Mental illnesses in the workplace can have many causes. Mental illnesses are now one of the most common illnesses among employees and the most expensive for health insurance companies. VdK-TV uses the example of employee Verena Rüger to show how mental illnesses can affect people: Verena Rüger, a hairdresser, developed a fear of people, i.e. sociophobia. After a mental breakdown, Verena Rüger spent five months in hospital. Today, the young woman is back at work, managing office duties in a medium-sized Franconian company. She completed retraining as an office management clerk at the Nuremberg vocational training center, one of whose sponsors is the social association VdK. She came to her current employer through an internship. Would you like to find out more about us, the social association VdK?
