Role Overview
The Rewards Review aims to develop a new rewards framework for the whole MSF global workforce, enabling us to better meet operational needs. MSF's executive leadership (the Full ExCom) agreed on changes to create a rewards system that provides more equity, transparency, and consistency. This will better enable MSF to nurture an increasingly diverse workforce with the right balance of skills for today's operational needs and tomorrow's humanitarian challenges.
The Full ExCom also confirmed the responsibility of all members to implement collective decisions on the Rewards Review consistently. All entities must contribute to staff engagement, development, implementation planning, and communication to ensure this.
At MSF USA, the Engagement Specialist will be responsible for coordinating this work and acting as the focal point for Rewards Review. This will involve actively participating in working groups, developing surveys and other content such as the Global Grading Framework and Minimum Standards. During key decision-making moments for the project, the Engagement Specialist will engage with several stakeholders in MSF USA, including the Director of International HR, the Chief People Culture and Inclusion Officer, the Executive Director, and the Rewards Review project management team.
