What it's about
A direct manager has more influence on employee health than the family doctor — longitudinal studies show this consistently. Appreciation, clear communication and autonomy are measurable protective factors.
Why it pays off
Leadership behaviour explains up to 40% of the variance in sick-leave figures (DAK study, 2024). Health-insurance funding under § 20b SGB V explicitly covers leadership training in a workplace-health context.
