Pros

Very islamic and culturally friendly environment Understanding and flexible manager Hardworking and dedicated field staff

Cons

- Very discouraging to work for an organisation that could do so much, but prefer to appeal to the uninformed donors - management is poor. The people at the very top don’t know what they’re doing or where they’re going. the organisation lacks direction and identity. - no upwards opportunity, especially for women. There are no female directors and only one female in semi senior position in the organisation. There’s a lot of misogyny and policing of women’s dress and behaviour. - nepotism and corruption runs deep.

Thank you for your comments. Islamic Relief has a long ranging ten year strategy which has been formulated to chart the path to where the organisation wants to be by the end of the decade. This includes having a more diverse and inclusive workforce that speaks to both rightsholders and donors. There are policies in place to prevent corruption at all levels and we investigate any allegations that may arise and take the appropriate actions in accordance with those policies.
