GTZ's employees are the most important factor in ensuring its success. Maintaining and promoting their health has therefore been a top priority for many years. In view of the particular nature of the assignments and locations throughout the world, health hazards are sometimes unavoidable. The company recognises this fact and meets its responsibilities and obligations with respect to the welfare of its employees.

We provide various services designed to ensure the well-being of our staff. Apart from standard occupational safety and health care measures, advisory services on optimising team-based work flows and on reconciling the competing demands of work and family life also play an important role.

Within the company, various actors work together to improve and extend the services available. For example, flu vaccinations and other preventive measures are offered on a regular basis. New health courses are continually being added, and, in the event of crises or emergencies, experts are available by telephone around the clock. The company also offers child care services and advice on looking after relatives.
