Full program at the 5th SPALECK Employee Health Day
Donation for Bocholt refugee family festival / Defibrillators for the team
About 150 of our employees attended the annual Health Day on Friday, June 3, 2016. This was the fifth time that Gabi Mumbeck and Christiane Büdding had organized this event to promote employee health.
This year, there were three hands-on activities on the program: an allergy mobile from the German Allergy and Asthma Association was on site, whose two experts offered lung function tests and expert advice on allergy issues. The Arens’Marien pharmacy in Bocholt was also on board again, with a nutritionist carrying out metabolic screenings for staff, as well as the AOK health insurance company, which provided advice on vitamin D deficiency.
The three new defibrillators that we purchased for our two Bocholt locations were another magnet of interest. In future, these will be used to provide emergency assistance in the event of acute heart problems. An expert from Luttermann demonstrated how easy it is to provide life-saving help in an emergency.
Once again this year, we combined our Health Day with a charitable donation: We donated 1,000 euros to the Bocholt Asylum Working Group of the parishes of St. Georg and Liebfrauen, which used the money to organize a summer party for refugee families on 15 July 2016.
Carsten Sühling, Managing Director of the Spaleck Group: “Health is of fundamental importance to each and every one of us. That’s why we actively promote the health of our employees with back and yoga courses, for example. The Spaleck Health Day is an integral part of our company health management. With our traditional donation on Health Day, this time we would like to support the great commitment of the Asylum Working Group for refugees in Bocholt.” Specifically, the money will be used for a summer party on July 15, which will specifically target refugee families.
