Social responsibility The health of our employees is of utmost importance to us. Alongside our health and safety management system, we therefore offer additional support and advisory services to help our employees at all sites look after every aspect of their physical and mental health. Occupational health service Company physicians at all our sites keep our employees healthy and fit for work. They implement a wide range of preventative measures to promote a healthy and safe working environment; inspect and evaluate our work processes; and investigate any physical complaints that arise in connection with our employees' work. Furthermore, they offer additional medical support services such as personal consultations for employees looking for advice around pregnancy, vaccination information, support with returning to work after a long illness or answers to any other general health-related questions. "Focus weeks" and "health weeks" are also held at our international sites. ➔ GRI 403-3 Blum employee service The Blum employee service at the company headquarters in Austria provides advice and support for employees whose mental health is suffering as a result of their work or personal circumstances.
