Following its initial certification in 2023, our university successfully completed the re-audit process. During this process, the current status of existing family-friendly measures was reviewed, and the institutionalisation of our work-life balance policy and culture was further strengthened. The focus was on information and communication, as well as leadership.
As part of the re-audit, strategic objectives and specific measures were defined and set out in a target agreement. These measures must now be implemented as required during the certificate's validity period. The practical implementation is reviewed annually by berufundfamilie Service GmbH.
Examples of measures already in place at NUM to support work-life balance include a children's room for children and their carers, the 'Gender & Diversity' project series and a Family Justice Action Day held on the Day of Repentance and Prayer.
Work is now underway on a preventive healthcare programme for all university staff, a programme to maintain contact with staff on parental leave and a staff development programme.
