Healthy at work, how do you do it?
Staying healthy at work is a major challenge for both employees and organizations today. Many workplaces, especially in sectors such as construction, industry, logistics, and healthcare, place high physical demands on employees. Add to that work pressure, an aging workforce, and staff shortages, and the risk of complaints or absenteeism increases rapidly.
Yet this is essential: healthy and enthusiastic employees are more productive, more motivated, and contribute directly to the success of the organization.
But how do you do that: stay healthy at work?

What does 'healthy at work' mean?
Healthy working goes beyond an ergonomic chair or a fruit basket in the cafeteria. It means:
- Working in a physically responsible manner;with sufficient variety, tools, and recovery moments.
- Preventive focus on vitality;for example, through health checks or coaching.
- Attention to mental resilience,especially in high-pressure situations or with irregular working hours.
- The right support at the right times,so that complaints do not develop into absenteeism.
In essence, it is about focusing on sustainable employability for everyone.
Sustainable employability in practice
Sustainable employability goes beyond vitality alone. It is about striking a balance between physical health, mental resilience, motivation, and a safe, stimulating work environment. This requires attention on multiple levels:
- Individual: employees who understand their health and energy levels and receive the right support to actively work on them.
- Team level: managers who recognize signals in a timely manner and promote a culture that focuses on job satisfaction and development.
- Organizational level: HR and management who develop policies based on data, trends, and needs, and translate those policies into targeted actions.
What are the benefits of a healthy working environment?
A healthy working environment is an important foundation for sustainable employability and the success of an organization. And it goes beyond ergonomic office chairs or a fruit basket in the office. It's about a culture and policy that focuses on health, safety, and job satisfaction. This has many benefits, both for employees and for the organization.
For employees:
- Better health; fewer physical and mental complaints, more energy.
- Greater engagement and motivation; employees feel seen and supported.
- More job satisfaction; a positive working atmosphere increases enthusiasm and satisfaction.
- Opportunities for development; room for growth and work-life balance.
For the organization:
- Less absenteeism and staff turnover; a healthy environment prevents dropouts and saves costs.
- Higher productivity;employees who feel good about themselves perform better.
- Stronger appeal as an employer;a healthy working environment is an important plus point for (potential) talent.
- Innovation and flexibility;teams that are energetic and enthusiastic are better able to cope with change and new challenges.
- Sustainable employability;employees remain employable for longer, both physically and mentally.
In short: investing in healthy working practices builds a stronger organization.
What can you do as an employer?
There are many ways to promote healthy working practices, such as:
- Regular use of health checks or preventive medical examinations (PME)
