Health & Safety

At company sports I can switch off and gather new energy.
Simone Rüther, Product Engineer, is responsible for the handling and support of complex manufacturing projects at Diehl Defence in Germany.
Health & Safety: All That Counts
Being and staying healthy and safe: This is more important than anything else. We at Diehl actively promote this because it is your well-being which counts, for each individual and for the company as a whole.
A Wholesome Approach to Your Well-Being
A healthy and motivated workforce is in everybody’s interest, so we do a lot for it. We know: Our health management can only be successful if we follow a holistic approach to it, taking into account both the physical and emotional well-being of our colleagues. In view of demographic change and a longer working life, we all deal with health-preserving concepts suitable for all ages and employment profiles.
We support our employees in living healthy lives. We provide competent advice, attractive sports activities, healthy nutrition and seminars on how to cope with stress. Our approach to health management and occupational safety is the provision of comprehensive prevention programs before the occurrence of illness and accidents. Your health matters to us as much as it does to you!
Prevention: Avoiding Health Risks is the Best Medicine
Our health management is intent on preserving and supporting health – so that diseases do not occur in the first place. Human beings need a well-balanced nutritious diet rich in vitamins, regular physical activity and mental balance – and this is where we support the individual. On top of that, our various Corporate Divisions directly engage in medical prevention. Here are a few examples that show our commitment to employee health:
- Diehl Controls offers changing health focuses with different activities, examinations and seminars.
- Diehl Controls facilitates regular health checks at the Polish locations.
- Diehl Aviation provides vaccination consultations and travel consulting in Laupheim.
- Diehl Defence hosts Health Days during which vein function tests and influenza vaccinations are offered.
- Diehl Metering follows a varied health prevention approach at the German Business Units in Apolda, Ansbach and Nuremberg. The company raises awareness of the ”Healthy Leadership“ among managerial staff, offers weekly fitness courses for employees and promotes a healthy way of living in general, e.g. with a dedicated incentive program.
Relaxation: Staying Cool When the Heat Goes Up
You are committed and you work a lot? Every day you master many tasks at your workplace, at home, with your colleagues, with your family and friends? This is stress which can be fun, encourage us and motivate us for outstanding performance. But stress can also have a negative impact on our performance and health: whenever we fail to cope with it effectively.
What helps to avoid this is to identify one’s individual stress factors and to focus on building up personal resources. The professional handling of stress may have a positive effect on health and efficiency. Those, however, who experience negative stress, may develop physical and mental illness. This is why Diehl supports its employees everywhere in the Corporate Divisions and business units to reduce any symptoms of stress and overstrain – for instance, with the following measures:
- Diehl Defence in Röthenbach offers a company-owned volleyball court.
- Diehl Defence also runs a comprehensive company sports program in Überlingen, including a dedicated trainer, fitness facilities, massage opportunities, and the “Cycle to Work” initiative.
- Diehl Defence and Diehl Aviation offer Pilates and Progressive Muscle Relaxation courses in Überlingen.
- Diehl Controls organizes various recreational sports courses, allowing employees to unwind after work.
- Diehl Aviation in particular focuses on Far Eastern therapy methods such as Jin Shin Jyutsu or Qi-Gong in Laupheim, supporting employees in finding the right balance between tension and relaxation.
- Diehl Metering provides employees the opportunity to get massages at their workplace and organizes stress management seminars at the German Business Units.
