Prevention plays a central role in the maintenance of well-being and fitness for work.
Lemminkäinen promotes employee wellbeing and the healthiness and safety of the work environment. The occupational healthcare service identifies, prevents and controls risks to the employees' fitness for work. By preventing we can reduce prematyre retirement and the adverse impacts of illness, accidents and lack of physical fitness.
Occupational health services are provided to all employees nationwide on a uniform basis.
The occupational healthcare service conducts workplace studies together with OHS personnel at typical sites of the Group's different business sectors. Measures aimed at reducing health risks and hazards are proposed on the basis of the findings.
Putting early reaction into practice
The model for the monitoring of sick leave absences is been developed in Lemminkäinen Group. The purpose of the monitoring system is to react to threatening fittness-for-work problems at the earliest possible stage.
Lemminkäinen has the best workplace exercise programme
Lemminkäinen has been systematically developing workplace exercise over a number of years, and has created a genuinely motivating model for it. A wide range of physical exercise activities are offered equally to all of Lemminkäinen’s employees. Encouraging the personnel to exercise regularly is also a part of management responsibility and training.
Employee participation in workplace exercise has risen from just under 40 000 visits to almost 80 000 visits a year. The number of employees taking enough exercise to maintain good health has risen significantly since 2004. Lemminkäinen’s long-term work in this area was recognised when it received the Finnish Sport For All Association’s 2009 Active Workplace Award.
