Health management
The “business is people” philosophy is extremely important at uvex. This is why our employees’ health is paramount. It defines the personal wellbeing of each individual and is consequently the most important precondition for mastering the challenges of day-to-day professional life and for maintaining and boosting your effectiveness.
Health management at uvex comprises a broad range of measures and is consequently a key pillar of strategic human resources management. Seven components, which are closely interlinked, form and underpin our approach to health.
