Interested in learning from others? Or sharing your UN story?
Introducing Together, an innovative new mentoring programme in which staff of all levels and backgrounds can participate.
What's new or different about this programme?
- The HR project team uses an external software platform to pair staff
- Pairings are based on preferences that mentors and mentees enter at registration.
- Human choice is also involved! Mentees get to review mentor profiles and rank their top five preferences.
- Pairings across duty stations are encouraged and supported through use of Microsoft Teams
- Participants can be mentored by staff in other UN entities such as UNICEF, UNDP and many more
