Great mission and organization, poor HR program

Senior specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

UNICEF does tremendous work overall. Lots of smart intelligent people. Great impact and scale.

Cons

Lack of corrective action on major issues such as harassment, empowerment or negative performance based reviews, allows long term employees to stay, creating more well-paid bureaucrats! Employees are incentivized to do more of the same to not stir the pot - lack of innovation and willingness to take risk.

Business Outlook

Pros

UNICEF as a not for profit organisation is incredible, they do great work and the teams of people behind it are highly dedicated to the cause and will always go out of their way to make a really big difference.

Cons

The management in New Zealand is in real need of a shape up, poor communication and HR policies and very questionable hiring.
