CHM IN PRACTICE
Numerous tools and resources are available to support the implementation of Corporate Health Management.
What are the goals of CHM?
The aim of corporate health management is to improve the personal health of all employees, promote their performance, and prevent work-related illnesses and accidents. Corporate health management also aims to increase employee commitment and loyalty to the company, improve the working atmosphere, and thus reduce staff turnover and absenteeism. Systematic, holistic corporate health management can contribute to the success of a company.
Why is CHM worthwhile?
Healthy, motivated employees are the key to success. Corporate health management helps organizations actively promote the health, performance, and safety of their employees—with measurable benefits:
-
Higher satisfaction and motivation
-
Increased productivity and performance quality
-
Fewer absences and lower turnover
-
Attractiveness as an employer
-
Better working atmosphere and public image
-
Contribution to social responsibility
Employers and health – do they go together?
Yes! Working conditions affect well-being and performance. Sustainable Corporate Health Management reduces stress and supports employees in staying healthy. Companies benefit from loyal, high-performing teams and reduced absenteeism.
How effective are CHM measures?
Even small adjustments such as ergonomic workplaces, flexible working hours or opportunities for participation have been proven to improve the behavior and well-being of employees.
Why are CHM measures effective?
Furthermore, it is scientifically proven that a balance between burdens (e.g., stress, conflicts) and resources (e.g., participation, good working conditions) is needed, as these directly influence health and motivation – and thus also fluctuation, absences, and productivity.
Making the benefits of CHM visible
The added value can be easily demonstrated, for example, using the impact model of the Foundation Health Promotion Switzerland to show the connections between measures and business success.
