BGN Trainee App "Start work fit and healthy"

The BGN Trainee App is for trainees (particularly in their first year of training) and those starting out in the hospitality industry and is intended to ease the transfer from school to work. The app covers six subject areas: career, stress, sleep, movement, nutrition and emergencies. The app is rounded off with a contact database and professional advice. It was developed as part of the "Innovation and Demographic Change in the Hotel and Catering Industry" (Innovation und demografischer Wandel im Gaststätten- und Hotelgewerbe (INDIGHO)) project. INDIGHO provides stimuli for age-appropriate job design and career-focussed human resource work in the hospitality industry. The joint project is aimed at strengthening the branch's capacity for employment and innovation. A variety of information, courses and guidance was developed for enterprises and staff in order for healthy, well-motivated employees to remain so throughout their lives and careers. INDIGHO first analysed demographic trends, employment structures and job situations in the hospitality industry. Its own empirical research also identified those critical work and life situations in which (too) many employees left the hospitality industry.
