2.3 WORK TASK 3: PROVISION OF INTEGRATION AND CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT
Please refer to the diagram below for CTBTO’s Human Resource Solution Architecture:
Figure 1: Schematic representation of TMS and integration with current tools
2.3.1 INTEGRATION
INTEGRATION WITH SAP-HR (Core HCMS) CTBTO uses SAP-HR module as the core Human Resource Management System for the administration and management of its human resources. It is a single instance system, located in Geneva with remote access to the system. Inbound Interface into TMS from SAP-HR The Contractor shall create an inbound interface will be required to import all CTBTO employee master data and other relevant HR master data like position & organizational information into the TMS. There will be 2 modes of running this interface:
Scheduled daily job that will send only the delta changes made in SAP-HR for the day On-demand job that will be sent ad hoc from SAP-HR for urgent data transfer
CTBTO will use SAP’s IDOC (Intermediate Document) Interface to create the XML input file to be fed into the inbound interface of TMS. Outbound interface from TMS into SAP-HR The Contractor shall create an outbound interface will be needed to extract the data from TMS into a SAP table structure. This is triggered by a recruiter action to transfer data into SAP. The XML or CSV output file will be read by SAP-HR to populate the SAP table.
Terms of Reference
Human Capital Management Suite
Page 10 of 10 10/11/2016
Remote Function Call to SAP Aside from the interface the Contractor shall create ability to read data from SAP using web services is needed. The on-boarding module is expected to populate and generate offer letters to candidates, which include salary and entitlement information based on UN-specific criteria. The salary, benefits and entitlements tables are stored in SAP. Contractor will build a web service to SAP-HR that extracts the relevant data specific to the candidate. This web service is expected to be consumed by the TMS. CTBTO requires both synchronous and asynchronous connection. INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SYSTEMS Integration with Moodle CTBTO conducts all e-Test & e-Quiz assessments through Moodle - Open-source learning platform (www.moodle.org). It is necessary to be able to gather the results of those tests and store/link them to candidates in e-Recruitment module. Integration with SONRU Analog to MOODLE CTBTO conducts video assessments through SONRU (https://www.sonru.com). It is necessary to be able to gather the SONRU videos and link them to candidates in e-Recruitment module. Integration with In-house developed systems CTBTO has some in-house web based developments (f.e. HCM Reporting for Net Vacancy Rate). CTBTO expects the integration of these portlets in the Contractor’s portal environment (single sign on). Integration with e-Learning System CTBTO is in the process of implementing a web based Learning Management System. It will be required to integrate this system in:
a) On-boarding module - to show the new staff members the basics (like f.e. Policies, Rules and Regulations, guidelines about working and living in Vienna, UNO City etc.)
b) Performance Management module - to access and complete courses agreed in CTBTO’s appraisal of the performance form and when completing one’s learning/development review. The learning catalogue is also needed when planning for one’s learning/development objectives.
The Contractor shall deliver the TMS solution with streamlined master data management across all modules as set out above. The TMS will have only one database for all the products, not separate multiple databases per module, which will require data interfaces within the suite.

