A healthy workforce for a healthy company – Doneck Euroflex has introduced its corporate health management system (health promotion) under this motto.
Arndt Breitbach, Managing Director, was able to welcome 125 employees in glorious summer weather on the company’s premises in Grevenmacher on Friday, 8th July, 2016. The aim was to rouse the awareness of the workforce to the topic of “Health” and to introduce the in-house health promotion program. For years, the medium-sized printing ink manufacturer has already installed a program including influenza vaccination, water, and ergonomic workplaces for its employees.
The 1st Health Day started off with a group of colleagues who came to work by cycle instead of using the car. They all enjoyed a healthy fitness breakfast from 8 a.m. The breakfast was rounded off by a lecture on “Nutrition”. Six health stations were available in total, offering advice and information to the Doneck staff. Eyesight and hearing were tested. The health check-up included the measurement of blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels. E-biking was called for at the cycling station. The employees had the opportunity to obtain ergonomic advice directly at their workplace to enable the correction of posture and equipment. The staff met up with two trainers for a sporty workout. All those who were particularly ambitious could have points entered on their “Active card” after the activities, enabling them to take part in the competition with ten sports-related prizes.
“I’m delighted that so many colleagues actively took part and that the first health day was so well accepted,” comments Rita Knippel, PR Manager. “A successful event and a great start to our health promotion program” adds Arndt Breitbach, Managing Director of the Doneck Network.
