Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I am glad you were happy about the workplace and location but sorry to read about potential resourcing challenges and office politics. It would be great to understand a bit more about this so we can build learning into our plans. If you would be happy to discuss this with me then please contact the People Team to arrange a call. Best wishes, Kevin Moyes - Chief People Officer.

Pros

Incredibly inspiring colleagues from across the globe, working on a great mission. With the right attitude, you can progress, take ownership of projects, and get amazing travel opportunities. Salaries (once passed entry level) are not too bad

Cons

Some real internal comms issues - people leave the organisation all the time, often with no notice and no explanation - creates uncertainty and mistrust. Upper management is not reflective of global organisation and makes rash decisions. Currently bad morale in the org.

Thank you for your feedback and positive comments. We do recognise the impact of growth and change on our colleagues and as you know, last year and this year has seen a big focus on people and culture in BV (as per our new people strategy) with lots of positive changes coming through. We also plan to develop a more diverse internal communication and plan to deliver more improvements in this area. If you would like to discuss your feedback with us then please do reach out to the People Team, I am happy to meet if you would prefer to speak to me. Best wishes, Kevin (Director of People and Culture).

Pros

- Great mission: protecting our oceans through community-led conservation - Friendly, engaged, and fun colleagues from all over the world who are passionate about the mission - get to work with people based in other countries on a daily basis - Opportunities to travel with work - Committed to being an inclusive and equitable organisation, evidenced by initiatives such as the women's network, and women in leadership programmes - Great opportunities to develop through training, online courses, stretch opportunities, free coaching and a yearly mentoring programme - I had a brilliant manager who trusted me, gave me autonomy and practised compassionate leadership - Is getting better at managing change - Great winter and summer social events to build team solidarity and have fun

Cons

Just the usual challenges around working in a remote/hybrid setting. BV is doing more than most organisations to deal with these challenges.

Thank you for your feedback, I am pleased you had such a positive and enriching experience at BV. We are doing more intentional work around the hybrid/remote working piece to ensure colleagues are engaged, connected and have good wellbeing. We are also doing more to develop our people manager training and embedding compassionate leadership principles and practices across BV. Best wishes, Kevin Moyes - Chief People Officer.
