistics), AI applications, communications, and career development. It strengthened staff skills, adaptability, and career progression, further reinforcing internal capacity to support programme delivery and strategic priorities.
