Curious about what the best — and worst — jobs are to land within the United Nations system? The happiest staffers can be found at the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Office of Administration of Justice, according to a new U.N. staff survey.
At the other end of the scale, the U.N. Office of the High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States, and the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa ranked bottom.
Employees from across the organization’s departments were asked questions about job satisfaction, career development, leadership and ethics.
