Support for GPEEC implementation

ADC SA (Aéroports du Cameroun) has entrusted Forhom by Egis with a support and technical assistance mission to set up and implement a strategic workforce planning approach.

This support was divided into 3 phases:

A 5-day start-up mission on site

• Present the planned intervention strategy and the method used.
• Present the main lines of the detailed action plan and the work to be carried out by the project team.
• Carry out an operational audit of the existing system: analysis of the context, the issues at stake, the classification grid already in place, by means of interviews to be scheduled and the analysis of any documents supplied by ADC SA, in particular the list of Benchmark Jobs already in existence.

A 5-day training session for ADC project stakeholders in Yaoundé.

• During this 4-day training-action, the consultant carried out a training session to familiarize them with the approach. During this training, an initial update of the CDR was carried out on a sample of workstations.
