A mixed bag - Anonymous employee Animals Asia Employee Review

The Animals Asia Leadership Team has considered this review carefully and we are sorry to hear that this employee has been unhappy with some aspects or his/her experience. We care very deeply about our entire team and have an open door policy, welcoming feedback from all employees. The strategy in China inevitably shifts through necessity, to accommodate the changing political landscape. While on the surface the campaign is less overt in the public arena, there is much work and negotiation behind the scenes, as agreed and steered by both programme and senior management staff on the ground. Yearly strategic planning meetings together with our Board and senior staff review the strengths and weaknesses of all our campaigns and steer their implementation into the next year and beyond. The closure of offices is always regrettable. Whenever we face decisions of this nature, we do so by taking into account the 600 bears we've rescued, our strategic plan and necessity to save funds, the environmental and political context, and many other factors. Our organisation understands that long-term strategies must be short-term responsive to a changing world.
