Improved efficiency
Significant steps were taken - with the input of a consultant from War Child UK - towards the choice of a new Human Resource Information System (HRIS).
Recruitment and Retention
We launched several initiatives to improve our processes for the recruitment of new staff over the course of 2017.
Organisational structure
Two major internal restructurings took place during 2017. The first months of the year saw the creation of a new Marketing, Communications and Fundraising (MCF) department.
Consultants, interns and volunteers
Self-employed consultants continue to contribute to our mission when additional support is required. 45 consultants were hired over the course of 2017, both on a short-term and long-term basis.
Employee engagement
Another wide-ranging employee survey for head office staff was completed over the course of 2017. The survey was undertaken in partnership with HR benchmarking institute Great Place to Work.
