Company health management – We are more than just a workplace!
For us, workplace health management (WHM) isn’t just a buzzword – it’s an integral part of our corporate culture. We developed our first WHM concept in collaboration with AOK Lower Saxony, with a clear goal: to improve our employees’ health, boost team satisfaction and foster a positive working atmosphere in the long term. We can only achieve this together!
We listen to our employees and act on their interests
Since 2014, an interdisciplinary steering group has been working to further develop our initiatives – with input from senior management, HR, trainee representatives, health and safety officers, and colleagues from all departments. That is why, together with our internal WHM steering group, we invest in smart, varied and meaningful programmes for body and mind. The occupational health management steering group consists of employees from various departments and continuously plans, reviews and develops our occupational health management programme.
We are convinced that only those who feel good can work effectively – with energy, enthusiasm and team spirit.

Our workplace health and wellbeing programme grows with each and every one of you
Our goal is clear: our workplace health and wellbeing programme isn’t a static concept, but one that evolves alongside us – through regular evaluation and new ideas coming directly from the team.
It thrives on participation and dialogue – whether you’re a trainee, a technician or a developer. Our philosophy is:
You should feel comfortable not only professionally, but also on a personal level.
