Work-Life Balance & Health

We believe true work-life balance is more than just being able to juggle personal life and a job or career. At the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, our goal is to give you the freedom to design your work flexibly and according to your individual life circumstances. After all, a balanced living situation is critical if a person is to live up to their full potential, enjoy what they do and work creatively. Your wellbeing is important to us — ultimately, your personal success is our collective success.

Our vision of good work-life balance extends far beyond the conventional concepts. We are passionate about ensuring that our employees can shape their own working worlds flexibly and individually. We believe that our employees can only bring out their full strengths and live up to their potential with motivation and drive if their environment is a harmonious one.

Change also means taking on responsibility. At Fraunhofer, our responsibility for our employees goes beyond the workplace itself. For this reason, we offer flexible working models such as flextime or part-time work as well as organizational simplification measures — for example, in the form of remote working.

Our people are the best and brightest, and we also support them at times when personal matters require more attention than work. That is why we also offer individual options and support from pme-Familienservice.
