The development of a BGM system/process comprises a multitude of interrelated activities and measures that require industry- and company-specific process understanding. We develop organizations and processes in relation to a holistic BGM system individually and tailor-made in four phases:

1. Stocktaking and analysis (actual situation)

Topics: existing organization & structures, quality assurance, strategies, goals & concepts, budget/means, measuring instruments for data collection, communication & motivation measures, ergonomics, nutrition, sports & exercise, mental health & relaxation, addiction prevention, medical examinations, work & family etc.

2. Development & definition (target situation)

Development or further development of the topics mentioned under stocktaking and analysis and their definition.

3. Implementation & communication

Implementation (project management), defining roles (including BGM steering committee, working groups), overcoming resistance, communication, moderation, training & coaching etc.

4. BGM controlling, monitoring & continuous development

Controlling (target/actual) and, if necessary, readjustment, installation of feedback loops, development of a learning organization, etc.

With our Check & Review in the area of BGM, we support the development of a holistic BGM (Corporate Health Management) as part of a higher-level corporate identity. The following topics are subject to a Check & Review:

existing organization & structures, quality assurance, strategies, goals & concepts, budget/means, measuring instruments for data collection, communication & motivation measures, ergonomics, nutrition, sports & exercise, mental health & relaxation, addiction prevention, medical examinations, work & family etc.

If our Check & Review is carried out systematically, the implementation power in the company will be improved. In addition, critical issues are also addressed sensitively and in a solution-oriented manner and measures are developed jointly. With this approach, BGM has a developing effect on the entire organization.
