In the month of May, Frauscher Sensortechnik, headquartered in St. Marienkirchen near Schärding, was all about mental health. Focus topics in the Innviertel model company included mindfulness, resilience, stress reduction and time management. A happiness researcher devoted her presentation to the topic of how to grow together and achieve great things in these times.
Strong mental health makes it possible to deal better with difficult situations in every situation in life – including at work. There have been a few moments like this in recent years. That is why the mental health of the employees was the focus of the Innviertel-based company Frauscher Sensortechnik throughout the month of May. The management team took numerous measures – both online and in face-to-face meetings.
team hiked together
A joint hiking day was organized to further strengthen the team spirit at the St. Marienkirchen site near Schärding. Joint events were also organized in the global branches of Frauscher Sensortechnik, for example in France and India. “We are all aware that you can do a lot of good for your body with a healthy diet and exercise. Unfortunately, we often take far too little time for our mental health. As an employer, it is essential for us that all employees are physically and mentally well. That’s why we at Frauscher organized the ‘Mental Health Awareness’ month with many measures,” says Michael Thiel, CEO of Frauscher.
An extra day of vacation
In addition to the focus topics and local activities, there was an extra day of paid vacation for all employees worldwide on May 13th to have more time for family, hobbies and relaxation. The numerous initiatives should enable everyone to focus on and actively engage with the issue of mental health. This is the second time that Frauscher has focused on this topic. And it will probably not be the last time either, because the initiative is to be continued next year. “One of our corporate values is ‘in touch’ and for us that’s not just a motto, but a responsibility,” said Thiel.
