Introduction
ОглавлениеCongratulations on the decision to become an entrepreneur! According to an old hand, entrepreneurship is a lifestyle. However, keep in mind that it requires a change of mentality – an entrepreneur is not simply their own boss, but is also responsible for their employees.
The World Health Organization has defined health as a state of mental, physical and social welfare. Thus, an employer is responsible for the welfare of their employees and must offer them the opportunity to engage in appropriate and pleasant work, guarantee their income and maintain a work environment that is as healthy as possible.
Like the saying “You get what you give,” motivated and committed employees have an immense positive effect on the competitiveness of a fresh company. Well-organized occupational health and work safety encourages an increase in productivity, lowers costs and risks, creates competition among suppliers and partners, and raises the company’s reputation in the eyes of investors, clients, potential employees and society.
This publication gives you some pointers and suggestions on how to achieve a good working environment and how to organize employment relationships (e.g., what to consider when concluding an employment contract or planning vacations).
Good luck!
