1/23/2024 12:17:3110Impact / focus on making a difference, The colleagues, The work itself is satisfyingI think everyone in FWI is generally approachable. I think there are enough channels and communication to showcase progress, goals, and ideas with the work that we do. Poor project management / organization, Lack of training / mentorship, Feeling of low job securityWorking with legally-sensitive and time-sensitive matters, I think it makes me anxious sometimes about the ambiguity of timelines and plans. I think low job security is something that comes usually with working in nonprofits. An active virtual office9Top 1 being the most likely
1. A fall out with my manager or someone I work closely with
2. Drastic culture shift into the unhealthy side (high bureaucracy, high inefficiency, hard to move around)
3. Feeling bored/burnt out with no motivation to improve

Understanding the work-life balance requirements of individual staffs and filling gaps for each other, i.e., collaboration for reducing fish sufferings and not merely focusing on respective roles and responsibilities.

2. We should strive to become close to realism and not actually practice realism in terms of every decision making and transparency because it is not possible to achieve in real world. Even if we are able to manage our organization with limited information without denying anyone access to information is more effective than what we are doing currently. I am not saying our present approach is imperfect. I just want us to be open to other ideas as well. 		81. Lack of collaboration among staffs to fulfill the gaps created in exigencies because we are not looking beyond our documented roles and responsibilities.

2. Another reason would be work-life balance expectations (however, this is just for me and need not to be generalized).		The survey is useful and gives an opportunity to speak ourselves without the fear of getting judged. Thank you for this.

I could only mention that more access to training and development opportunities would be great.9My role in India would become less and less important or regarding work-life balance. Though I think that internationally, we have a lots of work to do.

1/30/2024 10:00:497Impact / focus on making a difference, Feedback culture, The colleaguesI also value the acknowledgment we receive in the animal world for our commitment to achieving the ultimate goal and the transparent organizational culture. These, along with the previously mentioned three things, are among the aspects I appreciate most about working at FWI.Rushing decisions / projects, Poor team-wide communication / collaboration, Not catering to unique skills/work stylesI think this could be a sub-set of the "poor project management / organization" but the sudden changes to a pre-discussed schedule could be a challenge for us in the long run. Additionally, there is a need to optimize the last-minute rush to meet KRs for long-term efficiency (I could be wrong in this case!).If we can incorporate the best learnings from other stakeholders into our projects, that could be a plus. Though the intentions of different stakeholders could be different from ours we can always mold those according to our ultimate goal of reducing the fish pain and suffering. 8Uncertainty and sudden changes in decision makingThe good thing about the survey format- it was simple and inclusive.

Regarding working at FWI-
1) If we could better utilize the employees' potential to the max, it would be helpful for the org.
2) Try out new experiments/small projects if we get a chance to do it without/minimum additional financial cost.
3) Compulsory in-person quarterly meetings (once in every quarter for atleast one day) in Vijayawada/Eluru/Rajah/Nellore (one location every quarter) to break silos among the managers and the ground staffs of different departments.

1/30/2024 11:07:327Support on self-development, Autonomy, Manager supportPoor team-wide communication / collaboration, Uncertainty of impactThe only thing that comes to mind right now is better planning for cross-team collaboration. I would like the timelines to be communicated clearly and in advance of the expected completion date. This is not a major issue at the moment (at least in my experience), but it's happened a couple of times for me to mention it. I do understand that it is sometimes expected when working in an organization of this nature. 7Uncertainty of impact

1/30/2024 13:05:016Autonomy, Manager support, Support on self-developmentMy role has been changing fairly frequently and with every change some the the autonomy I enjoyed is being taken away. I also feel less trusted overall even though my performance in most aspects of my work was good. Not catering to unique skills/work styles, Location requirement, Lack of training / mentorship1. Being trusted more in areas I have a proven track record.
2. Having more autonomy. 		81. A job offer that gives me more autonomy.
2. An opportunity to work with management that is more understanding and collaborative. 		1. FWI is the best organization I worked for.
2. We need to train all our managers to be more supportive. Currently, some of them are supportive and others have a lot to learn.

A lot of our work is so novel that these hiccups are bound to happen. More training on the project management and different tools and apps to work more efficiently. More communication with other teams and sharing updates and learnings. 9Hard to answer this but, I think if the project/s are stopped for any reason for e.g., due to lack of immediate/short-term impact or if we are reluctant to pursue new strategies and ways to help fishes (seems quite unlikely) . n/a

1/31/2024 21:57:497Impact / focus on making a difference, Flexibility, The colleaguesRushing decisions / projects, Uncertainty of impact, Feeling of low job securityI'm happy with the present condition.7Sometimes I get a feeling like I'm getting stagnant and not really learning new things because of the monotonous kind of work we do and not able to upskill myself to be relevant to the changes happening in the development sector.

Location preference might also be a factor after a couple of years, considering my life stage and family commitments I might need to move to a bigger city in the next 1-2 years.		Of all the previous culture surveys, I liked this one better. I liked the way the questions are framed. I guess majority of the credit goes to Tom for this!

Expand towards east godavari and amalapuram where IMC is predominant and can help more fishes instead of investing a lot on experiments and research where there is no success for the last 2 years.

For example the satellite study is informed only within a short notice and we didn't had enough time to communicate it to the farmers properly.
