Culture of fear and disorder - Anonymous employee VSO Employee Review

Thanks for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed working with colleagues in our programme teams and appreciate VSO's approach of volunteering for development, working with the communities, and demonstrating the localisation agenda. We are very sorry to hear you felt there was a culture of bullying behaviour. We take all allegations around bullying extremely seriously and investigate these allegations in line with our Harassment, Bullying and Intimidation Prevention policy. We also have several channels for reporting these incidents to ensure we quickly respond and address these issues. We continue to support managers through a range of coaching, mentoring and more formalised training. We take wellbeing and mental health support very seriously and have a range of support systems in place, from our in-house medical team to an assistance programme for our staff and volunteers.
