Organisation Culture and Working Culture

Flexible working time models and the extensive facilitations for working remotely offer room to manoeuvre for individual private situations. TU Darmstadt values family-friendly working and meeting/committee times. This is supplemented by the broad range of programmes offered by the department of Human Resources and Organisational Development (POE), which take a critical look at the culture of respectful cooperation and promote the competences and potentials of all employees and staff. Management Guidelines, which were developed in a participatory procedure, guide the actions of the senior managers at TU Darmstadt. They embrace diversity as an opportunity to ensure gender equity and use the different points of view, experiences, and cultures to drive creativity and innovation. “Ensuring interaction on equal terms involves establishing an equal and cooperative team culture that is free of discrimination or prejudice”. In addition to extensive in-house training programmes, POE offers leadership and organisational development and coaching for all employees and staff as well as a Dual Career Service. This assists the partners of newly appointed professors in achieving their own professional objectives and career aspirations in the Rhine-Main area.
