What the Project Is
Active Health Group stands by the vision “Healthy people in healthy organizations” – a powerful mission that supports clients by ensuring that organizations can achieve their goals thanks to healthy employees. At its core, the project is about enabling each individual to develop through a balanced approach to personal and organizational health. The focus remains solely on creating an environment where employees and employers join forces to shape sustainable employability. With a history rooted in facilitating self‐management and empowerment of the individual, Active Health Group continuously strives to make a real difference – a difference that is tangible, engaging, and timely.

Organizational Approach
The project revolves around three essential pillars of sustainable employability. First, organizational culture, policy, and leadership form the basis for establishing a healthy work environment. There is a clear focus on addressing personal responsibility, raising awareness, and inspiring intrinsic motivation. Occasionally, the natural flow of ideas and subtle pauses (…yes, even a brief hesitation) reflect that change is a journey, not just a destination. The initiative helps scrutinize and unravel the underlying causes of absenteeism and helps in objectifying and managing them in a structured way.
Holistic Services
Active Health Group provides a wide array of services, which include not only guidance on organizational culture & policy but also a detailed look at employability & prevention, and absenteeism management & damage reduction. The service offerings are designed to interface with both employees and employers, ensuring that each participant feels empowered and part of a larger movement. This collaborative approach allows for the creation of a work environment that is both dynamic and resilient. Every step is imbued with the idea that sustainable employability contributes to a productive work setting where every individual is given the space to grow and excel… and sometimes, a little pause is all that is needed before moving forward.
Advisory and Certification
The advisory role of this project extends well beyond simple consultancy. It is an intricate process that supports organizations in adopting policies and behavior shifts necessary for sustaining a healthy work environment. Active Health Group continually emphasizes self-management and empowerment, ensuring that each organization is not just compliant with standards, but truly transformed. With certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 14001 supporting its methods, along with the prestigious B Corporation mark, the approach is both credible and reliable. The project is a trusted occupational health service that takes pride in its track record of shaping healthier working contexts.
Core Methodology
Central to the project is its systematic methodology that breaks down the intricate issues of absenteeism and employee disengagement into manageable parts. While addressing employability and prevention, it fuels a culture that prioritizes not only productivity but also the welfare of every individual. There is a genuine focus on unraveling problems piece by piece… exploring the possible solutions, and then objectifying the root causes to pave the way for clear, sustainable progress. This method of combining analytical processes with personal empowerment makes the project a reliable blueprint for enhancing organizational vitality.
