In a context of rapidly evolving needs, increasing competition for talent, skill shortages, and with a view to improving employee engagement and diversity in the staff, WIPO is seeking to continue the implementation of its HR Strategy (2022-2026).
With the expected retirement of half of its professional population in the coming 15 years, additional focus will be on succession planning and the identification of high potential to prepare for the transition. In order to achieve this, WIPO needs to mature its workforce planning from tactical to Strategic Workforce Planning.

c) Propose new approaches for the identification of critical skills to successfully deliver within the evolving work environment and inform the development plans to ensure staff maintain current skills and build new skills and to develop talent pipelines for recruitment.
