With the Element Health Programme, we support our employees in making health and wellbeing an integral part of their working lives and strengthening them in the long term.
On 12 November, the Element Health Programme 2026/27 officially kicked off. Built around the three focus areas EAT, MOVE and RELAX, the programme offers a wide range of activities throughout the academic year, covering nutrition, physical activity, relaxation and mental health.
The programme began with a kick-off event in the Hospitality Lounge. Over a healthy breakfast, small goodies and opportunities for networking, IMC employees were able to learn more about the new health programme and gather practical inspiration for enhancing their wellbeing in everyday life.
An especially important element of the programme is the team of Mental Health Supporters. At IMC Krems, Sabina Graf, Regina Parzer and Stephanie Tischler serve as trained and confidential points of contact for colleagues facing challenging situations. They provide a listening ear, initial guidance and support when needed.
The kick-off event was supported by Gutschermühle Traismauer GmbH, which provided nut bars, and SONNENTOR, which supplied tea for participants.
In the afternoon, the programme continued with the online session “A Clear Mind in a Digital World”. The session focused on strategies for managing digital distractions and on practical approaches to strengthening concentration and mental energy.
A variety of additional activities are scheduled throughout November, including the talk “How Much Is Enough? Mindful Consumption, Conscious Decisions” with Wolfgang Kaltenbrunner, the online workshop “Your Personal Health Compass” with Stefanie Bart, the lecture “Myths and Facts About Healthy Sleep” with Kerstin Hödlmoser, and a Laughter Yoga Workshop with Svenja Yvonne Reithner. Together, these activities provide practical inspiration for a healthy lifestyle and greater wellbeing in everyday life.
Further activities will be added throughout the 2026/27 academic year. Through Element Health, IMC Krems is reinforcing its commitment to a health-promoting workplace culture.
