The World Health Organization has defined a model for action, denominated “Healthy workplaces”, whose main idea is that a company that promotes health has to be committed to building an environment, where, in the interests of employees and community, it supports adoption of positive attitudes and healthy choices. This program has the dual aim of enhancing healthy lifestyles and break all sorts of addictions.

From the start Lechler has shown considerable interest in this project, promoting several initiatives and involving employees of the Como site, with a path aimed at “encouraging the conscious and responsible adoption of healthy food choices”, according to recommendations provided by ATS Insubria.

In 2021 we started procedures to create a “smoke-free environment to motivate to quit smoking” with an awareness campaign for smokers and arrangement of meetings with the company physician.

Next step will be promoting practices to adopt consciously and responsibly an active lifestyle.

On 24^th February ATS Insubria held a meeting to provide information and concrete tools to promote wellness in workplaces. This was a good occasion to get to know 30 companies in Como participating to the WHP program of Lombardia, recognized as “companies which promote health”.

Our hard work, but above all our strong will to make our workplace a healthier place, allowed us to be recognized as GOLD company in the promotion of health and wellness.
