← All levels
🟢Level 3
Active workplace health management
Measures are running, metrics are in place, the tax exemption is being used.
What defines Level 3
- ✓Several fields of action are actively used — at least 5 of the 10 workplace-health fields
- ✓§ 3 No. 34 EStG (€600 tax-free/employee) is fully used — ZPP-certified measures are booked
- ✓Health-insurance subsidies under § 20b SGB V are claimed for at least 2 measures/year
- ✓Sick leave is evaluated monthly — the result goes to management
- ✓A workplace-health metrics dashboard exists: sick leave, participation rates, BEM rate
- ✓Employees know the workplace-health offering well — participation rates above 40%
- ✓Managers take part in workplace-health training (healthy leadership)
What's still missing at Level 3
- ○Not all 10 fields of action are covered yet
- ○No formal maturity reporting for management or the supervisory board
- ○Health-insurance funding not fully used (§ 20b SGB V potential is higher)
- ○ROI is described qualitatively, but not measured quantitatively
- ○No systematic benchmarking against industry peers
Next step: Level 4 excellence
At Level 4, workplace health management becomes a strategic management tool: maturity reporting for the supervisory board, all 10 fields of action covered, ROI measured quantitatively and health-insurance funding fully used.
