DESA's STAFF SPEAK-UP: - USE OF POSTS

B. Use of posts (Summary of the issue raised by DESA Staff)

• According to inputs received from staff, the re-allocation of posts among branches within DESA Divisions to accommodate individual promotions yields the following negative results:

i) discourages career development and mobility because individuals stay in their current job while receiving a higher level;

ii) lack of fair assessment and evaluation of post level because the higher level post is not properly classified;

iii) depletes resources thereby adversely affecting performance; iv) destroys morale as it is seen as favouritism and abuse of power.
