Working at the DPZ
Job and Family
The German Primate Center has greatly improved the conditions for employees with families and was consequently awarded the certificate berufundfamilie by the federal ministry for family affairs in November 2010. This included the obligation to further boost the efforts to provide good conditions for the combination of family and work and also regularly document these efforts. The non-profit organization berufundfamilie gGmbH was founded by the Hertie Stiftung and supports the DPZ actively in our aim to faciliate and improve equal opportunities and the reconciliation of work and family life. The obligation to support this compatibility is a binding component of the management task for all managers at the DPZ.
Day Nursery
Since September 2011, The DPZ finances two daycare spots for children of employees between the ages of six months and three years at the "Stresemäuse" day-care center in Göttingen.
