HR Consultant - Global Compensation and Benefits Project
Background
The ACT Alliance Secretariat currently has 31 staff and seconded personnel located primarily in Geneva (Switzerland), Nairobi (Kenya), Bangkok (Thailand), Toronto (Canada) and Amman (Jordan) as well as in the US, UK, Ireland, El Salvador, Colombia and Belgium. The ACT Secretariat has legal presence in Switzerland, Thailand and Jordan with staff working elsewhere hosted by member organizations through Memorandums of Understanding. At present, the ACT Alliance does not have a global compensation and benefits policy nor staff rules and regulations adapted to its decentralised structure.
Scope of Consultancy
In the first half of 2022, ACT Alliance intends to undertake a review of its HR policies related to compensation and benefits in order to ensure transparent and equitable staff remuneration and working conditions across the diverse geographic locations where our staff are based. We are seeking to hire a consultant who will coordinate this process, in close collaboration with key ACT Alliance staff and using data from external C&B/salary surveys. The primary outcomes will be to establish a salary and benefits package for international staff and to establish local salary scales for our offices in Thailand and Jordan as well as a revised salary scale for our head-quarters in Geneva (where a third of our staff are contracted). A further outcome will be to revise and simplify our Staff Rules and Regulations adapted to the diverse employment locations and considering NGO sector standards and trends including new working modalities resultant of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Approach and methodology
After initial discussions with the consultancy manager, to refine the workplan, the consultant will coordinate the various processes necessary to undertake salary benchmarking using data from a specialised company (to be selected). The consultant will be given access to all relevant internal documents and data and will coordinate the process of benchmarking via the external service provider.
In parallel the consultant will lead consultations with staff and key stakeholders to ensure an inclusive process in particular with regards to job levelling, (re)defining organisational culture and working modalities. Once sufficient inputs and data have been gathered, the consultant will begin drafting revised Staff Rules and Regulations, C&B packages and salary scales for internal discussion. The final versions of these deliverables will be presented to the ACT Alliance core management team for approval before being implemented. Implementation target is July 2021.
The consultant will report to, and work closely with, the Director of Operations. Additional support may be provided by the HR officer and some selected members of the ACT Alliance Staff Representative Group, which is strongly supportive of this initiative. S/he will be expected to consult with staff and key external stakeholders (including relevant legal services and ACT member organisations).

Programme Description
ACT Alliance is the largest coalition of Protestant and Orthodox churches and church-related organisations engaged in humanitarian, development and advocacy work in the world. It consists of 138 members working together in over 120 countries to create positive and sustainable change in the lives of poor and marginalised people, regardless of their religion, politics, gender, sexual orientation, race or nationality, in keeping with the highest international codes and standards.
Gender Justice is one of the milestones identified in ACT Alliance’s current global strategy. In order to achieve this milestone, ACT created a Gender Programme whose primary objective is to enable the coalition to become a leading faith-based alliance speaking out on gender justice. Through the programme, ACT is also seeking to develop structures and processes that will deliver a strong record of results and effective programming that respond to intersecting inequalities.
The Government of Sweden, through Sida (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency), has agreed to fund ACT’s Gender Programme for a three-year period through its Strategy for Global Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Rights. Sida’s funding will be used to support the capacity of the Gender Programme and of ACT Member organisations through focus on four programmatic outcomes.

ACT Alliance’s structure is unique, with national, sub-regional and regional forums that bring local, national, regional and international church-related organisations to work together under the same principles and standards, bringing different skills and expertise to support each other and leverage collective action in humanitarian, development and advocacy engagement. Thanks to the presence of national ACT forums in over 50 countries, and of its global secretariat in several strategic locations (Geneva, New York, Nairobi, Bangkok, Amman, Brussels, Toronto and San Salvador), ACT Alliance is able to bring local and regional concerns to the global arena. Conversely, global trends and development can be transmitted to the regional and national levels using these structures.
