SIHL ACADEMY AND SOCIAL EVENTS
Create Your Career at Sihl
At Sihl, employees have the opportunity to actively create their professional development. Thanks to our Sihl Academy, everyone has the chance to take part in various coachings, trainings and further education courses. Whether it’s health days with experts, ergonomics coaching to learn back exercises for everyday work, setting up the back-friendly workplace, moving lunch breaks or professional training – everyone can decide for themselves which activities they want to take part in.
What events are planned?
DKMS Donor Campaign
‘We defeat blood cancer’ – that is the mission of DKMS. We would like to join them and are organising a major registration campaign for our employees. Anyone who wants to and fulfils the requirements can register as a donor. All that is required is a swab taken from a car, which is analysed in the laboratory to determine whether the tissue characteristics match a patient.
BARMER Action Day
Health is the most important thing we have. Without it everything else doesn’t work either. That is why we are organising a campaign day in autumn together with BARMER. Among other things, we offer our employees the opportunity to measure muscle tension in the shoulder/neck area (EMG muscle tone measurement). This muscle function diagnostic allows us to precisely identify tense and weakened muscle areas as well as functional restrictions in the affected regions.
Ongoing events
Moving lunch break from 04.09.2023
Once a week we do specific exercises with a physiotherapist to relieve our muscles and prevent back problems.
Past events
Ergonomics coaching
Whether you sit at a desk for a long time or have to lift heavy rolls of material in production, in every field of work there are tasks that put strain on the back and neck and can lead to problems in the long term. With physiotherapist Christian Terstappen, we have learned how to work in a way that is as easy on the back as possible.
Health Day 2023
Pupillometric sleep analysis, neck check, Fit Lights and a food truck that provided a healthy, delicious lunch – that was the Health Day 2023 at Sihl with the TKK team of experts who accompanied us for a whole day and drew our attention to certain health aspects.
Boule event...
‘Active in the lunch break’ – that’s what our employees did at our first lunch break event. In teams of two, colleagues had fun competing against each other in a boules tournament.
...and lunch for the winners
And of course there was also a prize for the winners: a pizza lunch together.
Easter promotion
Our Easter campaign has already become a tradition. In addition to a chocolate bunny for every employee, there is also a photo competition. Which department sends in the funniest Easter team photo and wins a round of pizza for the team?
EM manager barbecue
Our production never stands still, and to ensure that we can do this, we work on the machines in shifts. This means that some colleagues can’t take part in our events and activities. That’s why we organised a special barbecue event with football and sausages especially for our production employees during the European Championships.
EM prediction game
On 14 June 2024, the German national football team kicks off the European Championship at home. Of course, we’re cheering them on and have set up a betting game for our employees. Anyone who wants to can simply register, bet and win great prizes.
BARMER Beach and Health Day
Our trainees were part of the ‘BARMER Beach & Health DAY 2024’ team-building and fitness event. It was a varied programme consisting of a fitness boot camp with Michael Andrei (captain of SWD Powervolleys Düren) and various stations to test reaction speed, balance and timing.
