Movement
Physical activity is the single strongest lever in workplace health management — and one of the few that statutory health insurers directly subsidise.
What it's about
Lack of movement costs German companies billions every year through back complaints, cardiovascular disease and burnout. Yet it doesn't take a company gym: even a 10-minute movement break per hour measurably reduces absence days.
Why it pays off
Studies by the BKK health insurer show: companies with a structured movement programme have 18% fewer back-related absence days. § 3 No. 34 EStG allows up to €600/employee/year tax-free — movement offers are the most common use of this allowance.
