The introduction of new employees is very important to us. To ensure a good start, there is an induction day Welcome@TU Graz and a welcome brochure with the most important information. A get-together with the rectorate is organised for new professors.

TU Graz offers employees a needs-oriented, in-house training programme on the following topics:

• Working at TU Graz
• Work safety
• Workplace health promotion
• Data processing
• Finance
• Research
• Foreign languages
• Management tasks
• Intercultural competence
• Internationalisation – individual support measures
• Teaching
• Training for student assistants

This one-to-one meeting with between employees and managers is an opportunity to discuss the previous year, future aims, career development and teamwork. Furthermore, employees and managers can give each other feedback and discuss topics for which there is often little time during day-to-day work. Such discussions make it easier to work together.  

In the framework of the TU Graz mentoring programme, experienced TU Graz scientists pass on their knowledge to young scientists and new professors.

Employees have the opportunity to take part in a survey, actively giving feedback and thus helping to shape the development of TU Graz. The results contribute to the further development and improvement of TU Graz: concrete improvement measures are derived from the information and implemented at the university.

TU Graz hosts and organizes various courses, workshops and action days for its employees, which serve to maintain and promote mental and physical health and have a positive impact on well-being.

In addition, regular preventive check-ups, chair massages and consultations are offered.

In May, TU Graz organizes an annual health week with a health day to encourage employees to promote their health in everyday life.

TU Graz actively promotes a culture of diversity and appreciation. The university wants every individual to feel accepted and to be able to develop their potential – this way they are able to contribute to innovation, teaching and research. Diversity in research leads to new discoveries and, as a consequence, to new teaching material.

See Childcare

All employees and students at TU Graz who become parents are given a welcome package by TU Graz.

TU Graz provides comprehensive advice and information for family carers. At a regular, virtual "carers' get-together", those affected and interested are given the opportunity to discuss other everyday challenges, complicated administrative procedures, resilience strategies and much more after a brief specialist input. For acute situations, there is a personalised, individual coaching service available on request.

Employees and students receive information on lectures and workshops on different topics related to development and parenting as well as on caring for relatives.

TU Graz wants to employ an equal number of women and men, involving both in research and teaching. The Office for Gender Equality and Equal Opportunity supports the university in achieving this by implementing numerous measures, particularly with the aim of increasing the proportion of women at TU Graz.
