Get ready for the professional challenges of demographic changes
‘Our employees feel better than ever.
With the help of Helsana and an employee
survey we were able to evaluate pressure
within our company and take concrete
meas ures to reduce them. This improved
the productivity and the motivation of the
employees and reduced sick days. We
are now better prepared to cope with the
challenges of demographic changes.’
Helsana supports companies and their employees in promoting health in the workplace, absence and generation management. Our health manag-ers will accompany you through three phases – from raising awareness to analysis and on to concrete measures to improve well-being, reduce absences and improve success.
Harnessing good health
to boost your company’s success
Good health – a major success factor for companies
The working world is becoming ever more chal-lenging. Time pressure, information overload, competition and social changes place more and more demands on employees. This leads to an increase in sick days and the consequences thereof. Early psychosomatic warning signals such as depression and stress-related back pain are oft en not taken seriously soon enough and along-side occupational accidents and illnesses can lead to long-term time away from work. This does not only place a burden on social services but also on companies. Act now and you can improve your chances of coping with demographic changes as well.
In the future, a company’s success will be based on the good health of its employees. Therefore a com-prehensive health management programme should form part of your management strategy. Employees are shown early on ways of optimising their work and personal surroundings. Their working situa-tion will be improved in such a way that they stay healthy too.
Helsana will support you with a comprehensive workplace health management programme and will provide you with your own health manager, who will tailor-make you a workplace health man-agement programme based on the size, sector and needs of your company.
Managing health at work forms part of the strat-egy of today’s companies, with the aim of reducing workplace absences and improving employee health, well-being, performance and motivation. It includes all kinds of measures from both employers and employees to improve health and well-being in the workplace. Successfully man-aging health at work is done by combining improvements within workplace organisation and conditions, encouraging employees to take part in the process and by encouraging personal skills.

Benefi ts of workplace health promotion
Investing in promoting workplace health manage-ment pays dividends in the long term. Promoting health provides the chance to increase employee motivation and performance and thus guarantee and even increase productivity. Workplace health management can help reduce workplace stresses and strains, along with improving employees’ atti-tude to health. This in turn lowers health-related costs for the company, for example by cutting down on absences.
Health management as a process
Raising awareness
As a fi rst step, Helsana will raise awareness amongst company management. Basic links between work and health will be demonstrated, the content of the workplace health management pro-gramme will be presented and the opportunities and potential stumbling blocks when introducing such a programme will be shown.
Analysis
Health managers will support the company in car-rying out a comprehensive analysis. The results will show the resources and pressures within the company. This means you can recognise where the health management programme needs to be implemented most.
The results of the analysis will be worked on with the employees. Health pressures will be identifi ed and measures will be jointly drawn up to reduce these pressures or to avoid them completely. With Helsana Business Health, passive bystanders are turned into active participants.
Diff erent analysis tools will be available depend-ing on the size of your company and the focus points.
«Thanks to the Helsana workshop attended
by our employees, we realised with greater
clarity that we should place a stronger
emphasis on health.
We found this external
input very valuable.»
