Toxic Culture Led by Fear, Control, and Misuse of Power
Pros
Being able to hand in my resignation
Cons
World Vision UK has become a deeply toxic workplace where fear and insecurity dictate the culture. Leadership is ineffective, with constant redundancies and restructures creating instability. The HR team fails to address serious concerns, allowing microaggressions to thrive. Trust is nonexistent, and leadership weaponizes faith—using scripture and prayer to justify poor decisions and silence dissent. Healthy challenge and original thinking are not valued; leadership only wants yes-men who won’t question their approach. The CEO abuses their position, having staff take part in activities unrelated to the charity’s mission—such as a world record attempt for MK Food Bank, where she is a trustee, and using World Vision offices for her church services. Under the current leadership, I can’t see the organisation lasting another five years. If you value integrity, fairness, and a supportive work environment, I’d strongly advise looking elsewhere.
