Diakonie Erzgebirge: On the way to the 2024 health award

Health and employee satisfaction are the focus of Diakonie Erzgebirge

Diakonie Erzgebirge is continuing its efforts to ensure the health and satisfaction of its employees this year. With a clear focus on improving internal communication and a supportive leadership culture, the organization wants to ensure that employees are empowered both physically and mentally. These measures are particularly important in order to meet the ever-increasing demands in the workplace.

Partnership with AOK PLUS

“Our strategic collaboration with AOK PLUS is an expression of our commitment to the health of our employees,” explains Prof. Dr. Volker Weber, Chairman of the Diakonie Erzgebirge. He emphasizes the need to remain a reliable employer in the region. The positive response to the health activities offered and the increasing number of participants confirm the effectiveness of these initiatives. In order to work more specifically on psychological stress, Diakonie is planning a comprehensive survey. The aim is to identify and avoid potential threats at an early stage.

Competition for the health award

The successes in the area of ​​health promotion motivated Diakonie Erzgebirge to apply for the health award from the professional associations for health services and welfare. This prize is awarded to facilities that have made outstanding contributions to the well-being of their employees, particularly in the care of the elderly. "We made it to the final round and are optimistic. Now it's time to keep our fingers crossed! The winners will be announced in November at the German Nursing Day 2024," says Weber, enthusiastic about the prospect of an award.

The role of employees

A central concern of Diakonie Erzgebirge is to include the voices of employees in the processes. The planned surveys on psychological stress are in line with the approach of creating a working environment that focuses not only on the physical but also the psychological needs of the workforce. This initiative puts employees first and promotes a health-conscious working atmosphere.

Conclusion

Diakonie Erzgebirge's ongoing efforts to improve the health and satisfaction of its employees underline the importance of support systems in the working environment. A clear strategy and a partnership-based approach not only strengthens employee loyalty, but also promotes a positive working environment. The organization proves that workplace health is an ongoing process that strengthens both the individual and the community as a whole.
