If illness takes you away from working life for an extended period, the BEM is there to guide you: it helps you find your way back into working life step by step – with your well-being in mind and a focus on the future.
Under Section 167(2) of SGB IX, the university will invite you to take part if you have been unable to work for more than six weeks within a year. The invitation is sent in writing and acts as a gateway to a confidential discussion – tailored entirely to your needs. If you wish, representatives from relevant support organisations can also be present when we discuss together: What do you need to be able to work again with energy and confidence? What support can the university or external organisations offer to help you maintain your health?
The BEM is a service, not an obligation – and it is always voluntary. You decide whether you would like to take this path with us. And if you have any questions: we are here for you. Email: bem(at)
Further information is available in leaflet.
