104 Health and safety Healthy and performing employees form the basis for the success of every company. The RZB Group offers something by way of provision and support with a range of offers and facilities. In addition to the legally prescribed measures in the area of healthcare, we offer numerous additional options. We consider it our duty to deploy people in line with their skills and abilities and to develop their performance. The statutory standards for occupational health and safety are complied with in all countries, and the corresponding committees and officers set up and appointed. In the reporting period, the absence rate for the RZB Group was four percent in 2016 (in 2015 it was also four percent, and for 2014 and 2013 it was three percent). There was one death. The injury rate according to ILO is 0.24 (0.23 in 2015; 0.18 in 2014; 0.23 in 2013). Health initiatives at the Vienna sites A large number of offers and preventative measures aimed at promoting good health have been put in place for all employees to use. For example, a comprehensive health examination is available at no charge at the head office sites in Vienna every year, in cooperation with “Health+Life Gesundheitsmanagement GmbH”. Participation in optional supplemental modules (e.g. thyroid gland screening, arterial disease prevention) is financially supported. Employees can also make use of other medical services during working hours, such as having themselves inoculated with the tick encephalitis (FSME) vaccine or the flu vaccine. These health services are rendered by a team of occupational physicians who take care of overall medical support at work. This also includes regular inspections of the workplace with thorough ergonomic advice and even individual workplace configuration. Employees also can take advantage of massages, osteopathy, physiotherapy, hypnotherapy, craniosacral therapy, Nuad Thai massage, shiatsu and nutritional advice in the appropriately adapted company premises on their own time and at their own expense. To complete the medical health care, employees and their dependents (children, spouses and life partners) are granted a subsidy to a group health insurance scheme. Further initiatives are also available to employees for maintaining and promoting fitness and health. In addition to the many courses (e.g. yoga, self-defense) and other in-house sports initiatives, employees are also encouraged to be active during their free time by making use of the discounts they are given , e.g. for fitness club memberships. For the third time, the company participated in the global corporate challenge “10,000 steps a day to health”. Many employees enthusiastically pursued and successfully met the team goals over a period of 100 days. During the annual health and fitness week, trial sessions and presentations are offered. Additional specialist presentations (e.g. Fit4Brain, “Gesundes Gehirn – Fördern und Erhalten” (Supporting and maintaining a healthy brain) take place regularly throughout the year. Interested employees can drop by the UNIQA Vital Truck for a professional appraisal of their fitness levels and to obtain advice on training. In the fourth quarter of 2016, a UNIQA Vital Coach also visited all employees at their workplace to show them easy exercises using TheraBandresistance bands that the employees received as a gift afterwards.
