NGO Global Pay

NGO Global Pay is now entering it’s 3rd year in 2013! A companion survey to NGO Local Pay tailored to the needs of the international development community, this survey covers international and headquarter roles.  NGO Global Pay is sponsored by Birches Group LLC and People In Aid.

Focused on internationally-recruited professional positions, the survey will include country and regional-level roles covering the full range of programme and operational positions found in the NGO Community, such as Country Director, Chief of Party, senior program staff, key administrative and support roles in finance, human resources, procurement and logistics, along with selected headquarters-based leadership positions including those roles with responsibilities for international operations.  Usual participants include organizations with headquarters in Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Together with the NGO Local Pay surveys, organizations now have a single source for market data for both locally- and internationally-recruited staff.  Using the Birches Group job levels in both surveys will make it simple to develop comparisons and look at pay levels using a comprehensive and consistent framework from driver right up to CEO.

Participants will have advisory input into the NGO Global Pay survey through People In Aid’s Reward Network and through a smaller, technical Advisory Group of regular participants.
