Updated HR Plan In 2022 we conducted an independent assessment leading to reflection, learning and understanding on motivations for retention. As a follow-up we prepared an updated HR plan for the Global Office to stimulate support for personal development and training, foster teamwork and ensure a pleasant working environment for all staff. As part of this, we set up an Employee Participation Group to facilitate two-way communications, enable ideas and innovations to be picked up and to act as an additional mechanism to ensure that staff views are taken on board by the Management Team in key decision making. Diversity In December 2022, we had a total Global Office staff of 41 people. Our staff has a diverse cultural and professional background which matches our role as an international NGO. During the year key staff ratios remained generally stable with 13 different nationalities, an average age of 47 years, and a balanced male/female ratio of 56/44. In 2022, most of our staff were educated to university level and included 8 members with highest education being PhD.

Employment contracts The average number of contracted working was 34,3 hours during the year (fulltime is 36 hours). During 2022 we employed 10 new staff members while 5 staff members left. We are in full transition to meet the needs of the Strategy and the emerging project portfolio. Of the five who left: 1 resigned for personal reasons, 3 were not a good match and 1 left on a sabbatical. Health Our total percentage of sick leave went up to 2.7%, in most cases still related to Covid. Integrity Personal safety and integrity are a priority for Wetlands International. We have policies and practices about the behaviour staff can expect from each other and we endeavour to create a safe space to share concerns or complaints as they occur. For the Global Office no official complaints were received in 2022 from staff. We continue to give attention to awareness and training on behaviour, transparency and integrity.
