EXECUTIVE BOARD 128th Session Provisional agenda item 9.1

EB128/31 Add.1 25 November 2010

Human resources: annual report Report by the Secretariat

STAFFING PROFILE 1. This report presents the Organization’s staffing profile as at 31 July 2010;1 as human resources annual reports have been available for more than 10 years, it also provides an analysis of some aspects of the evolution of the workforce. The data include details on: appointment categories; staff distribution by sex; geographical representation; age, grade, length of service and turnover of staff; and distribution of staff in professional and higher category posts across main occupational groups. 2. The final report containing complete data on the staffing profile as at 31 December 2010 will be submitted to the Sixty-fourth World Health Assembly.

Appointment categories 3. As at 31 July 2010, WHO had a total of 7175 staff members holding a fixed-term or a continuing appointment (both referred to hereinafter as “long-term appointments”),2 of whom 2410 (33.6%) were in the professional and higher categories, 892 (12.4%) were in the national professional officer category and 3873 (54.0%) in general services category (see Table 1). The number of staff members holding long-term appointments has increased by 227 (3.3%) compared with the number reported in the staffing profile as at 31 December 2009.3 4. As at 31 July 2010, 1624 staff were on temporary appointments (see Figure 1 and Table 1), a slight decrease compared with the number reported in the profile as at 31 December 2009. Temporary staff currently represent 18.5% of the total workforce compared with 45.7% reported for 2000.4This constitutes a 27.2% reduction in the proportion of that type of appointment and a decrease of 44.7% in the number of temporary staff during this period. If the figure for 2010 is compared with the 2002 peak

figure of 5091 staff members with temporary appointments,1 the percentage decrease in the staff employed on this type of appointment, is 68.1%.

Figure 1. Number of staff by contract type

5. Table 2 sets out the distribution of staff members holding long-term appointments by organizational location, grade and sex. Within the distribution for the professional and higher categories, it can be observed that the proportion of staff by grade has changed most significantly at grades P.3 to P.5 (P.3: 10.3% to 15.3%; P.4: 27.2% to 35.7%; and P.5: 40.0% to 31.5%). These changes mean that a total of 56.6% of staff holding long-term appointments are at grade P.4 or below compared with 45.3% in 2000.

Staff category by organizational location and office type2 6. In 2000, 35.5% of staff members holding long-term appointments were assigned to headquarters, 39.9% to regional offices and 24.5% to country offices. In July 2010 the figures were 26.8%, 24.5% and 48.7% respectively, confirming a significant shift in the location of long-term staff towards the country level. This reflects the more rational and strategic deployment of human resources throughout the Organization that is being undertaken in support of WHO’s country operations (see Figure 2).

Figure 2. Distribution of staff holding long-term contracts, by office type 2000–2010

7. Between 2000 and 2010, the number of staff holding long-term contracts in the national professional officer category increased nearly sevenfold, rising from 128 in 2000 to 892 in 2010. Figure 4 indicates that, in this category, staff numbers at country office level increased gradually between 2000 and 2007; the substantial growth visible between 2008 and 2010 was linked to changes in appointment type. The vast majority of national professional officers (70.2%) are located in the African Region, while 10.5% are based in the European Region. 8. In the general service category, staff numbers rose rapidly between 2006 and 2009, levelling off in 2010 (see Figure 3).

Distribution of staff by sex 9. The representation of women in the professional and higher categories has increased steadily over the past 10 years, rising from 31.9% in December 2000 to 40.2% in July 2010. Over the past 20 years, representation of women has almost doubled. Figure 4 illustrates the annual increases over that period, highlighting the redoubled efforts made to achieve the target of gender balance. If the current trend is maintained, gender parity in the Organization could be a realistic target for the next decade (see Figure 5).

Figure 4. Percentage of women in the professional and higher categories, 1990–31 July 2010

Figure 5. Projection of the movement towards gender parity in the professional and higher categories

10. As at 31 July 2010, 1442 (59.8%) of the 2410 staff members in the professional and higher categories on long-term appointments were men and 968 were women (40.2%).

