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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for everything you contributed during your time with Blue Ventures in Mozambique. First, I’d like to apologise for the delay in responding. We had prepared a reply earlier, but unfortunately, it did not upload successfully. It’s really encouraging to hear that you found Blue Ventures to be a flexible and supportive place to work, with a good salary and a manageable workload. We care deeply about creating a people-centred working environment, so it means a great deal to know that this was reflected in your experience. We’re also very grateful for your honest feedback on strategy and career development. While our organisational strategy remains Strategy 2030, we recognise that a strategy only has real value if colleagues feel connected to it and understand how it relates to their work. We know there is always more we can do to communicate this clearly and meaningfully across the organisation. You can read Strategy 2030 here: https://blueventures.shorthandstories.com/blue-ventures-strategy-2030/ We also understand how important career development is to colleagues' work experiences. We know there is more to do to make opportunities for growth and progression clearer, and feedback like yours helps highlight where we need to keep improving. Thank you again for sharing your perspective with us. We genuinely value feedback like this, and it helps us continue learning and improving how we support our colleagues so they can be their best selves at Blue Ventures!. With best wishes, Kevin Moyes Chief People Officer
