16 August 2018 - Announcement: FICSA workshop General Service salary survey methodology II (non-headquarters duty stations) (UNON Nairobi, 8 to 12 October 2018)

I have the pleasure to inform you that FICSA will be holding an English-speaking Workshop on the General Service salary survey methodology II (non-headquarters duty stations) in Nairobi, Kenya, from 8 to 12 October 2018.

The Workshop will be held under the kind auspices of the United Nations Office in Nairobi, with the full support and assistance of local Staff Association and conducted by a FICSA Resource Person.

The workshop is open to staff representatives and participants irrespective of their duty station of assignment. However, participation is intended principally for staff serving in the African region. Duty stations earmarked for comprehensive salary surveys in the next few months are highly recommended to attend.

Full details are contained in the attached announcement:

30 July 2018 - Workshop on International Civil Service Law (27 August 2018, Vienna)

Dhinakaran International Law Consultancy is pleased to announce they will be organizing a one-day workshop on International Civil Service Law. The workshop will be organized on 27 August 2018 (Monday) from 9 am to 5 pm at the NH Danube City Hotel at the following address:

NH Danube City Hotel, Wagramer Str. 21, 1220 Vienna, Austria.

The workshop will be conducted in English by Ms. Renuka Dhinakaran, International Civil Service Law Attorney. Meeting room details will be communicated directly to the participants. 

The workshop will focus on four main issues which happen to be of a recurring nature in various international organizations. We recommend this as an essential training course for all staff representatives as it covers the basic understanding of the following areas:

  • Staff consultation
  • How to work through the internal justice systems and the ILO Administrative Tribunal
  • Restructuring, reward revisions, abolition of posts
  • Performance appraisal and staff reports.

A word version of the announcement is attached along with the application form. Since the number of seats is limited, admission will be based on a first-come, first-served basis. FICSA members are eligible for a reduced participation fee. Participants will be invited to a working lunch as part of the workshop.
