- comments:
- The PE4DW programme team and project teams
- challenges:
- The effects of being understaffed include high workloads and high turnover (although the latter is also related to non-competitive levels of compensation).
- success:
- The team is delivering effectively given its small size and has made use of consultants or seconded ILO staff to address some of their gaps in capacity.
- context:
- ILO teams are normally lean, so staffing arrangements for PE4DW are not unusual; however, given the systems approach being used—involving interventions across micro, meso and macro levels, the multiple geographies covered in each geography, and the need to integrate cross-cutting issues it is clear teams would benefit from more staff resources.
- description:
- Under resourced with respect to staffing. The team (programme and country teams) has experienced and is experiencing the effects of being understaffed: high workloads, requiring travel to widely dispersed locations; high turnover (which is also related to non-competitive levels of compensation), and a lack of in-house expertise to adequately address cross-cutting issues such as gender and environmental sustainability.
- administrative_issues:
- ILO Programme management and donors will need to agree what increase in resources for staffing (and/or consultants) is acceptable.
