Imperial Tobacco has hosted an event in Germany aimed at promoting employee well-being and ensuring a healthy work-life balance. All of the company's Hamburg-based employees were invited to participate in the Reemtsma Health Day, which was organised in conjunction with the Works Council. Leading doctor and author, Dr. Hans-Peter Unger, gave two lectures about stress-related illness and prevention. Various stands were also in place to highlight services on offer to Reemtsma employees, including family services, coaching, nutrition, physical activity and relaxation. "The message to our employees is that their health is very important to us," said Michael Wenzel, human resources director Germany. "We know it can be difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance and this event emphasised our commitment to tackle these issues and create a positive working environment." Enditem
