Fundamental issues and ministerial tasks in labor market policy, management of job centers, team.arbeit.hamburg

Policy departments shape the strategic direction of the administration. They advise on overarching issues, support regulations, and develop concepts for future developments.

Detailed description

Fundamental questions form the basis for many decisions implemented within the administration. The responsible departments are not responsible for processing individual applications or day-to-day tasks. They develop concepts for how the administration should operate in the future and what goals it should pursue. Political decisions, long-term developments, and exchanges with other authorities also play a role in this process.



You can contact the relevant authority if, for example, you

  • as an employee of the administration, you may need support in clarifying overarching regulations or interpreting rules.
  • as a manager who wants to prepare strategic decisions or establish new processes.
  • as a political decision-maker, you may need a professional assessment or a concept for the further development of a topic area.
  • as a representative of the public, an association or an organization, who wishes to provide or request input or statements on fundamental developments.
