Life-phase-conscious personnel policy

Improving the sustainable employability of employees in primary and secondary education is a current theme. Every employee at a primary school has the right to spend 40 hours of working time annually on sustainable employability. In secondary education, each teacher is given access to 90 hours each year that can be used for various purposes.
