Health management at Rheinmetall
Strong. Healthy. Together.
Think healthy
At Rheinmetall, people are our focus – because we know that health is not only a personal value, but also a decisive factor in the success of our company. Only those who are healthy, motivated and well trained can develop their full potential – today more than ever.
The focus is on a holistic, needs-based and target group-orientated concept with the aim of promoting the physical, mental and emotional health and fitness as well as the general well-being of our employees in the long term. Our health management programme therefore not only contributes to health and satisfaction for everyone, but also strengthens the corporate culture and promotes well-being in the workplace.
Our goal: a healthy workplace that motivates, supports and inspires.

Four pillars, one goal
Occupational health and safety:
We create safe workplaces. We minimise risks and increase safety awareness through hazard analyses (including psychological risk assessments), ergonomic advice and targeted preventative measures.
Health promotion:
We support physical and mental well-being with programmes for exercise, stress management, nutrition and resilience. For more energy in everyday working life.
Addiction prevention/management / Company social counselling:
Help at an early stage before it becomes critical: Our prevention and support services raise awareness and provide support - discreetly and competently.
Reintegration:
Back to working life: We provide personalised support when returning to work and help to prevent renewed incapacity to work.
Your commitment. Our support.
“Our occupational health management is more than just a service – it is a promise to improve your health and quality of life in the long term.”

"For years, Rheinmetall has proven that health management can be more than just a mandatory program: with a wide range of target group-oriented offerings, it creates a working environment in which employees remain healthy and motivated in every phase of life. Innovative programs such as 'Rheinmetall Active' and the Europe-wide 'Azubi Health Days' emphasize the particular strength of global health management," emphasizes Steffen Klink, COO at EUPD Research.
By signing the Luxembourg Declaration, Rheinmetall is also commit to itself to the guidelines for modern, holistic health promotion in the workplace – recognized throughout Europe and oriented toward the future.
We are optimizing our health management for all target groups. That is why we are a member of UnternehmensForum e.V., for example.
