The DIfE is committed to a family-conscious and life-phase-oriented personnel policy. Since 2011, the institute has been certified by berufundfamilie Service GmbH as a family-friendly employer. To promote the compatibility of work and family, we offer our employees various options: Flexible working hours adapted to team tasks and family situations, switching from full to part time (and vice versa), and time off in times of personal crisis. Since 2015, there has been a parent-child office that can be used when there are bottlenecks in childcare.

We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities as part of a targeted employee-oriented personnel development program. These range from regular internal seminars and colloquia to targeted support for our employees in taking on new tasks and functions. We also support the expansion of foreign language skills.

The main location of the institute is very easy to reach by car via the A115 as well as by public transport. A sufficient number of free parking spaces are available on the institute's premises.
