What are staff say about working at ICF

  • Khunhy

    “I love most about working at ICF Cambodia is the chance to grow and develop my skills. I’ve gone from having no experience to confidently overcoming challenges. The bank savings and insurance benefits, which are rare in Cambodia, give me a sense of security, allowing me to focus on my work without worrying about the future. Whether I retire or leave, I know I’ll have financial stability and access to quality healthcare.”

  • Sombo Ros

    What I love most about working at ICF Cambodia is the opportunity to grow under great leaders who see potential in others and invest in their development. Nine years ago, I started with zero experience, but through ICF’s leadership, I’ve grown in my work, leadership, and life. One of my favorite benefits is the ICF Leadership Academy, a rare and invaluable opportunity that has helped me lead more effectively—all provided free for staff. After nine years at ICF, I’m incredibly grateful for the impact it has had on my journey.

  • Neaksen Sok

Attending the Leadership Academy, even though I’m not a team leader yet, showed me they’re investing in everyone’s future. I also appreciate the health insurance, it gives me peace of mind and lets me focus on my work.”

EXPAT STAFF

ICF Cambodia is committed to employing local staff with the goal of empowering Cambodia.

Short-term expats do not receive salary payments from ICF and are required to independently fundraise 100% of their financial support.

For the long-term development of Cambodian staff, expats play a crucial role. Their expertise, mentoring, and leadership have consistently proven to be an extremely valuable addition to the growth and strength of our local teams. Expats in key leadership positions that are here more than three years follow the same salary scale as local staff. They are responsible for raising their own support to cover insurance, savings plans, retirement, phone allowances, travel costs, and other personal expenses.

Transparency and Accountability

ICF Cambodia is audited annually by BDO. They review our compliance with Cambodian labour law and check all bookkeeping, salary handling, tax payments, seniority payments, retirement funds, insurance policies, and other mandatory contributions. This ensures accuracy, transparency, and full compliance for every payment made on behalf of our staff.
