Healthy working at the TU Ilmenau

The health of our employees is particularly important to us. Healthy, motivated and productive employees are a prerequisite for a successful university. Our offers, such as health courses, preventive measures or active breaks, are designed to promote healthy working and bring more movement into the often sedentary working day. Employees with health restrictions can take advantage of targeted support services.

Healthy work. Because health-oriented employees move more.

Healthy at work

A workplace that is designed with health in mind and offers healthy working conditions not only promotes health, but also makes a decisive contribution to the motivation and performance of employees. Ergonomic workplace training, active breaks in the office, workplace inspections, as well as flexible working time models and needs-based training provide the best conditions for a healthy workplace.

Employees can find all the information they need on Healthy at Work in SharePoint.

Prevention

TU Ilmenau's occupational health management includes various preventive services designed to prevent illness. In addition to screenings and health tests, selected vaccinations are offered to employees. The annual flu vaccination is very popular.

Furthermore, a company doctor offers regular consultation hours on campus.

Mental health and relaxation

In addition to physical health, it is equally important to remain mentally healthy. Rapidly changing working conditions, increasing demands and increasing time pressure increase the perception of stress. Developing a relaxed and mindful attitude helps to stay focused and on top of things. To promote mental health, relaxation and mindfulness courses, mobile massages, and also individual consultations are offered.

Exercise and nutrition

In addition to the health and sports courses of the University Sports Center, the region offers countless leisure and excursion opportunities for outdoor exercise. Whether hiking, mountain biking, forest bathing, climbing or skiing, many things are possible in the Thuringian Forest. A visit to the Ilmenau swimming pool or the ice rink is also worthwhile.
