FAQs

The distance learning course in occupational health management provides you with in-depth specialist knowledge and specific practical skills for promoting health, performance, and well-being in the workplace. It is suitable for specialists and managers, HR managers, occupational health management coordinators, and anyone who wants to strategically plan and implement health measures in their company. You will receive practical tools for occupational safety, prevention, mental health, and integration management.

A distance learning course can be integrated flexibly into your everyday working life, regardless of location, without fixed appointments or travel times. Learning phases can be planned individually and adapted to professional requirements, which is particularly important for people with responsibilities in a company. Content is worked through at your own pace and can be directly applied to current challenges. This keeps learning practical, efficient, and closely linked to your everyday working life, rather than creating additional stress.

The course consists of several modules that will gradually transform you into an expert in occupational health management. The core modules are:

Introduction to occupational health management – basics, importance of OHM, and strategic classification.
Implementation of health management – how to systematically introduce and establish an OHM.
Designing health-promoting work environments – planning ergonomic, physical, and organizational measures.
Mental health & leadership – dealing with psychological stress, healthy leadership, and occupational psychology aspects.
Workplace integration management (BEM) – setting up and optimizing workplace return-to-work processes.
Occupational safety & addiction in the workplace – legal requirements, prevention, and safety in the workplace.

This module structure combines strategic knowledge with practical skills for your daily occupational health management work.

OHM helps companies reduce absenteeism due to illness, maintain employee fitness for work, and increase employer attractiveness. At the same time, it supports companies in meeting legal requirements and actively addressing demographic change. A well-implemented OHM has a positive effect on productivity, motivation, and corporate culture.

Occupational health management covers both the physical and psychological aspects of work. This includes ergonomic work design, occupational safety, stress prevention, mental health, healthy leadership, preventive measures, and workplace integration management. It is crucial that these topics are not viewed in isolation, but are strategically linked.
