As COVID-19 spread around the world, PSI rapidly adapted implementation approaches to maintain programs and ensure the continuity of services while keeping our clients, communities and staff safe. To document and share lessons learned with the implementation community, from May to November 2020, Research for Scalable Solutions (R4S) had supported the systematic documentation of program adaptations implemented within five of PSI’s family planning (FP) programs in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and India. This series of briefs highlights the impact of PSI’s adaptations across High Impact Practice in FP areas, with some local variations, including: social behavior change, service delivery, and enabling environment, for safely maintaining continuity of FP programs during the pandemic.

OUR COMMITMENTS

The Future of Work

With overarching commitments to flexibility in our work, and greater wellbeing for our employees, we want to ensure PSI is positioned for success with a global and holistic view of talent. Under our new “work from (almost) anywhere,” or “WFAA” philosophy, we are making the necessary investments to be an employer of record in more than half of U.S. states, and consider the U.S. as one single labor market for salary purposes. Globally, we recognize the need to compete for talent everywhere; we maintain a talent center in Nairobi and a mini-hub in Abidjan. PSI also already works with our Dutch-based European partner, PSI Europe, and we’re creating a virtual talent center in the UK.
