RECRUITING LOCAL TALENT
Supporting Local Economies
We aim to leave a lasting impact in the communities where we work, to build national capacity and promote local economic growth. 92% of our staff nationals of our countries of operation and we pride ourselves in being a local employer. By improving access to decent work in fragile and conflict-affected countries, we aim to unite people for a shared purpose and prosperous future.
CREATING AN INCLUSIVE, REWARDING AND SAFE WORKPLACE
At CTG we strive to create inclusive, safe and rewarding workplaces for all staff, regardless of gender or other characteristics.
HOW WE DO IT
LEADERSHIP TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
We’re developing national capacity through skills development and training. Our CTG Learning platform offers our staff access to learning opportunities that broaden their skills, grow their careers, and ensure their safety in the field. Part of the respected e-learning platform Kaya, developed by The Humanitarian Leadership Academy, CTG Learning offers a catalogue of courses developed by leading humanitarian and development organisations, ranging from security awareness to gender equality in humanitarian contexts. CTG Learning also prepares new staff for deployment with the mandatory Onboarding Pass course.

DUTY OF CARE
Political unrest, terrorism, and medical emergencies are some of the risks CTG staff may face. We are committed to staff safety, providing a comprehensive Duty of Care offering, including world-class emergency medical response and crisis management. Our holistic approach includes reliable high risk insurance, SafeTrip tracking and monitoring of in-country staff. Additionally, it features a robust onboarding process which includes security briefings and Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT).
HUMAN RIGHTS
At CTG, putting people first is a core value that drives our commitment to respecting human rights. These standards are outlined in our Human Rights Policy and our Code of Conduct, and align with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. They also reaffirm our commitment to supporting internationally recognised human rights, including fundamental labour principles.
WEPs
CTG has publicly committed to the Women’s Empowerment Principles, a UN-led initiative helping businesses empower women in the workplace, marketplace and community. CTG CEO Alice Laugher founded and Chaired the UAE Taskforce for Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) in 2017. While serving, she pioneered efforts to sign up 62 companies to the WEPs in the UAE, and a further 16 companies in Somalia.
CTG will continue advocating for the WEPs within the business communities of the fragile and conflict-affected countries where we operate. To find out more about the WEPs and to join the movement, press here.
