Family and career

Evonik has a family-focused corporate policy. This is documented by the corporate agreement on combining work with raising a family and the Group-wide "berufundfamilie" certificate awarded by the non-profit Hertie Foundation.

Evonik offers employees a wide range of measures, ranging from flexible worktime models and childcare concepts for small children through vacation and exchange programs for school students to support in finding carers for sick and elderly relatives.

The new Global Expat Policy adopted at the start of 2011 sets out the framework for all international assignments. If employees are transferred for more than six months, Evonik assumes the cost of relocating their families and supports the employee’s partner in employment-related activities.
