Our Human Resources Strategy 2017 – 2019

Professional, international, mobile and cooperative – these are the ultimate goals of our new Human Resources (HR) Strategy, which was adopted in 2017. The strategy sets our course for HR work in the future. The first measures have already been implemented, with a view to making field assignments more attractive and thus improving the company’s ability to deliver. The HR Strategy is part of the company’s Corporate Strategy and works on three levels: the expectations of commissioning parties are weighed against the needs of GIZ as a company and the wishes of staff, and an equitable balance is found.
