Physical health
Healthy employees are more motivated and productive. And although physical health has many aspects, as an employer you have an impact too. For example, you can minimise excessive physical demands or too much sitting time at work and promote a healthy lifestyle. You’re also responsible for protecting pregnant employees and temporary workers. Need a medical checkup? You can count on our experts for that too.

Ergonomics at work
Too much sitting, repetitive or incorrect movements and poor posture during physical exertion ... Every job has some kind of impact on your employees’ physical health. We ensure that your people work ergonomically.
A healthy lifestyle
Fit employees are more energetic and resilient, and feel better about themselves: this is clearly true in the workplace. Promoting and encouraging a healthy lifestyle among your employees is to everyone’s benefit.
Medical support
Rely on our occupational physicians and nurses for medical checkups. You can also count on Mensura for flu vaccinations.
Temporary employees
Lack of experience puts temporary workers, student workers and interns at greater risk of work accidents. Mensura helps you to protect them.
Maternity protection and breastfeeding
Protecting pregnant employees and new mothers against workplace risks is crucial. With maternity protection, you can eliminate any work-related problems for pregnancy or breastfeeding.
