Occupational Health Management

The holistic occupational health management aims to promote and maintain the well-being of all our employees.

In partnership with Techniker Krankenkasse, our health management integrates key areas including occupational safety, ergonomics, occupational integration management, healthy nutrition, social interaction and respectful leadership. We focus on both workplace conditions and individual awareness, offering preventive and corrective measures tailored to our institute’s needs.

We are committed to fostering a healthy and supportive work environment. We believe that a strong, collaborative team is essential for driving innovative science, and we continuously strive to provide the best conditions for that.