EB128/31 Add.1

11. At the higher grades in this category men outnumber women (see Table 2), although the number of women in these grades has been steadily increasing over time. For example, in 2000, 34.7% of staff members at grade P.4 were women, while as at 31 July 2010, the percentage had increased to 42.3%. Over the same period, the percentage of women at grade P.5 rose from 24.6% to 33.3%. At the most senior levels the picture is more mixed. As at 31 July 2010, the proportion of women at P.6/D.1 was 21.0%, compared with 24.5% in 2000; however, at grade D.2 the percentage had risen from 9.8% to 24.4%, with an increase from 20.0% to 38.1% recorded for women in ungraded posts. 12. In the national professional officer category, the percentage of women has remained relatively stable: in July 2010 it was 33.9%, compared with 30.5% in 2000. In the general service category, whereas women made up 57.9% of the category in December 2000, they now represent 52.2%.

Geographical representation 13. As part of WHO’s activities to achieve greater diversity in the workforce, targeted efforts to improve geographical representation have continued. Statistics have been analysed to generate diversity profiles, and the latter have been applied in the context of the Organization’s future staffing needs in order to highlight new sources of talent and identify both gaps in the planning of activities and priority groups for attention (see Figure 6).

Figure 6. Number of staff in the professional and higher categories in posts counted for geographical representation 200–2010

14. It can be seen from Figure 7 that efforts to increase the number of nationals of developing countries recruited to positions in the professional and higher categories have resulted in an increase in the number of developing countries that are overrepresented in relation to their desirable range.

Figure 7. Number of countries overrepresented in WHO 2000–2010

15. Tables 4a–f give details of the status of representation of Member States for each region (the data exclude staff members in posts funded by their country of nationality). The following changes have taken place since the last annual report as at 31 December 2009: • two Member States that were previously unrepresented (Lithuania and Suriname) are now within their desirable range of geographical representation; • one Member State that was underrepresented (Israel) is now within its desirable range of geographical representation; • three Member States that were previously overrepresented (Brazil, Colombia and Thailand) are now within their desirable range of geographical representation; • two Member States that were previously within their desirable range of geographical representation (Germany and Iran (Islamic Republic of)) are now overrepresented.

Age, grade, length of service and turnover of staff 16. As at 31 July 2010, within the professional and higher categories, 52.7% of staff members were aged under 50 years. In the general service category, 69.8% of staff members were in this age group, while in the national professional officer category the proportion was 64.0% (see Figure 8). In the professional and higher categories, the largest number of staff members were aged between 50 and 59 years (42.4%). In the general service category, 42.0% of staff members were aged between 40 and 49 years, constituting the largest group of staff members in this category. In the national professional officer category, 35.2% of staff members were aged between 40 and 49 years – the largest group for this category (see Tables 5 and 6).

17. According to current projections, 13.6% of the workforce is due to retire in the next five years (18.5% of staff in the professional and higher categories) and 27.2% in the next 10 years (35.6% of staff in the professional and higher categories) (see Table 9). 18. When the figures are analysed by sex, it can be seen that male staff in the professional and higher categories are older than women. As a consequence, they will retire before their female colleagues, which will offer an opportunity to improve the gender balance further. 19. In 2000 staff members with less than five years of service represented 29.9% of the total number of staff holding long-term appointments; by contrast, in 2010 they represent 57.7%. These numbers reflect the marked increase in fixed-term recruitment during the past five years (see Table 7). 20. In 2000, the average length of service was 11.5 years (8.8 years for staff in the professional and higher categories and 13.7 years for general service staff). Since 2005, the average length of service has remained stable at about seven years for staff in the professional and higher categories, and about eight years for staff in the general service category. 21. Table 8 and Figure 9 provide data on staff appointments, including those of staff members who commenced employment in the period 1 January 2010 to 31 July 2010. In the case of the professional and higher categories, 66 staff members (69.5%) were recruited externally, 25 appointments (26.3%) were conversions of existing temporary contracts and 4 staff members (4.2%) were appointed through interagency transfer.
