For every child, results

UNICEF Janakpur is the field office of NCO having a heavy program presence with the largest number of staff. Field staffs are performing as the frontline representatives of UNICEF working diligently to advance UNICEF’s goals and missions while engaging with various tiers of the government of Nepal. Field office staff are from diverse backgrounds and have varied experience in terms of skill sets and number of years working with UNICEF. The organization’s strength lies in its skilled and resolute personnel, who play a vital role in driving its operations and ensuring the achievements of results. Managerial skills, often referred to as soft skills, are the foundation for both programmatic and operations functions which leads UNICEF towards effectiveness and success. The soft skills have been included in the retreat aimed at bridging the capacity gap and enhancing the capacities of staff members associated with UNICEF competency and technical skills.
Fostering a positive workplace culture has always been the key priority of the organization. Staff are facing different challenges internally and externally during the course of discharge of their responsibilities. The retreat offers an opportunity to reinforce staff well-being and advance constructive collaboration among staff members. Spirituality and mental wellbeing are interconnected as spirituality nurtures a sense of own-self, inner strength, peace and hope which is important to enhance the coping mechanism during stressful times, reduce anxiety and provide peace of mind. Physical and mental wellbeing helps to transform the learning into action. The wellbeing session holds significance in installing trust within the team and towards UNICEF goal in broader terms.