A table of mandatory requirements for each module can be found at the beginning of each sub section of Annex 1 (TMS Evaluation Template), leading into the overview of business processes.
3.1.1 e-Recruitment Thus far, CTBTO recruitment activities have been limited through the old e-Recruitment system In general, the old e-Recruitment system:
Has undergone minor improvement since initial implementation Underlays Alfresco XML design which substantively influence the performance Is poorly integrated, proprietary software without integration into the SAP environment that lacks
the key functionalities needed to conduct and manage recruitment process Is not well suited to support the dynamic nature of CTBTO operations
In the meantime CTBTO has implemented SAP ERP solution containing, among other, Human Capital Management (HCM) module - which represents CTBTO’s Human Capital Management master system. The primary objectives of human capital management are as follows:
Shorten the throughput of recruiting processes Reduce administrative burden and manual work Improve workflows, automate processes and reduce recruitment time Improve quality of candidate screening High sophisticated roster for retaining the knowledge from prior screenings Set up solid basis for performance management Integrate all Talent management suite with SAP Gaining efficiency and effectiveness, where CTBTO is seeking to reduce the current costs of
processing transactions and maintaining records through better process and integrated systems Managing risk by improving the current paper based processes to protect against loss as a result
of disaster, human error, etc. Transforming HR from a transaction processing organization to a strategic partner focused on
CTBTO talent. CTBTO seeks an electronic system to support the attraction, identification, selection, deployment and management of candidates. Broadly, a successful e-Recruitment / applicant tracking system will satisfy the following criteria:
The recruitment system will serve to recruit candidates external to CTBTO but will also in interconnection with SAP HCM, be used to manage the mobility of current staff members. It will thus need to have robust candidate selection functionality as well as be a tool to manage talents, with linkages between the two.
CTBTO seeks a system that can easily be integrated in our current and future HR technological landscape
CTBTO seeks a system with built-in flexibility and customization to be able to support different recruitment processes and staffing mechanisms through innovative activities, correspondences, templates and questionnaires with a view to increase efficiency. This includes CTBTO-specific corporate review of appointments and management approval process.
The system therefore needs to be able to support the various roles in the selection process, each with their own level of access and activities
CTBTO needs to gather information from external candidates that are specific to the UN system (for example, nationality, gender and age). Furthermore, the system needs to be able to contain a number of attributes of internal staff which have a bearing on their mobility (location, level, entry

into post, etc.). This will also require an interface, integration and periodic transfer of data between e-Recruitment module CTBTO’s SAP R/3’s HR modules.
Generally there are 3 different employment types by CTBTO:

Fixed Term Appointment (FTA) Professional Staff
General Staff
Short Term Appointment (STA) Professional Staff

Temporary Appointment (TA)
Temporary Appointment
Consultancy
Internship
Cost free expert In terms of recruitment of staff in CTBTO: The recruitment of staff is done by the Division of Human Resources, based in CTBTO’s Vienna Headquarters. On yearly basis CTBTO recruits:
Approximately 50 FTA staff Approximately 40 STA staff Approximately 200-300 temporary appointments
CTBTO uses questionnaires in the context of candidate selection and for other talent relationship activities. Questionnaires like e-Test, e-Quiz (MOODLE) and SONRU are used as screening tools to help in the shortlisting and assessment of candidates. Such screening questionnaires can be comprised of simple yes/no answers, with scales and expected replies or more complex technical questionnaires designed to evaluate the expertise of a candidate (multiple choice questions, scenarios, answer-dependent questions). CTBTO will require content management capability for use in creating such questionnaires. This should enable CTBTO to easily modify fields, text, headers and other content. Experience has shown that editing content and visual of a questionnaire is too often limiting
3.1.2 Applicant Roster and Talent Groups Talent groups are considered and composed of eligible candidates who have undergone a competitive selection and assessment process and have been deemed to be generally qualified and available for appointment to a position. All candidates who are classified as “well qualified” and “qualified” and have successfully passed the interview will be included into the Roster in one or more Talent Groups. Talent groups are organized by functional areas and levels. CTBTO currently does not have a Roster policy for applicants. Therefore it is necessary to implement a very generic roster capable to host candidates and offers many opportunities for storing different attributes as well as searching mechanisms. Current Roster hosts approximately 50 Talent Groups and
Terms of Reference
Human Capital Management Suite
Page 18 of 18 10/11/2016
around 300 candidates including non-staff contractors and consultants. These candidates will be periodically removed from roster after a certain period of time.
3.1.3 Onboarding The new electronic on-boarding system should provide a single global system for electronic on-boarding of all staff categories (FTA, STA, TA), replacing the current paper-based system. It should be flexible, customizable and forward-looking to anticipate and accommodate CTBTO’s evolving needs In brief:
It should be able to provide the candidate with general information (videos or write-ups) on CTBTO, and specific information on the duty station living (such as current living conditions information, CTBTO Regulations and Rules, etc.). It should have the capacity to introduce the Human Resources (HR) Assistant/Officer who is handling the new hire’s onboarding to the team/programme the candidate will be joining
The system will allow new hires to complete, generate, and print required online forms, with many
fields pre-filled from existing CTBTO systems data, and to include electronic signatures. New hires will also be able to upload PDF documents to complete their profile.
The system will accommodate varied users at different steps of the process, including staff from
human resources, payroll and travel.
The system will have flexible workflow & exceptions management to accommodate highly variable onboarding conditions
The Onboarding system will fully integrate necessary data from the CTBTO HR information
technology infrastructure, which includes electronic recruiting, position funding and records; and will trigger action items from varied departments involved in the process, including human resources staff, travel services and local managers.
The system will provide analytics & reporting capabilities, to alert managers due tasks, to monitor
KPIs and user feedback.
3.1.4 Performance Management The current paper based system is outdated and needs to be automated with a suitable and efficient electronic performance management system. Requirements for such system will be detailed and expanded in subsequent documents, below is an outline of the most relevant and critical updated business requirements:
Comprehensive, internet-based performance management system aligned with the current paper based form that should require no additional training and should be easy-to-learn and easy-to-use by line managers and staff
A competency-based tool with a phased approach to performance management where current
and new staff have the system available throughout the year to complete performance phases Excellent data and graphical reporting so that users have access to real-time data and
management teams can easily and quickly report not only on performance compliance individually and based on their team(s), but also on performance trends by grade level,

