Healthy Planai

“Motivated and qualified employees make a decisive contribution to the success of our company.” Following this guiding principle of the Planai-Hochwurzen-Bahnen GmbH, the continuing education and further training of the entire team has been given a very high priority for many years within the framework of the “Planai Academy”. This dedication and the knowledge that a healthy company needs healthy employees were the premise for Councillor of Commerce, Director Albert Baier at the launch of the project “Healthy Planai”.

The “Healthy Planai” program is widely diversified and tailored to the needs and seasonal demands of our entire team. Last fall, for example, required a great deal of commitment, since we had to conduct our summer operations alongside the completion of our large construction projects which was followed by the start of the winter season on Planai on 26 October!

- The activities range from weight training, back exercises, sports physical fitness checks, yoga, conditioning training, jogging, Nordic walking, climbing, biking to dance classes, wine seminars and cooking classes for our cable railway operators. 

- Alongside the training programmes, we also offer our dedicated team numerous seminars, which extend far beyond the professional continuing education and further training programmes. These include, for example, stress management, motivation, communication, conflict management, personality training, driver safety training, bus driver coaching, memory training, vocal training and many more.

- A new focus was placed on spiritual and social wellness in 2007, with the topics of stress, communication, motivation and corporate culture at the centre. The results of a large employee survey formed the basis of the programme planning. This gave new buoyancy to the employee appraisals which have taken place for many years. The personnel managers receive support for this in the form of seminars and new checklists.

- The annual employee trainings for ALL employees thoroughly deal with the topic of motivation alongside the corporate philosophy, mission statement, key company information, larger investments, service awareness and much more.

- A multitude of further measures, such as ski helmet campaigns, cost subsidies for various types of insurance, uniforms, Planai employees’ funds, ergonomic consultations and more round out the wide palette of “Healthy Planai”.
