Workplace health promotion has long since been common practice in many companies. Health management has found its way into corporate strategies and principles in line with the growing significance of health. The "Move Europe" initiative sees itself as the missing boost to publicise the available examples of good practice and help to disseminate them. Your company, too, still has the possibility of becoming a "Move Europe Company".
- Step I: Company Health Check
You can complete our questionnaire for the "Company Health Check" online, click here. On the basis of the questions, yourself assess the quality of the workplace health promotion measures in your company or your organisation. Companies which are particularly health-promoting are invited to join the campaign as "Move Europe Company".
- Step II: Models of Good Practice
As a selected "Move Europe Company", you receive our Best Practice questionnaire. It gives you the opportunity of presenting your concept of workplace health promotion in detail. The concepts (submitted) are assessed by an expert team/jury. The Best Practice questionnaire will be available in next future.
- Step III: final Conference
Model companies from all over Europe will be invited to a conference in Perugia in April 2009 to show examples of best practice and to share their experiences with the other participants.
Exploit your advantages to compete
Workplace health promotion geared to sustainability produces winners on all sides. The employees not only benefit from their improved state of health but the company as well. In the long term the sickness rate falls and therefore the number of absenteeism days. The motivation of the workers increases if their sense of well-being is improved. The greater willingness to be more flexible has a positive impact on productivity. Companies with healthy employees have verifiably a higher creativity and innovation potential. And last but not least, the positive working environment also radiates outwards and results in satisfied and loyal customers. Today, companies are also being increasingly judged by social standards. With a clear commitment to workplace health promotion, companies and organisations confirm that they are facing up to their social responsibility.
"Move Europe Companies" position themselves in the public eye as innovative, sustainable and committed to the European project. The campaign is flanked by comprehensive PR work, which you profit from.
- Presence on the Internet
All companies domiciled in Germany which bear the "Move Europe Partner" title are presented at Move Europe-Website (only in German). In the section "Move Europe-Partner" we present the companies and its activities in the field of health promotion in more detail. The relevant logo is given prominence.
