8. Decent Work and Economic Growth

8.5 Proportion of employees on secure contracts


IGU regards the sustainable, fair, and stable employment of academic and administrative staff as one of its institutional priorities. In this context, all employees work under the provisions of the Labor Law of the Republic of Türkiye No. 4857, based on written employment contracts concluded between the employer and the personnel. Rights and responsibilities regarding working conditions and environment are clearly defined in these contracts; the University regularly monitors the structure of such contracts and develops policies aimed at increasing the rate of secure employment. This approach aims both to enhance employee satisfaction and to strengthen institutional continuity.

As of 2024, 72% (1.029) of the total 1.428 employees at IGU have been serving for more than one year. This figure demonstrates the University’s commitment to continuity in its employment policies and to securing employment contracts. Furthermore, the number of staff who have been employed for more than 24 months increased from 785 in 2023 to 838 in 2024, indicating that long-term employment is being strengthened at the institutional level. All employees are employed under written contracts by the Labor Law of the Republic of Türkiye No. 4857, which ensures a sustainable and stable working environment under legal protection.
