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
measures 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.’
Karl Weiss, staff manager in a manufacturing plant
Harnessing good health
to boost your company’s success
Helsana supports companies and their employees in promoting health in
the workplace, absence and generation management. Our health managers 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.
Good health – a major success factor for
companies
The working world is becoming ever more challenging. 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
often not taken seriously soon enough and alongside 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 comprehensive 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 situation 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 management programme based on the size, sector and
needs of your company.
Managing health at work forms part of the strategy 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 managing 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.

Benefits of workplace health promotion
Raising awareness
Investing in promoting workplace health management 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’ attitude to health. This in turn lowers health-related
costs for the company, for example by cutting
down on absences.
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 programme will be presented and the opportunities
and potential stumbling blocks when introducing
such a programme will be shown.
Health management as a process
Analysis
Health managers will support the company in carrying 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 identified
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.
Different analysis tools will be available depending 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.»
Heinz Gutmann, member of the management board of a consulting company
