Welcome
What is important now.
A central problem in the care of the elderly and the sick is the physical and mental overload of the job and its consequences. The nursing shortage is largely due to this. This has never been so clear and comprehensible as it is now. Immediately effective, implementable and sustainable programs are needed to stop this long-standing trend and turn it into a healthy future.
In no other industry are sick leave rates, career terminations and the need for young people so alarmingly high. the
The associated lack of remuneration must be solved by politics. However, improving the physical and mental well-being of caregivers is possible.
And right away!
The newly created function of a

What is a health coach?
The HealthCoach creates a completely new function for the care industry. For the first time it is possible to guarantee the effective health promotion of nursing staff economically, sustainably and across the board

HealthCoaches will remain as
inpatient or outpatient caregivers
working in their facilities. You work 30 hours as a nurse and an average of 10 hours per week as a health coach. As multipliers for preventive and health-promoting behavior in the workplace, they act as role models for the colleagues they look after. To support their additional tasks, HealthCoaches receive digital aids and close support from specialist trainers.

Why are health coaches important?
HealthCoaches increase the sustainability of
Workplace health promotion and can help to avoid absences due to illness.
The sustainable implementation of temporary
funded WHM/BGF measures
in the care of the elderly and the sick often fails due to the insufficient qualification of the employees in this area. They lack practice and theory to adequately continue the learned measures.
At this point comes the hybrid offer from HealthCoach and the app for
nurses to use. Analogue job-specific health programs around the HealthCoach are combined with a digital
tal learning platform combined. The result is healthier nursing staff, fewer days off due to illness and, as a result, happier employees who remain in the facility, the outpatient service or the hospital in the long term.
With the combination of HealthCoach
and app it is possible for every caregiver

What are the advantages of a HealthCoach?
HealthCoaches create and maintain the most important basis for long-term corporate success in the healthcare sector: healthy, high-performing and motivated nursing staff.
A central challenge for all
Nursing facilities, nursing services and hospitals is to attract and retain professional employees and to ensure their health. As a qualified personality, an in-house HealthCoach implements workplace health promotion (BGF) permanently in facilities, nursing services and hospitals.

What are the tasks of a health coach?
To successfully promote workplace health
to implement it requires knowledge, acceptance
and motivation of employees. It is precisely this mediation work that the HealthCoach takes on.
The implementation of a structured health promotion process is of great importance in order to successfully implement prevention and workplace health promotion (BGF) in a long-term, sustainable and affordable manner in a (semi) stationary care facility, an outpatient care service or a hospital.
This focuses on the following points:
• Motivated employees,
• acceptance of the measures,
• Qualification of employees

With mobile training rooms, the health
Coach training guaranteed on site.
The day-to-day work of outpatient nursing staff differs fundamentally from inpatient care. The care takes place at the individual centers of life of the person in need of care. A care bed and other aids are hardly available. The nursing staff are usually left to their own devices in their work and are under constant time pressure. Accordingly, they suffer from specific muscle and skeletal strain and are exposed to additional stressors. This requires additional movement training and additional stress management techniques. The LifeBonus Academy sets these requirements as part of the HealthCoach training with the “Outpatient
care” order. Experience shows that the HealthCoach is most effective for colleagues when it is directly in front of place takes place. For this reason, LifeBonus has designed a mobile training room and equipped it with a number of tools. The HealthCoach drives the vehicle directly to the outpatient nurse and conducts the training directly in the mobile training room.
The mobile training room program will be piloted in Hamburg from spring 2022. From winter 2022/2023 it will then be used in other selected regions.
