Health management
Money spent on the health and well-being of our employees is an investment in the future.
Globalization, demographic trends and changing conditions in the work environment – modern health management aims to help employees meet the challenges posed by today’s working world.
As a leading global company engaged in electronics and electrical engineering, Siemens sees committed, qualified and creative employees as the most important potential for ongoing innovation. Maintaining and promoting the health, motivation and performance of employees will secure the Company’s competitiveness in the long term. The Company needs to keep this potential on board and, at the same time, attract the best young talent.
Individuals and organization as areas of activity for health management
Siemens has responded to the changing challenges of the work environment and expanded its conventional approach to risk minimization and illness prevention. It is becoming more important to recognize and strengthen personal and organizational factors that explicitly promote health and motivation. A modern entrepreneurial view of health thus includes the physical and psychosocial resources of individuals as well as factors arising from the work environment, teamwork and management style.
Our health management activities cover five topics:
- Healthy work environment
- Psychosocial well-being
- Physical activity
- Healthy nutrition
- Medical care
Systematic approach
Siemens has responded to this holistic understanding of health by developing a global health management system in line with its occupational safety and environmental management systems. In this way we help local management to establish and improve general conditions for health promotion. In addition, the requirements are compatible with other management systems and provide scope for content-related and cultural adaptations in Sectors and Regions.
