    🏃♀️“I really need to hit the ground running” we often hear that expression when someone starts a new role – and indeed the frequent job changes/short contracts in the humanitarian sector make this a key skill. But how do you actually get up to speed quickly in a new role? Recently I completed the first 4 months of a new job within UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. During this time, I made a strategic effort to apply the tools I learnt over the last years in a structured way. Here is what I learned and what helped me in getting up to speed quickly: ✍𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐣𝐨𝐛/𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦: One of the simplest and effective ways to accelerate your learning is to write things down (like a Wikipedia entry, including references). Pretend you are a researcher and document relevant info on the team, stakeholders, your work and where to find key documents. This will not only help you remember the overload of information in the first weeks, but also provide you with a structured cheat sheet to look up key facts as you move ahead. 📖𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: For me the book “The first 90 days” has been instrumental in getting up to speed in several roles so far. Just don’t expect to implement all its tips and techniques at once and rather pick and choose what you can focus on right now. If you apply new things from the book at the beginning of each new role, you will start to leverage all its potential over time. (Some valuable advice from the book: 1) Clarify expectations early and regularly 2) Don’t assume that what made you successful in your last job will do so in your new role). 💬𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦: Without appreciating and really understanding the people and their roles in your new team, you will have much less impact. At the same time the team you are joining is holding a lot of organizational knowledge that you need to tap into as a new colleague. My approach this time was to combine valuable facetime to get to know each other with a set of 3-4 open questions related to the team and my new function. This allowed me to create an analysis of the work of my team, which I then verified with my manager and colleagues. That way I got to know all my colleagues AND quickly built my understanding about what the key issues are and how to best approach my new role. 🧘♂️While applying these and other techniques can have a great impact, it is equally important to acknowledge that starting a new role is by definition a learning process and will not happen overnight. What techniques have you used to get up to speed in a new role? #gettinguptospeed #onboarding #learning

    "We slept in the basement for two months, listening to the whistling of bombs." - Larysa. Three years ago, life in Ukraine changed forever. Families fled with nothing, leaving behind homes, memories and loved ones. Yet, amid the devastation, hope remains. UNHCR continues to provide life-saving aid - emergency shelter, blankets, and protection. But with funding uncertainty, vulnerable people in Ukraine are at risk of losing life-saving services and support. Now is not the time to give up on the people of Ukraine.

    The humanitarian crisis in eastern DR Congo is escalating, forcing more than 20,000 people to flee into Burundi within days. Many are arriving exhausted and separated from their families. Some are taking shelter in schools and a stadium near the border, waiting for safer relocation. UNHCR and partners are on the ground, assisting with food, water and medical care, but overcrowding in transit centres is a growing concern. While we are making every effort to respond, resources are stretched. Stronger support is urgently needed. 📢 Stay informed. Support those forced to flee.
