Pension Benefits
We think ahead with you. With an employer contribution of 60% to pension fund contributions, we already provide for your future today, so that you are well secured in retirement and your quality of life is maintained.
Location Quality
Your workplace is close to the city yet surrounded by greenery. During breaks, you breathe fresh forest air, go for a jog, or enjoy a coffee on the park bench. This makes the commute feel like a walk rather than stress.
Staff Parking & REKA Vouchers
You can reach us easily by bus, train, or car. Numerous staff parking spaces are available near the hospital at attractive conditions. Public transport instead of a car? We think that’s great and reward you with REKA vouchers with up to 20% discount.
