We believe that by building a strong culture of engagement and support and by investing in leadership development, we empower our staff to do their best work.

Our Approach

We know our people are central to realising CNV’s vision of gender and social equity in a violence-free world. To achieve this and to strengthen our organisation as resilient, supportive, and effective, we are committed to building an inclusive, safe, and people-centred environment where staff can thrive.

Two of our key programs to achieve this are:

Our Leadership Program which provides staff at all levels regular opportunities to consider, and develop their Leadership Capabilities.

Our People Strategy which outlines our plan to continue to build an inclusive, safe and people centred environment, where staff thrive. The strategy focusses on three key themes, identified by staff as the most effective way to enhance the staff experience, and strengthen culture:

  1. Thriving workforce -​ Attract, develop, promote and retain highly skilled people
  2. Ethical and values driven – ​Create an inclusive, safe and people centred culture
  3. Simplified and sustainable – Build meaningful, effective and impactful operations

What sets us apart

Our unwavering commitment to respect, integrity and courage, the same values that guide our work with beneficiaries and community. We foster a culture of genuine support where every voice is valued, diversity is celebrated and psychological safety is foundational. We empower our people to lead with authenticity, take initiative and make meaningful contributions within a culture of trust, where they feel safe to speak openly, embrace challenges and bring their whole selves to work. Wellbeing is embedded into every aspect of employee experience, creating a workplace where individuals feel respected, connected and confident to grow.
