FCC, a reference
in promoting
the Healthy Company
verting these into an opportunity to improve
efficiency and competitiveness.
Health at the workplace:
Some of the aspects of promoting health at
the workplace which have a positive impact
on a company’s earnings performance are:
•
Incrementar la participación de la planti-
lla en el proceso de mejora de la organiza-
ción del trabajo y del entorno laboral.
•
Implementing organizational measures to
enhance the well-being at the workplace
based on work-life balance policies and
flexible work schedules.
•
Encouraging healthy food habits at work,
providing information on nutrition and
offering healthy meals in the cafeterias
or providing the appropriate installations
and services.
•
Creating awareness on addictive subs-
tances that are harmful for our health,
such as, for example, tobacco, offering
stop-smoking programs and prohibiting
smoking at all of the company’s facilities
and buildings.
•
Promoting mental health, offering ac-
tivities and training to avoid stress and
tension as well as psychological support
services.
•
Stressing and promoting physical activity
and an active and healthy work attitude.
•
Creating awareness on controlling our
health, offering medical check-ups to
control risk factors of cardiovascular
diseases, high blood pressure, or high
cholesterol levels.
Healthy companies are
those that are able to face
the costs incurred due to
diseases such as chronic
ones and those related
to the ageing of the
population and non-healthy
habits, converting these into
opportunities to improve
efficiency and
competitiveness.

of the Safety, Health, and Welfare de-
partment during one of his presenta-
tions.
Promoting and sharing our experience and
management of the company as a health-
promoting agent are among the activities in
the company’s healthy company strategy.
Juan Carlos Sáez de Rus, manager of the
Safety, Health, and Welfare department, re-
presenting the company, participated in se-
veral of the seminars on the various practi-
ces and approaches which companies are
implementing for managing safety, health,
and well-being and its positive impact on
aspects such as the productivity, com-
mitment, and satisfaction of employees.
FCC was invited by the Valencia Safety and
Health at the Workplace Institute (INVAS-
SAT) to collaborate in the technical semi-
nar on “Healthy Organizations” to promote
health at the workplace as a modern cor-
porate strategy aimed at preventing occu-
pational hazards, increasing the individual
capacity of the working population to main-
tain their health and quality of life by provi-
ding the necessary means and resources
for achieving this objective.
During the seminar, the idea that the com-
bined efforts of businessmen, workers, and
the community to improve the health and
welfare of people was defended since it
offers great results, not only be reducing
the rate of diseases and related costs, but
also by increasing productivity, the quality
of life, and the number of healthy and moti-
vated individuals.
Along the same lines, FCC participated in
the 2nd Seminar on the Healthy Company
focused on results which was organised
by Medycsa. The company participated in
this event jointly with Universidad Rey Juan
Carlos and Universidad Internacional de
Catalunya, as well as with the companies
Corporate Excellence, Vodafone and Gru-
po Mutua Madrileña.
