Agenda
FICSA has organized an English-speaking Workshop on the General Service salary survey methodology II (non-headquarters duty stations) to take place in Bangkok, Thailand, from 15 to 19 May 2017.
The workshop will be held under the kind auspices of the FAO Regional Office and will be 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 Asian region. All duty stations earmarked for comprehensive salary surveys in the next few months are highly recommended to attend.
Workshop programme
The aim of the workshop is to enhance the knowledge of salary survey techniques to the maximum extent possible by providing participants with a detailed overview of the methodology in force at field duty stations, covering survey participants roles and responsibilities as well as due proceedings. Basic concepts related to the system of job evaluation and job classification will be dealt with. Within the framework of the methodology, the following phases will be analyzed: preparatory work, data collection, data analysis, construction and approval of the new salary scale. Interim adjustment procedures and special measures (inflation, devaluation and other situations) will be reviewed as well.
Generally, the workshop runs from 09h00 to 17h00 every day with the standard coffee and lunch breaks. However, these will be confirmed in the provisional agenda.
