2025-06-12 |

Under the motto “Healthy teams and thriving companies”, voestalpine Böhler Welding Austria GmbH was awarded the prestigious Styrian “Fit at Work” health prize in the category for companies with more than 250 employees. The award recognizes Styrian companies that use innovative measures to promote the physical and mental well-being of their employees in the long term.

The dedicated occupational health management team in Kapfenberg - led by Sonja Pichler and Manuela Karacsony - has developed a multifaceted health concept that is actively practiced in everyday working life. Numerous programs and activities - including the Welding Hiking Pass, Pilates & Yoga, participation in running events, the Safety and Health Day, a fasting week, the Night Shift Soup project, the Shift Fit initiative as well as Health Spots and individual health checks - are enthusiastically accepted by the employees.

Our aim is to create a working environment in which people feel comfortable and enjoy coming to work. The positive feedback shows us that we are on the right track.

More and more Styrian companies are focusing on workplace health promotion, as this not only contributes to employee satisfaction and motivation, but also sustainably improves work processes and the working atmosphere. The targeted measures have a positive effect on the entire company - both from a human and economic perspective.

We are proud of this award and would like to thank all our partners and especially our employees who enthusiastically participate in the programs. The atmosphere is excellent - and we are already looking forward to the next health challenge!
