Job Satisfaction Staying healthy

IG Metall advocates for healthy and fair working conditions in companies. But that’s not all. As an employer, it also offers its employees a comprehensive range of benefits as part of a holistic workplace health management program.

Promoting and maintaining the health of our employees is an important goal. And this goal is shared by both our employees and the leadership at IG Metall. We recognize that employee job satisfaction and well-being can play a significant role in effectively representing the union’s positions to the outside world. That is why we invite all employees to participate in shaping healthy working conditions.

Our offerings include, among other things, health seminars on topics such as exercise, nutrition, relaxation, stress management, and time management. In our health workshops, employees can contribute directly to improving their working conditions by sharing their ideas and suggestions.


Anyone who needs support due to a difficult personal situation—for example, because of conflicts at work or health or family problems—can contact an external employee counseling service to receive advice, immediate assistance, and active support. Here, every IG Metall employee can find advice and support in a confidential setting.
