• Employer-financed direct insurance
• Regular check-ups by the company doctor
• Special "Get fit" days with changing themes

• We offer our apprentices in the 2nd year of their apprenticeship health days focusing on exercise, nutrition, addiction and stress management as well as social media
   

High fun factor

These are provided for e.g. by:

• Joint excursion in the 2nd year of training (e.g. canoeing/rock climbing)
