Administrative efficiency or investment in well-being?

As a Researcher and Fellow, I am increasingly reflecting on the critical role of Administration and Human Resource Management in shaping the efficiency and impact of our work. Beyond processes and policies, HR is about nurturing talent, fostering diversity, and creating an enabling environment for innovation.

Yet, a key question remains: how can international organizations like UNECA balance the need for efficiency with the imperative to invest in people’s growth and well-being?

I would love to hear thoughts and experiences from colleagues and peers: what innovative HR practices have you seen that truly empower teams and enhance institutional performance?

I think scouting for talent beyond resume, and limiting complete reliance on AI to sieve talent during recruitment.
