- Encourage the employee to reflect on ambitions on a longer term (also after MSF), motivation and commitment, strengths and improvement areas and to translate this in short- and long-term career and development actions that create a win-win for the employee and the organisation. The individual development plan serves as a guide for the employee and a formalization that is shared with CDM and PM. (see DA toolbox - content to be developed).
- Hold development conversations (see DA toolbox - content to be developed) with the employee to discuss, understand and enrich the development plan. The added value of the DA will be in the:
- Coaching of the employee, i.e. provoking in depth reflection but also giving feedback on how the organisation perceives the employee’s performance and potential.
- Guidance in the means of development that MSF can offer. Apart from the support by the DA, the means of development are based on the MSF Development Strategy and more particular the 70-20-10 learning model that are summarized in the DA toolbox (content to be developed).
- Establishment of concrete individual plans that creates a win-win between the employee’s and the organisation’s ambitions.
- Maintain regular contact with field workers before, during and after missions. Although concerns on missions are addressed via line management and other channels, the DA is a person of trust to discuss issues during the course of engagement with MSF.
The DA will contribute to the building of the HR pyramid of MSF (pool and/or leadership pyramid) by:
- Giving input to the organisation on the employee’s future potential (e.g. ambition, commitment to MSF) in order to give MSF insight in its current population and to identify the areas where action is needed in order to fulfill future needs.
- Helping the employee to draw up a development plan that integrates the employee’s profile (incl. performance and potential) and takes into account development tools the employee into his/her plans. As formulated in the DA toolbox content to be developed).
- Having regular contact with the pool manager who will give update on current and future needs of the pool.
- The DA is involved once a year by the pool manager in the analysis of the pool and the development of an action plan to make sure MSF’s future needs will be fulfilled.
In order to make this work, the DA ensures that employee career data (e.g. availability dates, individual development plan, evaluations, debriefing notes, etc) are registered and up to date in order to allow HR colleagues to use these data efficiently.
Also, in case a training, coaching, etc is agreed with the candidate and line management, the CA makes sure that the proper enrollment procedures is initiated.

- The DA checks if a candidate may match job/mission requirements before discussing potential matches with a candidate or a pool manager. The DA proposes a candidate to the relevant pool manager in the OC.
- This pre-matching is relevant in order to avoid unnecessary inefficiencies for all stakeholders. DA defends the candidatures with the support of the Recruitment Report/Profile Sheet/Individual Development Plan while ensuring the availability of the people presented.
- The DA is the primary contact for the candidate during the matching process.
- The DA discusses a potential mission/job with the candidate and makes sure the candidate has all available information on the mission/job in order to allow the candidate to decide whether or not to apply for/accept the mission.
