Individual-oriented measures
The aim of these interventions is to positively influence the individual behavior of employees. Education, information and workshops are often used to motivate individuals to adopt health-promoting behavior.
Examples: Nutrition lecture, lecture on time management, exercise and sport offers
Organizational-oriented measures
In contrast, organizational-oriented interventions focus on changing people's working conditions. The health of employees can be promoted by positively influencing the general conditions of the workplace.
Examples: Break organization, ergonomic workplace design, reduction of stressful working conditions
