In March of 2015 the German Statutory Pension Insurance Scheme (Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund) launched a new consulting service specially tailored to the needs of employers and firms. One of the aims of this service for firms is to reinforce preventively and sustainably employee health.

Qualified company consultants from the statutory pension insurance scheme are available to firms as their first point of contact across the country. These professionals help firms through free on-site information and consultation to secure employability and avoid an early exit from the labour market for employees. Both employers and employees benefit from this.

The service for firms provides information about the range of preventive services and medical and occupational rehabilitation thus providing early access to these services. Furthermore it also helps to find solutions for the sustainable reintegration of employees after a long period of illness even in individual cases. The service for firms also provides a non-bureaucratic conduit for contact with social insurance institutions. Consulting on pensions, demographics, old-age provision and social contributions round off the list of services available.
