Healthy employees for a healthy company

The health of our employees is very important to us. That is why we have developed the in-house health management system.

Human Resources Development began to promote health within the company in co-operation with the company health insurance plan in August 2004. Since then health care campaigns have been carried out annually: The motto in 2004 was “Healthy back”, with the focus on “Prevention of cardiovascular disease” in 2005, and “Stress management” in 2006, before Axel Springer AG offered its employees comprehensive skin screening in 2007 as part of the “Prevention of skin cancer” campaign. In addition there have been courses on giving up smoking as well as various special action campaigns, e.g. on precautions against intestinal cancer.

In co-operation with our subsidiary PACE, the Health management 2008 campaigns are being run under the heading of “Nutrition and Exercise”.

In addition Axel Springer AG has arranged a co-operation with a psychological consultancy: This offers anonymous, short notice, external consultation free of charge for personal, family and also occupational problems. Our external provider’s team is made up of experienced consultants, who are naturally subject to medical confidentiality. Those seeking advice are thus guaranteed anonymity from their employer.
