at the University Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine

Work-life balance

Keeping career and family compatible for our employees is a challenge in a 24-hour operation, 365 days a year. Of course, we want to face it. The University Hospital of Tübingen is a member of the Family Success Factor Network. Through family-friendly structures, we want to offer attractive working and training conditions in the future as well. We have set ourselves ambitious goals for this.

More than 500 different working time models, combined with a wide range of working hours, enable our employees to achieve a high degree of flexibility and compensation.


What we want to achieve

  • Employees with family responsibilities should stay at the clinic.
  • Enabling and facilitating your return.
  • Attract new employees with family responsibilities.

Modern working time management enables us to react quickly and transparently to family-related time requirements.