competency, office/ Division/team, etc. A 180 and 360 degree feedback function available to all staff with inputs on competencies and
work outputs by both internal and external providers A system with the capability to integrate with SAP-HCM module (that is the master HR data
system in CTBTO), and possibility of integrating with e-Recruitment and On-boarding modules Ability to integrate multiple user categories (i.e. end user, administrator/s, super-users) to access
relevant information in a secure way Availability of end-user materials and tips (i.e. Objectives Appraisal tutorials) for easy navigation
and suitable Objectives Appraisal evaluation completion Minimal manual data entry to enhance data quality and timeliness of reporting on trends relating
to performance management A system with the ability to import and retain data from the existing CTBTO performance
management system to maintain all performance management-related data in a single system and for reporting purposes
3.1.5 Career and Skill Development CTBTO’s career & skills development currently consists mostly of a set of tools to guide learning and development of staff members. CTBTO aims to get a fully integrated tool to support career & skills development. Some core features we are considering:
Ability to create a comprehensive and integrated career plan that can link to competencies, skills, positions etc. The career plan should relate to annual learning plans and/or individual learning initiatives.
Ability to provide access to guided learning and development opportunities—supported by the creation of curricula and indexing of learning opportunities against competencies
Ability for staff members to compare themselves (current job and/or current competencies) with defined standard job descriptions (for which skills and competencies are defined).
Ability to have competency & skill assessment information imported from the Performance Management module. It would be best if competencies are not assessed only against the staff member’s current position.
Exchange of information related to competency gaps (from Performance Appraisal module) A unique Learning Plan tool used to capture personal learning objectives, career goals, learning
related performance gaps and compliance training.
3.1.6 Workforce Planning and Analytics Workforce planning and analytics processes in CTBTO are currently manual and semi-automated through Excel and Access tables. This module should have the ability to analytically anticipate and predict the possible shortage in certain skills or skill areas in order to plan and mitigate the risks for CTBTO. Moving forward, the organization is interested in tools and functionalities that are able to leverage the data collected throughout the suite. Data should be easily and effectively visualized through reports (standard & custom,) and dashboards—and easily exported to a variety of formats (i.e. Web-based, ASCII, PDF and Excel). In short, Contractors should demonstrate the full range of planning and analytical tools that enhance the value proposition of the modules and total offering. CTBTO will take into consideration how the platform is able to incorporate data from both internal (e.g. HR suite database,
Terms of Reference
Human Capital Management Suite
Page 20 of 20 10/11/2016
intranet, internal developed systems, SAP R/3,) and external sources to help identify trends, run descriptive / predictive analytics, track risks and manage talent pools. Explore what types of decisions these tools can support, and also what key business questions and performance indicators the organization can address with functionalities. Crucially, CTBTO will need to understand the manner in which there reports and analytical tools can be administered, configured and executed.
