The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations in the field of weather, climate and water. Established in 1950, as successor of the International Meteorological Organization (IMO), founded in 1873, WMO became the specialized agency of the United Nations in 1951. Its current membership is of 191 Member States and Territories.
At its 17th sessions in 2015 WMO Congress reaffirmed that an efficient and motivated Secretariat work force is an essential asset for the Organization in meeting the needs of its Members. Staff should be enabled in the most efficient way to carry out the scientific, technical and administrative work required to achieve the goals of the Organization. Hence Congress recommended that WMO management, in consultation with staff, strive to reinforce and enhance the ability of the Secretariat staff to address existing and new challenges, through increased training opportunities also in view of career development, efficiency of the administrative processes and enhanced protection of staff wellbeing, also by making available adequate resources.
A staff satisfaction survey, already carried out in 1997, 2008 and 2012, is a necessary tool for establishing a baseline and gauging improvements in the motivation and efficiency of the workforce, as a results of the measures taken and actions implemented by WMO management. Previous questionnaires had indicated a number of issues that have impacted on the general staff satisfaction. The current management desires to carry out two such surveys, one in the second quarter of 2016 in order to report to Executive Council in June 2016, and a second one in the first half of 2019, to report to the 18th WMO Congress in June 2019. The two surveys shall be carried out with the same or comparable methodologies, in order to allow comparison and measure progresses.
