Why the Topic of Health Is So Important at Vector

Motivated and healthy employees are a decisive driver for success at Vector. That’s why a healthy working environment is very important. The foundation of this is the personal responsibility of every employee to do something preventative for themselves. For this to work as well as possible, Vector supports lots of health-promoting activities in the areas of exercise, nutrition and balance.

Mens sana in corpore sano? To maintain both mental and physical health, Vector employees enjoy their meals at our multiple-award-winning company restaurant. Regional character and sustainability play an important role in the flavor concept here. This is good for the palate, the energy balance and climate protection as well. With free drinks from A for apple juice to Z for (Coke) Zero, we’ve got you covered, and there’s never a lack of specialty coffees and teas.

The vMove health center is an important component as well, where you can work out on professional equipment, stay fit by taking a variety of classes like Pilates & Zumba or by training your back or increase your well-being with a yoga and relaxation course.

So the back doesn't pinch

Naturally, an ergonomically equipped workstation with a vertically adjustable desk and high-quality office chair are part of the standard furnishings. Upon request, we can ensure the perfect fit of employee and workstation through individualized ergonomics consultation.

Should your inner self be weaker than you thought, our sports groups may jolt you into action. Being active with others is highly motivational. Just like when you’re at work, it’s a lot more fun as a team. Vector employees play beach volleyball, soccer and ping-pong, compete at the triathlon and take part in climbing, running, mountain biking and bicycle racing with one another, among other things.

Speaking of bike riding, a good bicycle doesn’t have to be expensive. With the JobRad program, you can lease the bike of your dreams. This protects the environment, makes you healthier and allows you to ride up to 40% cheaper thanks to tax incentives. If you come to work by bike or jogging, get your work day started fresh and in full swing in one of our many showers and changing areas.

While we’re on the subject, let’s go a step further and talk about work-life balance. As different as each of our individual outlooks on life may look, we’re all familiar with the challenge of maintaining balance. That’s why it’s good to know that no-one’s alone at Vector. We work together with employees to find joint solutions for a good life balance.

Life balance = work, family, friends, hobbies and health

After all, everyone finds their balance in a different way. In addition to making sure health needs are met, Vector also offers options for finding individual balance, like part time, flextime, mobile working, sabbaticals, personal consultation on “the family adventure,” childcare solutions and information on medical assistance issues, postal service, carpooling and the Vector band.

Vector not only offers a great working environment, but exciting jobs as well:
