In February 2010 numerous actions dealing with the topic of health invited employees to get involved at Continental headquarters in Hannover. Brief massages, contests and information booths on mental health and work-life balance aroused considerable employee interest. The day was organized and carried out by the social counseling unit, the company health insurance fund (BKK) and the in-house addiction counseling service.

The taster courses "Stress-reduction techniques" and "Burnout prophylaxis" were also very well received. It gave everyone interested a chance to try out autogenic training, Jacobsen's muscle relaxation exercises and a whole lot more. In addition, a look was provided at handy health coaching and burnout prevention methods that can be practiced at work. Focal points included:

• Stress and strategies for coping with it
• Just hanging in there or already burnt out?
• Coming to grips with health at work
