At our plants in Slovakia and Serbia, we combined the pleasant with the meaningful by dedicating a full day to what matters most – the health of our employees. Once again, one of the most impactful moments was blood donation, which gives the event a deeper purpose and significance.
Health Day offered a broad range of practical screenings and expert consultations aimed at raising awareness of prevention and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Employees had the opportunity to undergo body composition analysis using the InBody device, providing insights into muscle mass, body fat, and basal metabolic rate. Nutritional counselling was also available, along with measurements of key health indicators such as cholesterol, blood glucose, uric acid, and blood pressure.
Considerable interest was drawn by specialist activities focused on the prevention of breast and colorectal cancer, as well as heart diagnostics using the WIWE device, capable of identifying potential risks associated with heart rhythm irregularities. Employees could also assess the condition of their vascular system through vascular patency testing.
Blood Donation as a Key Highlight
Blood donation formed an integral part of the event and remains one of its most meaningful highlights. A total of 29 colleagues, including 10 first-time donors, contributed to helping save lives. Among the donors were ZVS CEO Jakub Krchňavý and HR Director Alica Egylová. The welcoming atmosphere was complemented by coffee prepared by professional baristas, as well as complimentary fresh fruit, symbolically supporting the message of a healthier lifestyle.
Health Day Beyond Slovakia
A similarly themed Health Day was also held at our 14. Oktobar plant in Serbia, where employees could take advantage of preventive eye examinations and blood glucose testing. The focus was on prevention and the early detection of potential health risks.
The events in both countries demonstrated that employee care extends beyond the workplace to include active support for health and overall well-being. Initiatives like these not only contribute to prevention but also send a clear message that people truly matter.
