Dear IREXer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your experience at IREX. We're thrilled to learn that you enjoy the atmosphere at our Jordan office and recognize the many learning opportunities that IREX provides. Creating a positive and supportive work environment is our priority, and we continuously strive to ensure our employees feel supported. Our goal is to attract and retain talent to advance the mission of IREX. As such, we conducted a comprehensive compensation survey in January 2023 using recent market data of peer organizations in Jordan, from which a competitive pay scale was formulated. We are a donor-funded development organization, and our donors expect us to be judicious in the use of funds provided for project implementation. We will continue to assess staff compensation to attract and retain great talent at IREX. If you feel that your HR needs are not being met, we ask that you contact your regional generalist in Jordan. We also ask that you attend the monthly all-staff meetings for optimal communication with HQ. You are a valued member of the team, and we thank you for your feedback. Best wishes, The HR Team

Pros

Flexibility for expectant parents and parents of young children.

Cons

A few years ago, the organization spoke boldly about empowering youth and championing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Yet over the past 18 months, it has quietly erased every reference to those commitments from its mission, values, and strategic focus. In a bid to align with the current administration, the organization has shifted its focus to artificial intelligence (AI), and its leadership team now reflects the administration's priorities. It presents as very inauthentic when it mutes the equity-driven efforts it once claimed were central to its identity.
