Compatibility of work and private life
WIAS pursues a sustainable family- and life-phase-conscious personnel policy in order to enable its employees to successfully reconcile work, family and private life.
We support our employees in achieving their professional and private goals through measures such as the possibility of mobile work and flexible working hours. Because only when our employees are in an overall balanced life situation can they freely develop their talents. Another goal of the Institute is to increase its attractiveness as an employer in the international competition for the smartest minds, especially among young scientists.
Certified by the audit berufundfamilie
The reconciliation of work and private life at WIAS was certified by the audit berufundfamilie for the first time in 2013 and reaffirmed every three years thereafter. In March 2023, after the fourth audit of berufundfamilie, WIAS was awarded the certificate with distinction, in special recognition of its long-standing, sustainable family- and life-phase-conscious personnel policy.
