🟠Level 2

Structured workplace health management

Documented process, fields of action identified, first measures under way.

What defines Level 2

  • ✓A workplace-health steering committee or coordinator is named and active
  • ✓Fields of action analysed and prioritised (e.g. via risk-assessment results + sick-leave analysis)
  • ✓First regular measures are running (at least 2–3 fields of action)
  • ✓Sick leave is evaluated quarterly and communicated to management
  • ✓The BEM process is standardised: invitation template, minutes template, documentation filing
  • ✓Annual planning for workplace-health measures is in place

What's still missing at Level 2

  • ○§ 3 No. 34 EStG (€600 tax exemption) is not yet fully utilised
  • ○Health-insurance subsidies under § 20b SGB V are not yet claimed systematically
  • ○Employees don't know the workplace-health offering well — participation rates below 30%
  • ○No ROI tracking — the impact of workplace health management stays qualitative
  • ○Managers are not yet actively involved in workplace health management

Next step: Level 3

At Level 3, workplace health management becomes measurable: fully use the tax exemption, claim health-insurance subsidies, set up a metrics dashboard and actively involve managers.
