News memo
On Wednesday 14 December, Daimler announced that a company health agreement had been struck between the company’s management and the central European works council. The agreement, which will be binding as of 1 January 2017, has been reached after two years of testing and puts forward a series of measures that form part of a wider prevention strategy, which began at the start of the decade. In addition to a free and complete check-up for German employees, the agreement introduces an attendance bonus for workers who rack up the lowest number of sick days per year. However, such a bonus is rare in the country and Daimler’s announcement has caused a degree of controversy, with concerns it may prove counterproductive.
