Human Resources Internship at International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). The current IFRC Onboarding program requires redesign and redevelopment to ensure relevance to needs, a strong introduction to IFRC and the Movement, as applicable, as well as alignment with Strategy 2030. It needs to strike a balance between providing the appropriate information and resources to new staff, including information to help adjust to a new professional setting and new living conditions.

The Office of the Secretary-General (OSG) requested the Human Resources Management Department (HRMD) to revise the current program to capture the above criteria.

Responsibilities

As a starting point, IFRC will map, document, and revise existing onboarding approaches, needs, and resources. This Internship will be dedicated to the aforementioned activities. The Internship will consist in:

• Mapping the current Geneva and Regional onboarding programs, through conducting interviews with stakeholders.
• Benchmarking best onboarding practices in other humanitarian organizations.
• Revising and documenting the current roles and approaches of Departments/Regions in onboarding staff to identify gaps.
• Organize interviews with the relevant stakeholders to identify what information needs to be shared with staff joining at all levels.
• Supporting the design of the IFRC onboarding program for new or moving staff.
