We promote a better balance between degree programs and caregiving responsibilities through structured and predictable course organization.

We offer targeted networking opportunities for students who need to balance family and degree programs in order to promote exchange and mutual support.

Our higher education institution makes it easier for students and staff to bring their children to campus so that they can fulfill their family obligations.

We offer employees the opportunity to remain involved during their leave of absence - on a voluntary basis - thereby facilitating their return to work.

We support the health of students and employees through regular health-promoting offers, such as health days.

We create greater transparency and raise awareness among our managers of the compatibility of higher education institutions and family life in order to further develop a family-friendly management culture.

• The study and examination regulations have been amended: certified illness of children or relatives in need of care are now accepted as reasons for absence. In addition, greater flexibility has been introduced for stays abroad in order to ensure better compatibility with care responsibilities.
• As an employer, the FH Kufstein Tirol is committed to standardized leave management, integration measures for employees on leave, and the development of workplace management.
