Project Context and Scope
IOM Regional Office for MENA seeks to engage with a Workplace Culture and Diversity Inclusion Consultant to enhance organizational effectiveness by fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse work environment. Given the unique cultural dynamics within the MENA region, promoting diversity and inclusion is critical for attracting and retaining talent from diverse backgrounds, enhancing team collaboration, and ensuring all employees feel valued and respected.
Furthermore, “equality, diversity and inclusion” is positioned as one of four cross-cutting priorities for IOM’s Strategic Plan for 2024-2028. In 2024, IOM published its updated Gender Equality Policy, which is underpinned by three principles, namely, equality and non-discrimination, equitable approaches, and diversity and intersectionality. IOM Regional Offices are tasked with taking the lead in operationalizing “equality, diversity and inclusion” in their respective regions and mainstreaming it into both operational and management work areas by providing necessary technical support to IOM Country Offices (COs) in coordination with the Gender Diversity Unit (GDU) of IOM HQ as required.
This engagement would enable the office to assess current practices, identify gaps, and provide tailored recommendations that align with regional and global diversity goals.
Moreover, diversity and inclusion initiatives have been proven to increase overall employee satisfaction, reduce turnover, and improve the organization's ability to respond to the needs of its stakeholders, including governments, communities, migrants and partners. By addressing these areas, the consultant will play a pivotal role in helping the MENA office to lead by example within the organization, setting the stage for an inclusive and equitable workplace culture that drives organizational growth and success.
Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing
