Betriebliches Gesundheits­management: 7 Tipps für Ihr Unternehmen

Erhalten Sie 7 praktische Tipps & Empfehlungen, wie das betriebliche Gesundheitsmanagement das Wohlbefinden Ihrer Mitarbeiter fördert.

Krankenkassen, Arbeitnehmendenverbände wie auch Unternehmen beklagen mit jedem Jahr mehr erkrankte Beschäftigte. Dies ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass permanent sowohl die körperliche als auch die psychische Belastung steigt. Ursache hierfür ist unter anderem die dynamische Arbeitswelt, die den Menschen einiges abverlangt.
Ein weiterer Grund liegt außerdem in der Reizüberflutung an Informationen, beispielsweise durch soziale Medien, sowie den zunehmenden persönlichen Ängsten in einer aktuell unruhigen Welt.

Occupational health management: We have 7 tips for your company.

Employees often work at the limits of their personal capacity. Both mentally and physically, the health of employees in Germany is not at its best. This is alarming. But now for the good news: the situation can be remedied by refocusing attention on "people and health" with concrete measures in the workplace.

Companies can play an important role here. The health of employees falls under their duty of care as Employers, and employees greatly appreciate the support that comes with it. It is therefore not uncommon for occupational health management (OHM) to be used as a lever in the range of benefits available. OHM can actively help and do good in terms of the classic goals of "creating attractiveness" and "retaining employees."

We have compiled seven interesting tips for you with specific recommendations for implementation:

Tipp 1 

Occupational health management as a cornerstone of the company's foundation.

Occupational health management should be a strategic element of business management, with defined goals and clear support measures. A detailed plan for implementing various measures and monitoring them at regular intervals ensures that OHM is not treated as a marginal project out of necessity, but rather brings the necessary appreciation and attention to the attention of decision-makers and owners.

Tipp 2 

Offer a colorful range of products for individual needs.

Every company has different stress curves on its employees and their various roles and activities within the company. A wide range of offers to promote well-being and health appeal to the entire team in various areas, so that everyone can create and use a customized program for themselves. From company yoga classes to subsidized gym membership, running clubs, stress prevention, resilience building, or health checks. The range is diverse and extensive.

Tipp 3 

Ergonomics and occupational safety in the workplace.

Ein besonderes Augenmerk muss, egal an welchem Arbeitsplatz und Arbeitsort, auf die Ergonomie gelegt werden. Sei es die Wahl des richtigen Schreibtisches oder Bürostuhls oder auch die korrekte Beleuchtung. Wird hier an der falschen Stelle gespart, macht das schnell langfristig krank. 

Hier sollte jede Führungskraft wachsam sein und im persönlichen Gespräch mit den Angestellten im Austausch bleiben.

Tipp 4 

How to behave in the event of a protracted illness.

The quality of an employer is often reflected in their behavior and approach during a prolonged illness. Providing employees with supportive assistance based on partnership is sure to lead to success. Particularly in the frame of reintegration measures or flexible working models, there are many opportunities to reach a mutual consensus that protects employees as much as possible while also reintegrating them.

In times of strategic employee retention, this is an important key to success and to retaining valuable employees with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Tipp 5 

Flexible working hours and resource conservation.

Nowadays, everyone values a good work-life balance. If this balance is disrupted, dissatisfaction and stress can quickly set in. Flexible models and alternative work locations combined with modern digital tools should be considered standard practice in today's world. This is certainly not a bad investment, but rather a fundamental factor for the future of work.

Tipp 6 

Structures and processes.

Structures and processes must be designed and shaped in such a way that they do not cause illness or add to stress. This significantly promotes the physical and mental health of employees and strengthens their resilience.

Tipp 7 

Culture.

Respectful, friendly interaction and enjoyment at work, as well as lots of laughter with colleagues, are extremely important for personal well-being and motivation. Culture should always be authentic and, especially starting at the executive level, lived out honestly. Trust also plays a decisive role in this and reflects a place of well-being for the entire team.

One thing is certain: investing in human resources with care, intelligence, individuality, and passion is definitely worthwhile for companies and leads to sustainable success and satisfaction.
