Here at the JKU, we believe health is something that needs to be balanced time and again, starting with prevention and ending with our employees' sense of personal responsibility. Supporting occupational health at the JKU is generally based on our employees' participation. A balanced program of action takes both the conditions at the JKU and the employees' individual conduct into account.

Various departments at our university (including Human Resources Development, Employee Safety & Protection, the University Sports Institute, the company physician, etc.) are responsible for developing and introducing measures to support occupational health. The Office of Human Resources Development not only offers a number of continual educational opportunities as part of its in-house seminar program (such as classes on time management and independent management, mindfulness, and resourcefulness), there is also an ongoing exchange with other Austrian universities as part of the network to support occupational health at Austrian universities and create a healthy environment at the JKU so that employees and students alike can live, learn, work, and study.
