Mental health and resilience at IMC Krems

Many employees took the opportunity to start the day together:

A refreshing start with Kombucha mocktails

The Hospitality Lounge invited everyone to relax and enjoy the morning: IMC staff had the chance to sample various Kombucha mocktails from bootch. Mighty Mint, Mango Punch and Plum & Play: the refreshing drinks created a cheerful atmosphere and a revitalising start to the day.

A wide range of workshops on health and well-being

The programme offered a diverse selection of workshops focusing on resilience, mindfulness, and balance.

• The “Hands-on Music Therapy” workshop („Musiktherapie zum Angreifen“) provided participants with an overview of music medicine and therapy. It then moved on to a collaborative exploration of music-based interventions, giving participants the chance to try out different musical instruments.
• In “Pathways to Resilience” („Wege zur Resilienz“), participants learned how to find joy even in times of pain.
• The “Screen Balance” workshop („Bildschirm Balance“) addressed screen work, workplace health prevention from a physiotherapeutic perspective, and ergonomic practices for the digital working environment.
• The programme was rounded off with “Breathing Techniques for Stress” („Atemtechniken bei Stress“), featuring simple methods for conscious breathing and relaxation.

Digital detox and mindful breaks

A central element of the day was the collective digital detox. Many participants took the opportunity to refrain from using their smartphones, laptops, and tablets – both during the workshops and throughout a phone-free lunch break.

Outlook for the 2025/26 programme year

The focus of the 2025/26 health programme will be on mental health and resilience. Alongside the kick-off, the new Element Health Programme 2025/26 was introduced, offering a wide range of activities throughout the year to integrate health, nutrition, exercise, mental strength, and occupational health into everyday working life.
