Social Benefits@Henkel

Our plant medical service has an emergency outpatient clinic, but also offers preventive measures such as skin cancer screening or colorectal cancer screening. In addition, occupational health screening, health promotion and sports and leisure activities to maintain health are a major focus. 

Social Services supports employees and supervisors with counseling services and prevention programs, such as childcare in Henkel company kindergartens, assistance for relatives in need of care, and active weeks for shift workers.  The programs aim to reduce stressful situations, support change processes, develop solutions and provide assistance. They are tailored to the individual situation and take place in a completely confidential setting. 

The company doctor is a supporting addition to the general practitioner's care. The company doctor's outpatient clinic provides on-site help and support.

MEGA is a preventive supplementary health insurance that Henkel finances 100%. You automatically participate in it. In this model, Henkel bears the full costs. The preventive health care package is worth approximately €1,900.

Henkel's accident insurance is automatic when you join the company. It covers accidents around the world as well as all occupational and private accidents around the clock.

In July 2021, Henkel introduced the "House of FlexBenefits" concept. If you are a tariff employee, you have an individual tariff budget per year that you can use flexibly, e.g. for sports and fitness activities or individual, additional days off.

Depending on your location, this is possible. In Düsseldorf, for example, vouchers for internal sales are currently being made available to employees.
