Many suggestions and numerous conversations

At the Health Day on Oct. 30, 2019, the focus was on colleagues and their needs and interests at KMB. Work was "hard" and over 20 areas of need were identified. But loosely based on Gandhi, change demands initiative. Thus, we are pleased to have received almost 100 tips, experiences, and suggestions on how KIT employees shape and improve their working life on a daily basis.

The evaluation of the contributions will be published on this page soon.

Announcement: Health day at KIT 30.10.2019

We at KMB contribute to making people with their needs, abilities, and individual commitment more central to the working world at KIT. At the Health Day, we are happy to take your input and wishes and get into conversation with you on site about topics such as trusting cooperation, more consideration for each other, open communication and appreciative interaction.


According to the quote of Mahatma Gandhi "Be yourself the change you want to see in this world." we want to know how you actively shape and improve KIT. We know about many good examples and role models of our colleagues. We want to offer them a platform to encourage imitation. We invite you to contribute your part to the cooperative and collegial interaction at KIT.


We are documenting the collected suggestions from the Health Day on a sustainable basis on this website and are continuing the campaign online. So that you can keep adding new ideas for our togetherness at KIT in the future.


At the same time, KMB is also dedicated to concerns whose solutions are not yet apparent. We also see ourselves as contact persons and implementers, whenever human needs and problems are concerned. Please contact us!


We are looking forward to lively exchange and inspiring encounters with people at the center of KIT!
