Einheitliche Ansprechstelle für Arbeitgeber (EAA) München

What Einheitliche Ansprechstelle für Arbeitgeber (EAA) München does

Einheitliche Ansprechstelle für Arbeitgeber (EAA) München is a publicly funded, free consulting service that advises Bavarian employers on hiring, training, and retaining employees with disabilities. It is part of EAA Bayern, a statewide network of 12 regional contact points (covering all Bavarian postal codes) coordinated by LAG IFD Bayern e.V., the legally registered umbrella association. The service was established in January 2022 and is commissioned by the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs (StMAS), with operational funding channeled through the ZBFS Inklusionsamt. Access is via a free hotline (0800 90 40 001), the postal-code office finder on www.eaa-bayern.de, in-person regional visits, online Sprechstunde sessions on Microsoft Teams, and a recurring program of webinars, workshops, and Infotreffs.

Core service lines are: (1) Arbeitgeberberatung (employer consulting on hiring and workplace inclusion), (2) Lotsenfunktion (navigation through the complex landscape of disability funding and support agencies), (3) Antragstellung (application support for subsidies and adaptations), (4) Einstellungsprozess (hiring process support, including candidate matching), (5) Ausbildung sichern (training support for severely disabled trainees), (6) Arbeitsverhältnisse begleiten (ongoing post-hiring support via Integrationsfachdienst), and (7) Veranstaltungen (events). The flagship event is the annual Fachforum der EAA Bayern, with the 4th edition in 2025 attracting over 400 in-person participants plus online viewers; a 5th edition is scheduled for 2026 in Regensburg.

The organization is a non-profit registered association (eingetragener Verein), not a technology company. No commercial revenue is generated; all consulting, application support, and event services are provided free of charge to employers. The technology footprint is limited to standard productivity and communications tools (Microsoft Teams, Webex, YouTube embeds, OpenStreetMap, self-hosted Matomo analytics). It is staffed by approximately 8 people across leadership and event coordination, supported by a larger regional consultant network. There are no venture funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no equity ownership; the entity is governed as a public-benefit network under non-profit law.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Zentrum Bayern Familie und Soziales (ZBFS): ZBFS is the Bavarian state agency that operates the Inklusionsamt (Inclusion Office) and provides the funding pipeline that EAA Bayern depends on. It shares the disability inclusion mandate at the state level, making it a direct institutional peer and the principal upstream collaborator for workplace adaptation support.
• Bundesagentur für Arbeit: Germany's federal employment agency is one of EAA Bayern's core partners, providing employment services and disability-related funding via its regional directorate. It serves the same employers and beneficiaries but with a much broader mandate across all labor market segments, positioning it as the dominant incumbent EAA collaborates with rather than competes against.

Direct peers

• Integrationsfachdienste Bayern (LAG IFD Bayern e.V.): Operated by the same parent organization (LAG IFD Bayern e.V.) that coordinates EAA Bayern, the Integrationsfachdienste provide ongoing workplace support to people with severe disabilities — the complementary service line that picks up where EAA consulting ends. Functionally and structurally inseparable peer operating in the same employer-disability space.
• Aktion Mensch: Aktion Mensch is Germany's largest private disability inclusion organization and publishes the Inklusionsbarometer Arbeit, which formally recognized EAA Bayern in 2023. Aktion Mensch runs employer-facing inclusion programs and grant-making at a national scale, overlapping directly with EAA's mission of supporting employer disability engagement.
• BIH (Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Integrationsämter und Hauptfürsorgestellen): BIH is the national umbrella organization for Germany's integration offices and operates the nationwide EAA network of which EAA Bayern is one node. BIH participates in the same podcast series as EAA Bayern and provides the national referral backbone, making it the most functionally comparable peer at the federal level.

Emerging players

• Inklusionsmatch (Soinno GmbH): A digital platform for inclusion management featured at EAA Bayern's Fachforum. Soinno is building an emerging software-mediated alternative to traditional consulting workflows in disability employment, positioning it as a tech-enabled emerging player intersecting with EAA's employer-facing advisory scope.
