The Hamburg University of Music and Drama has now been awarded the family-friendly university audit certificate for the third time in a row. The certificate is awarded by the Board of Trustees of berufundfamilie Service GmbH as a seal of quality for a strategically designed family and life-phase-conscious personnel policy. The HfMT received this award for the first time in 2014.

The prerequisite for the current certification is the successful completion of the re-auditing process, in which the degree of penetration of the existing family-friendly measures already implemented was examined. Reviews were used to examine the framework and culture of the compatibility policy, to reflect the results to the university management and to develop specific solutions in areas where there was a need for action through targeted in-depth analysis.
As part of the re-audit, not only strategic goals but also specific measures were defined, which are set out in a target agreement. These must now be implemented as required during the following three-year certification period. The practical implementation will be reviewed annually by berufundfamilie Service GmbH.
The measures already in place at the HfMT to reconcile work, family and private life include the consolidation of a permanent children's group, a babysitting allowance for students that can be applied for individually and other measures that make it easier to reconcile studies, work and family life. Among other things, work is now underway to further develop the approaches and measures for structuring working conditions (adjustments to the scope and location of working hours, flexibility in the place of work) and to optimize the range of information available and the transparency of contact persons.
