Target group SMEs
Together with those responsible in the firm concerned, e.g. Health and Safety Officers
and company doctors, MediExpert designs, implements and evaluates prevention
measures in three steps: systematic medical checks like back screening, stress tests,
body fat and treadmill analysis are used to establish employees’ health status on
“MediDay”. Based on anonymized results, MediExpert then produces a tailormade multicomponent
program consisting of modules for raising awareness and promoting health.
These include measures like prevention courses for the back, relaxation and the cardiovascular
system, but also ergonomic coaching, seminars to improve stress competence,
stop-smoking courses and canteen schemes to encourage healthier eating. After implementation,
the results are scrutinized using participant polls, re-checks and absentee
analyses, and the benefit is quantified. The customer receives a detailed final report.
Of course, Gothaer also uses its expertise in company health management for its own
staff. These are investments that pay off in many ways: besides demonstrably healthier
employees and a measurable fall in sick notes in the Group, Gothaer was delighted to
receive several awards last year.
“Deutsche Gasrußwerke has been a satisfied MediExpert customer since 2005.
With the measures taken, we have succeeded in boosting staff motivation and obtaining
a measurable fall in sickness figures,”
says Dr. Hans Dieter Kahleyß, Managing Director of Deutsche Gasrußwerke in Dortmund.
SME clients benefit from this commitment, since the entire know-how finds its way into
Gothaer’s offers and steadily helps to improve the health promotion measures.
