Culinary and interactive offers

The university employees have the opportunity to take part in the events during their working hours, provided this is previously discussed with their specialist superiors. Further details about the program and registration can be found on the TUC.

In a broader context, the discussion about diversity in the world of work is also promoted in other countries. Charta-der- Vielfalt.de emphasizes that diversity is viewed as an attitude for a fair, respectful and sustainable world of work. This is supplemented by reports that some American companies rethink their DEI strategies, while in Germany intensively discusses the importance of diversity.

A new step in this area is also the joining of the Arsipa Group to the Charter of Diversity e. V. This leading company in occupational safety in German -speaking countries affirms responsibility for security, health and an appreciative corporate culture, and thus underlines the importance of diversity in the world of work.
