Oxfam employs more than six thousand people in 90 countries who share a commitment to work together to end poverty and suffering. It is committed to ensure diversity and gender equality within the organization and welcomes applications from women, person with disability and under-represented groups. Oxfam does not discriminate against applicants or employees based on their HIV/AIDS status. The organization has been working in Bangladesh since the War of Independence and has established a permanent country office in 1972. Since then it has responded to all major emergencies in the country. Oxfam’s current program focuses on Economic Justice & Resilience, Gender and Women’s Leadership and Humanitarian Capacity Building and Response.

A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can stop poverty and suffering in their tracks. More than 8,000 people already commit their time and talents to our humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.

Oxfam in Bangladesh is looking for a qualified Consultant or a Consultancy Firm for “Conducting Workload Analysis, Job Evaluation, and Compensation analysis.” We are inviting for proposal from interested consultancy firm / individual to undertake this assignment.

Background:

Oxfam senior management felt the need for Workload Analysis and review of Job Descriptions considering the challenges faced in quality of deliverables, delays in delivering services, feedback received from different staff forums, and town hall meetings. Oxfam in Bangladesh Management believes this detailed analysis will help implement programs to achieve strategic directions through an efficient and motivated workforce.

Oxfam in Bangladesh (OiB) last conducted compensation and benefit market surveys in 2021, which resulted in the partial revision of the benefits structure in line with the market. Still, this revision did not meet the expectations. Challenges are also faced in recruiting competent Staff due lack of competitive offers. Given the movement in the compensation and benefits field since the last revision, OiB now wishes to initiate a salary and benefits survey to ascertain whether their national staff salaries and benefits are market competitive, to be reviewed as necessary. Market competitive remuneration will motivate employee performance, attract and retain quality individuals, and maintain salary equity among employees, reducing unnecessary attrition rates.

Objective:

Oxfam is undergoing a massive change globally. The new strategy of Oxfam highlights localization and decolonization as key focus areas. We are intentionally reducing the size of our operations and trying innovative ways of ensuring efficiency and a maximum reach of work to the marginalized communities. Bangladesh country office is not immune to these change processes. However, we would like this assignment will help us manage this transformation with minimum challenges.
