At a glance

In the field of social work, working conditions have changed for the worse in recent years due to demographic change, the resulting shortage of skilled labour and fiscal austerity measures. In addition, people who aspire to work in the field of social work have an increased risk of burnout due to their personality structure.

It is therefore very important for social organisations of all kinds to keep their employees healthy and able to work for as long as possible through occupational health management.

The aim of the seminar is therefore to provide an introduction to the importance, instruments and methods, players, structure and financing of occupational health management.

Focal points:

  • The right to health at work as a principle of the WHO (Luxembourg Declaration).
  • What is occupational health management?
  • Methods, instruments and legal regulations in connection with occupational health management.

  • Financial support from the state and health insurance funds.
