Invest in your most valuable resource: your workforce.
In times when the shortage of skilled workers, competition and cost pressure are increasing, the health and performance of the workforce is increasingly coming under the spotlight. This is because uncertainty and work intensification often lead to increased stress and workloads, which has an increasingly negative impact on absenteeism and productivity.
Against this backdrop, corporate health management is becoming increasingly important as a success factor.

- Increased employee identification and employer branding are other positive side effects in the competition for the best talent.
