What is workplace health promotion?

Our goals

Universität Hamburg strives to protect and foster employee health. The University’s health promotion activities are thus geared toward improving the interplay of employees, organization, and work and providing stress relief. Guided by health promotion principles, we aim to optimize conditions for work, promote healthy behavior, and enhance employee cooperation across all work areas and hierarchies.

The main idea is that qualified, motivated, and healthy employees are key to Universität Hamburg’s success and future.

Everyone can do something

Individual initiative and responsibility lie at the heart of our health promotion strategy. In addition to numerous offers and activities, the most important concern of the University’s health management policy is to provide employees with the broadest possible support on a wide range of issues.

At the beginning of each year, Universität Hamburg employees receive a print version of the Gesundheitskompass brochure, which provides an overview of all health maintenance offers at the University.

On the following pages, you will find up-to-date information on health activities and professional development offers; on the Pakt für Prävention (Prevention pact), which Universität Hamburg has joined; and on the Health Management Working Group (AKGM).
