Label «Friendly Work Space®»
“Friendly Work Space®” is the quality mark or label awarded to enterprises which successfully implement measures to optimise conditions at the workplace and which regard workplace health management as an integral part of enterprise management.
Workplace health management (WHM) creates a stimulating climate, improves working conditions and raises awareness of health-related behaviour. It also reduces absences due to illness and lays the foundations for sustainable successful performance.
