Prevention programmes at the German locations Corporate health promotion offered numerous health measures in 2022, both online and on-site, thus encouraging both German and international employees to adopt a health-conscious lifestyle. In 2022, around 4,500 employees took part in our activities focusing on exercise, ergonomics, stress management and nutrition. GRI 403-6 Digital health assistant for a better work–health balance In our endeavour to create the most healthy working conditions possible, we are always on the lookout for innovative approaches. With the increase in remote working, it is very important to us to promote the health of our employees both when they are working in the office and from home in equal measure. If you sit in front of your computer for hours every day, you usually experience tension, headaches or back pains. In addition to these short-term symptoms, an inactive lifestyle is also associated with numerous common diseases, such as those of the cardiovascular and metabolic systems. Following a pilot project, we have therefore entered into a partnership with the high-tech start-up ‘Deep Care’ from Ludwigsburg. This team has developed a digital health coach, ‘ISA’, which helps people learn healthy work routines. In the first six months of our cooperation, 105 employees were able to reflect on their daily routines and practise healthy habits during a six-week ‘ISA’ coaching session. ‘Ergonomics in the workplace’ pilot project at the Rohrbach location In January 2022, just over 80 logistics employees started a pilot project on the topic of ergonomics in the workplace. The aim was to provide balance through an active, health-promoting weekly exercise session and, at the same time, enable an improvement of the musculoskeletal system of each participant. After a measurement of mobility at the beginning of the project, a twelve-week individual exercise programme was carried out by qualified specialists in the respective departments. In June 2022, after taking the final mobility measurements, we concluded that many participants had improved their range of motion. As a result, the mobility exercise breaks were permanently integrated into everyday working life. Heart health action weeks Diseases of the circulatory system are the most common cause of death in Germany. Due to this important topic, various preventive measures were offered to Festo employees at the Esslingen and Rohrbach locations to coincide with the annual World Heart Day on 29 September. In addition to our existing programme, there were numerous other face-to-face and online prevention offers, which employees could sign up for. The promotional weeks were complemented by a special daily meal in the canteens. 6.6 Holistic health promotion The digital health assistant for learning healthy work routines Photo: Deep Care GmbH Relief is a central topic of occupational health promotion wherever physical work is carried out – such as here at the Rohrbach plant. 102 103 Festo SE & Co.
