Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) est une organisation internationale d’aide humanitaire qui apporte une assistance médicale dans plus de 60 pays aux populations en détresse, aux victimes de catastrophes naturelles ou d’origine humaine et aux victimes de conflits armés, sans discrimination et sans distinction d’origine, de religion, de croyance ou d’appartenance politique.
CONTEXT
The mission of the HR Development Field Support Team is to co-design, develop, support and advise field-based actors in Learning & Development. The support and advice is given on the strategic, policy, process and operative level. It focuses on securing that transversal learning & development initiatives are connected to the strategic focus areas of operations and of the HR Department and that these are transferred to and implemented in the field.
As part of the global induction and onboarding project, MSF Belgium (Operational Center Brussels – OCB) will implement a common induction & onboarding framework. The objective of the framework is to create a proper induction & onboarding path for all new staff to develop a sense of belonging as new staff and to get a better understanding of our social mission, key principles, values and structure which will increase motivation and commitment. As well as accelerate staff integration in MSF and increase job efficiency to benefit our social mission.
Part of the framework is the intersectional induction training “Welcome to MSF” for all new staff (target public about 3000 people based on 2019 numbers of new national staff, international and office staff). The training package has been developed and is ready to implement virtual and face to face but will need extra support at the start to launch and help all missions, offices to implement.
