Job Title: WELLBEING APP Junior Consultant
Type of Contract: CST
Division: Staff Counselling/WEL
Duty Station (City, Country): Rome HQ, Italy
Duration: 11 months
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
The United Nations World Food Programme (UN WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes. The core policies and strategies that govern WFP activities are: save lives in emergency situations; improve the nutrition and quality of life of the most vulnerable people; and to help build assets and promote the self-reliance of poor people and communities, particularly through conditional food for work and training programmes.
The challenges of working in difficult conditions to bring much needed food and support to our recipients while inherently rewarding, can place a great deal of pressure and stress on WFP staff. As a part of a multidisciplinary team under the Staff Wellness Division, the Staff Counselling Unit is committed to the promotion of psychological and physical health in the broadest sense so staff can continue to function at high levels in order to meet the mandate of the organization. We do this by identifying and addressing psychological risk factors in the workplace, and through the provision of counselling services to staff members and their dependents.
The WFP Wellbeing app and platform contains information on a broad spectrum of health-related issues giving staff the tools for self-assessment, tips on addressing issues identified, the ability to contact any of the Wellness Team members and information specific to several duty stations. The philosophy of the platform is that quality of information is directly related to wellbeing. To this end Wellness has partnered with global, regional and local HR to develop country specific pages that act as a digital welcoming package providing quality information about the duty station, and has partnered as well with several UN agencies which has installed this functionality and content in their own digital spaces.
