    Ensures the lead in knowledge management of networking and representation initiatives, including within the MSF Eastern Africa Section.

    MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS

    Contribute to the development of MSF representation and diplomacy objectives in support of MSF operations, utilising the regional viewpoint.
    Develop and implement the strategies to deliver relevant messages to key interlocutors to East and Central African based entities and dialogue partners.
    Provide MSF with information, analysis and advise on relevant regional issues.

    Stay abreast of the medical and humanitarian challenges faced by the populations in assigned contexts.
    Support the Operational Centres, in co-operation with other HRT members and other advocacy units, to develop coherent MSF messages on the salient humanitarian concerns encountered in the field, and develop the strategies needed to pursue these issues in regional platforms.

    Rewards Review Staff Engagement Advisor

    uration: 18 month contract
    Reporting to: International HR Coordinator
    Contract: Full-time position 
    Starting date: ASAP
    * By default, the successful candidate will be offered a contract in the MSF office of their country of residence at the time of application
    1. Background
    Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is a leading international independent medical humanitarian organization, dedicated to providing expert medical care to vulnerable populations at times of armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare. In over 70 countries worldwide, MSF provides both life-saving emergency care and longer-term assistance to make basic healthcare services available to the most vulnerable or excluded communities. MSF’s aim is to provide impartial assistance, on the basis of need alone, regardless of ethnic origin, gender, creed or political affiliation.
    MSF is in the process of reviewing tangible rewards for our global workforce, recognising that existing policies and practices do not match our ambition for a diverse global workforce and do not fully support our evolving operational and organisational needs. In 2020, the MSF workforce was composed of more than 62.000 individuals working in our programmes as locally recruited or internationally mobile staff and in our headquarter offices.
     
    This rewards review process will lead to the development of concrete deliverables including: a new contracting and reward packages strategy; a framework that defines the principles that inform our rewards; minimum standards for pay and benefits; and a common system for grading HQ and field positions. These deliverables involve developing new policies that will require significant changes in our HR practices. As such it essential that there is timely and adequate staff engagement in their design.
    2. Place in the organisation
    The post holder will be a member of the International HR (IHR) Team, which is part of MSF International. MSF International is the legal entity that binds MSF’s operational centres, sections, associations and other offices together.

    3. Overall purpose
    Staff awareness of and involvement in the Rewards Review process is a considered as key to achieving the aim “to develop a new rewards framework for the whole MSF global workforce that enables us to better meet our operational needs. This framework will be consistent, transparent and adapted to the diversity of our workforce and will contribute to MSF becoming a more equitable, just and global organisation.” With more than 62,000 staff, we need a robust, strategic approach to equitably and effectively engage with our diverse workforce.
    The Rewards Review Staff Engagement Advisor will be responsible for the design and implementation of a staff engagement strategy that produces relevant staff input in the Rewards Review process, exploring explicit and implicit staff needs and expectations and generating insights that will inform our policy choices. It will require developing creative and innovative engagement tools and appropriate channels for staff to express their needs and expectations for this process.
