A whole day dedicated to health
Health is a valuable asset and is particularly important to all of us. It should therefore also play a straightforward role in companies. A good reason for ipf electronic to dedicate an entire day to the topic for the first time at the end of October at the company headquarters in Altena. 80 participants were able to register in advance for individual applications, therapies or sports courses, for example, to avoid long waiting times for the many different offers prepared for the Health Day.
From massage to balance
But first, a muesli bar with a wide selection of fresh fruit, cereals, milk, yoghurt and vegan and lactose-free alternatives awaited the ipf electronic employees on the morning of the event for an initial all-round healthy refreshment. And the subsequent program also left nothing to be desired: two physiotherapists from the Märkische Rehakliniken offered a wide range of massages and relaxation exercises, e.g. a classic massage, a hot roll (a heated towel shaped into a roll that can be placed on tense parts of the body), a massage with a hedgehog ball or a hedgehog roll and electrotherapy with a Tens device to relax the muscles.
Participants also had to demonstrate features such as dexterity with a so-called MFT Challenge Disc, which allowed everyone to test their sense of balance via a connected monitor. At the connection, there were helpful exercises for all interested parties to train their own balance even better.
Ergonomics and nutrition tips
The comprehensive ergonomics advice from a trained ergonomics specialist, who suggested specific assistance for the respective workstations, was also very well received. In line with the topics of work ergonomics and posture, participants were able to have their spine scanned. This involved measuring the spine with a Medi-Mouse to check for potential problems in the back area. In addition to the wide range of interesting offers, two lectures provided information via a healthy diet. While one focused on the topic of "Sugar & Carbohydrates", the second lecture provided valuable tips on how to easily integrate a healthy diet into everyday working life.
The program was rounded off by various sports courses that all interested parties could take under professional guidance at the nearby Crossfit Lüdenscheid, e.g. functional training, mobility or back training.
Health is important to all of us. This is why the topic always meets with an immense response, as the numerous positive responses and suggestions to the health day at ipf electronic show, especially as many employees would like to see this event repeated.
