Abstract

The overall objectives of the DPKO-DFS e-Guide are to: - provide basic information about peacekeeping and the work and role of DPKO and DFS in order to equip new staff members with knowledge on issues of importance to both departments, and - facilitate new staff members' transition and induction into the DPKO-DFS Headquarters work environment, thereby enhancing their familiarity with the context and accelerating their abilities to adapt to the organizational culture and contribute to work processes. The information contained in the e-Guide will be relevant to all levels of new staff at UN Headquarters.
