Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Martorell, 26/02/2016. – Today #seat laid the cornerstone of what will become an innovative health centre by the end of the year for its more than 14,000 employees. In the same event, the company has also received the certification Healthy Workplace given by AENOR. The new Health Care and Rehabilitation Centre (CARS) will have an extension of 1,300 square metres, will require an investment of three million euros and will feature three areas of activity – healthcare, preventive medicine and rehabilitation. Therefore, #seat will have a team of 25 professionals specialising in traumatology, radiology and cardiology, among others.
One highlight among its many innovations is that the centre will provide the company's over 3,000 female employees with annual screenings for the early detection of breast and cervical cancer, thus becoming the only carmaker in Spain to feature this kind of in-company medical test. At the same time, it will have an innovative biomechanical laboratory, taking it another step toward the so-called Industry 4.0, applying the latest technology in the ergonomic design of work places and monitoring of musculoskeletal disorders.
The ceremony to mark the official start of construction was headed by Jordi Baiget, Minister of Business and Knowledge of the Catalan Government, and #seat Vice-president for Human Resources Xavier Ros. Furthermore, during the event, AENOR President Carlos Esteban awarded the company with the Healthy Workplace certificate. #seat is the first company in the automotive sector in Spain to receive this distinction.
According to #seat Executive Vice-president for Human Resources Xavier Ros, "our employees are the driving force behind the company, and that's why we're investing three million euros on continuing to care for their health and well-being. With the future #seat Health Care and Rehabilitation Centre, and thanks to the Healthy Workplace certification, we're one step closer to our goal of looking after our workers in a comprehensive manner, ensuring their physical and mental health and encouraging them to lead a healthy lifestyle."
"Companies consist of business owners and workers as an inseparable whole. Shared social responsibility should be an asset rather than an expenditure" pointed out the Catalan Government's Minister of Business and Knowledge Jordi Baiget during the groundbreaking ceremony.
Pioneering health care and prevention
SEAT's future Health Care and Rehabilitation Centre, which will be in operation by the end of this year in the heart of the Martorell factory, will be wholly dedicated to employees' health and well-being. It will cover an area of 1,300 square metres and require an investment of three million euros. In order to cater to the needs of over 14,000 employees, the company will have a team of 25 professionals specialising in diverse medical fields such as traumatology, radiology, cardiology, psychiatry and sociology. In addition, the CARS will include the latest technology in radiodiagnosis to promote the diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, among other pathologies. Furthermore, the CARS will also feature multipurpose areas for rehabilitation and fitness, where employees can perform different physical activities led by first level professionals.
AENOR model of Healthy Workplace
The future CARS is preceded by AENOR's formal recognition of #seat as the first Healthy Workplace in the automotive sector in Spain. At today's ceremony, AENOR President Carlos Esteban presented #seat Vice-president for Human Resources Xavier Ros with the certification. This model, based on criteria outlined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and on the methodology of continuous improvement, certifies that the company has implemented a superb management system that promotes and protects health, safety and well-being in the workplace.
According to AENOR President Carlos Esteban, "occupational health today cannot be limited to considering physical, chemical and ergonomic risks. It must also cover health habits and psychosocial factors. AENOR has developed a Healthy Workplace Model that responds to this need, and 38 certificates have been issued to companies that implement it".
