Family Friendliness

The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut is committed to providing its employees a family-friendly workplace. By means of various proposals and individual arrangements, the institute provides both, female and male colleagues, the best benefits possible to support a healthy, balanced work and private life, such as

• individual work options for employees with little children or other family responsibilities, by e.g. flexible working hours (part-time, flexible time-program ...)
  
  
• human resources development by re-entry agreements, advanced vocational training during or after maternity and parental leave
  
  
• help with child care vacancies by offering a "children’s room". FBH has equipped a special playroom for children with a computer, books and various games. An additional computer enables parents to work whilst their children read or play. FBH also cooperates with the "Kinderhotel Kinderzeit" (www.kinderzeit-jederzeit.de), which offers very flexible child care (Mo - Su, day and night).
  
  
• supplementary service for families by offering advisory service and assistance to find appropriate child-care offers near the institute
  
  
• consideration of double-career couples
