HENN receives seal for workplace health promotion.

Once again, HENN has received a distinction which shows how important the well-being of our employees is to us: the seal of quality for workplace health promotion (BGF).

An ergonomic desk and matching office chair are good, but it takes more to create a good working environment. With HENN’s Gym, the running group and the healthy food selection in HENN’s Kitchen, as well as the offerings for further education at HENN Academy, we fulfill the requirements for the BGF seal awarded by the ÖGK (Austrian Public Health Insurance).

"Workplace health promotion is a win/win situation for everyone involved," said Julia Schwarz, Head of People & Culture, in taking stock of the situation. "This applies for employees and companies alike. Doctor visits and sick leave decreases, and performance & satisfaction at the workplace increase. Greater health means higher quality of life." Executive Director Martin Ohneberg argues that, "Workplace health promotion increases the attractiveness of the employer to employees. This is because they are increasingly choosing companies which offer more than just a good salary—like opportunities for further and continuing education and health measures."
