Scheuch once again honoured for health promotion
Sixth award confirms sustained commitment to health
The Scheuch Group has once again been awarded the Austrian seal of approval for workplace health promotion (BGF) and has now received the highest recognition in this field for the sixth time in a row. The seal of approval is awarded by the Austrian Health Insurance Fund for a period of three years. It is based on clearly defined quality criteria that ensure sustainable and effective health promotion within the company.
Health and safety in the workplace have been firmly anchored in the corporate culture of the environmental technology expert Scheuch Group from Aurolzmünster for many years. Numerous measures and programmes have been permanently implemented and continuously developed. These include the Gsund und Aktiv programme with yoga, vaccination campaigns, massage services and occupational health care. ‘Regular evaluations of workplaces with regard to ergonomics make an important contribution, as do comprehensive measures to improve occupational safety,’ explains Philipp Schopp, Team Leader HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment and Quality) at the Scheuch Group.
Supporting initiatives
"During the current assessment period, Scheuch focused on three initiatives in particular. With holiday care for employees' children, we are strengthening the compatibility of work and family life. The annual Safety Days raise awareness of safe working practices and prevention. With the Social Car project, we also offer the opportunity to lease electric cars directly from the Scheuch Group at attractive conditions, thereby promoting sustainable mobility," says Stefan Scheuch, CEO of the Scheuch Group.
The offer is complemented by tutoring for apprentices, basic management training with accompanying individual coaching, and social measures such as travel allowances, Lease my Bike and a subsidised canteen.
