HOW WE INCORPORATE OUR VALUES, FEMINIST PRINCIPLES AND DECOLONIZATION

For all our Transforming Business Support Human Resources Working Groups and Core Group.

While this is our current stance, we are committed to continuous learning and improvement. We are dedicated to enhancing our understanding of integrating feminist principles and decolonization into our daily work. As we actively learn, we will update sections in this document to reflect our progress.

All Oxfam Values, Equality, Solidarity, Courage, Inclusiveness, Empowerment, and Accountability are not just words but the very fabric of how we work. People & HR TBS are key in reflecting changes required in the harmonized procedures. All TBS HR WGs will verify that any update is consistent with our values, feminist principles, and the Oxfam Code of Conduct. When considering decolonial feminist principles in practice, Gender Justice Feminist Futures Strategy might also inspire us in this exercise.

Equality: "We believe everyone has the right to be treated fairly and to have the same rights and

We believe in treating everyone fairly with equal rights and opportunities. Equity goes further by recognizing diverse circumstances and providing tailored resources to achieve equal outcomes. The principle of equity helps us achieve equality.

Decolonial Feminist Leadership:

We aim to practice leadership that is aware of power dynamics and strives for collective decision-making. This approach empowers others by sharing power and enabling individuals to make decisions.

Accountability: The working groups will enable transparency by clearly documenting all processes, including Terms of Reference (ToRs), work plans, stakeholder feedback, approval processes, and final implementation plans. This ensures that all documentation is accessible to all involved.

Inclusivity: We commit to the principle of "Nothing about Us without Us," ensuring active participation from CCRs and historically marginalized groups. While improving policies, we will balance inclusivity with efficiency to avoid overburdening CCRs. This includes ensuring diverse representation within working groups (e.g., gender, geography, ethnicity) and allowing time for translation and asynchronous participation when needed. All final outputs (e.g., policies, guides) will be made available in the four official languages, with relevant webinars conducted in those languages.

We offer:

We offer a competitive salary and a range of additional benefits to staff including flexible working options, generous pension scheme, annual leave, additional leave allowances, company sick pay, life assurance and a range of other benefits.

From the day you join Oxfam we invite you to stretch and learn in your role. Our wide range of Learning & Development opportunities includes in-house courses, e-learning modules, on-the job learning opportunities, coaching and mentoring, and much more.

Flexfam:

We believe flexible working is key to building the Oxfam of the future, so we're open to talking through the type of flexible arrangements which might work for you. We think this role would work particularly well as a partially home-based role or job share.
