In 2021, GIZ employed just under 25,000 people worldwide - approximately 17,000 of them being national employees in the various partner countries. GIZ was active in 120 countries worldwide and, in addition to its Bonn and Eschborn headquarters, was also active at six other locations in Germany. GIZ provides services worldwide in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. The diverse expertise of the federal enterprise is in demand around the globe, with the German Government, European Union institutions, the United Nations and governments of other countries all benefiting from our services. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is the main commissioning party, but GIZ works also with the private sector, fostering successful interaction between development policy and foreign trade and cooperate with a large scale of various partner organizations. GIZ country offices are required to conduct regular remuneration benchmarking surveys, for reasons of efficiency, compliance and ability to deliver. Remuneration benchmarking surveys guide GIZ offices in defining GIZ"s national salary policies to determine the market customaryness of GIZ compensation in the country (compliance), securing GIZ not to pay above the market (efficiency) nor offer an unattractive package (ability to deliver as expressed in attracting new talents and maintaining the existing workforce). Where available for the country, country offices should commission remuneration benchmarking surveys compiled by specialized remuneration consultings or other suitable providers.
