WORK & MOVE Coach at GRBV
GRBV is one of the oldest freelance engineering companies in Germany, with more than 95 years of experience in structural, industrial, civil and hydraulic engineering. From four locations - Hanover, Berlin, Münster and Braunschweig, - more than 180 highly qualified employees manage challenging projects across Germany.

How did GRBV come into contact with WORK & MOVE Coach?
"Through the company Rückenwind - Ergonomische Lösungen from Hanover. This company had previously supported us in the ergonomic design of our workstations, including electrically height-adjustable desks. During this process, we soon found out that optimising the workstations was not enough. Through discussions with employees, it became clear that we needed to rethink our own working behaviour. Additional impetus was needed to ensure that the height-adjustable desks were used and that short breaks were taken regularly. Heiko Jeretzky of Rückenwind drew our attention to the WORK & MOVE Coach software and put us in touch with BakkerElkhuizen."
How did BakkerElkhuizen support you during the launch?
"After exchanging information about the software, we first had a meeting with our IT manager to discuss the functionality and technical implementation. It soon became clear that the programme could be integrated without any problems. We then decided to conduct a company-wide "pilot test" of about 60 days to gauge employee acceptance and test the effectiveness of the solution. Stefan Reuter of BakkerElkhuizen supported us in this. Employee questionnaires before and after the pilot phase were harmonised and sent digitally. The software in general and how it works were presented to our employees in a webinar. The webinar was recorded so that those who did not attend "live" could also learn more afterwards.
BakkerElkhuizen supported us well in analysing and presenting the research results. The results showed that it would be important to hold another webinar for the long-term use of the software. All employees were given a detailed presentation and explanation of the wide range of in-depth customisation options. This allowed us to reiterate how the software can support everyone individually. This webinar was also recorded and is available to all employees in our internal wiki.
A majority of our employees had come out in favour of introducing the software in the surveys and so management decided to use WORK & MOVE Coach for three years."

How is the WORK & MOVE Coach integrated into GRBV's health management programme?
"The well-being and health of the entire team is very important to us at GRBV. Besides our employee value-added programme, which includes health benefits, we hold a health day every two years and offer "team training" twice a week, among other things. The offers are very well received by the company. The WORK & MOVE Coach also helps employees integrate regular exercise and breaks into their screen work. All active and new employees are therefore given the opportunity to use WORK & MOVE Coach."
