Culture and benefits

The success of the Fraunhofer IPT is largely determined by the performance of our employees. We appreciate this commitment. That is why we create a working environment for our employees that is conducive to well-being, with good framework conditions and numerous benefits.

Modern workplace

In addition to ergonomic workstations, we also ensure a modern working environment with the rest of the technical infrastructure such as laptops, smartphones and corresponding cloud applications.

Flexible working hours

A good work-life balance is the best motivation. We offer our employees flexible working hours with a regular working week of 39 hours. With our part-time models, the scope of hours can be adapted entirely to one's own needs.

Mobile work

We promote freedom and mobility. Depending on the area of deployment and requirements, we enable our employees to work flexibly on the road and in a home office.

Family and career

In order to achieve the best possible balance between career and family, we offer flexible working hours and location as well as childcare options, for example through our co-child office. Our external family service provides advice and assistance around the clock for emergency care and the care of relatives.

Continued education

We attach great importance to ensuring that our employees continue to develop and update their professional and methodological skills. To this end, we offer them an extensive range of internal and external training courses.

 

Equal opportunities & diversity

We value the uniqueness of the individual, which is why we unite different personalities and talents under our roof. For us, diversity means innovative strength, inspiration and enrichment. We promote and demand openness, equal opportunities and respect.

Health

The health of our employees is important to us. In addition to height-adjustable desks and matching chairs, our health management offers many other preventive measures and services: from medical advice to subsidised sport courses such as yoga, back fit or badminton.

 

Drinks and fruit

We provide our employees with a free supply of water and fresh fruit as well as discounted coffee specialties.

Team events

Whether department events, Christmas parties, company runs or skiing together. We also spend time together outside of work and enjoy celebrating together. This is not only fun, but also promotes cohesion.

Good connections

Our employees have access to free parking spaces as well as covered, lockable bicycle parking spaces near the institute. The institute can also be easily reached by bus, especially with our "Fraunhofer lines" 3A and 3B. This ensures a stress-free morning.

Company pension plan

Not only shaping the future, but also providing for the future: We support our employees with a company pension plan and capital-forming benefits.

 

Employee discounts

We offer our employees a wide range of attractive discounts and purchasing benefits from well-known manufacturers and service providers.
