REMINDER: Working group on Whistleblowing!

Dear group,

A reminder that there will be a workshop on "Whistleblowing" held jointly by the Standing Committee on Human Resources Management and the Standing Committee on Legal Questions on November 14, 2008. The workshop will be hosted by the IAEA Staff Council and be held at the Vienna International Centre in Vienna, Austria.

There will be a seminar on the Appeals Process by Larry Fauth the day before, November 13. Sign up for both if you are interested....spaces are filling up fast.

Please advise if you would be able to attend this workshop and send your reply to l.villard@iaea.org. and m.donoho@iaea.org

Homeland Security scraps plans for personnel system

Homeland Security is scrapping a new personnel system due to lack of funding....interesting regarding pay for performance issues. Apparently the ICSC was holding this up as a success story......so much for that now.

Any comments???

Pay for Performance

Dear Colleagues,

At the last FICSA Council in Turin, an FAO representative gave a presentation on Pay for Performance to the HRM Standing Committee. The presentation deals with what pay for performance is and what are the desired outcomes. It delves into various performance parameters and the links between the organization and the individual.
It also provides a segment on what FICSA should do now.

Thank you J. Albert (FAO) for providing the presentation.

I would encourage everyone to share their organizations practices with FICSA and here on this blog.

The link will take you to the presentation but you must be a member to view.
