Dear Colleagues,
As part of the United Nations Ethics Office Leadership Dialogue series, all staff members of the United Nations Secretariat (UN-Habitat staff included) are required to take part in the 2015 Leadership Dialogue similar to the one held last year on the topic "Treating Each Other with Respect and Tolerance at the work place". This year's session, entitled "Fulfilling our Mission: Taking Individual Responsibility", will be a one hour session and will be undertaken in the following order:
- The Executive Director will launch the dialogue with his direct reports (Senior Managers) on Thursday, 5 November 2015 at 3.00 PM (Nairobi time);
- Thereafter, the Deputy Executive Director will launch the dialogue with her direct reports;
- Directors and P-5 level staff members will then host dialogue sessions with their direct reports;
- P-4 level staff members who manage teams will host dialogue sessions with their direct reports, if their direct reports were not already included in the Director/P-5 led discussions;. And so on; and
- Ultimately, all UN-Habitat staff globally will be part of a Leadership Dialogue session which are expected to be completed by 30 December 2015;
All heads of Offices/branches/Divisions will be asked to certify that all their direct reports have completed their dialogue sessions. The Legal Office can assist in facilitating these sessions and provide the necessary guidance. A final report on participation will be sent to the Ethics Office upon completion of all sessions.
Attached is a memorandum from the Chef de Cabinet regarding the launch of the 2015 Leadership Dialogue.
