*3.2. Current State of Implementation of Health-Related Measures in the Companies*

In this subsection, we consecutively present the results of the first three research questions (RQ 1, RQ 2, and RQ 3, as explicated in the Introduction).

RQ 1: The average implementation grade of health-related measures in companies as assessed by scores was highest in the category 'occupational health and safety' (6.75 points on a scale between zeo and a maximum of 10 points), followed by 'personnel development' (6.11 points), 'reintegration management' (4.06 points), and finally 'workplace health promotion' (3.63 points) (cf., in detail Table 4).

**Table 4.** Average standardized implementation grade (implementation scale mean) in four categories of health-related measures (total sample, *N* = 222).


Explications regarding Table 4: Theoretical range of the standardized implementation grade in all four categories: zero to 10. The '*n*' of the individual columns represents the valid number in each case.

RQ 2: All health-related measures that are required by law were fulfilled by 23.9% (*n* = 53) of the companies in the category 'occupational health and safety' and by 50.9% (*n* = 113) in the category 'reintegration management'.

RQ 3: There is a positive correlation between company size and implementation grade in the four categories of health-related measures. This means for all four categories of health-related measures, the bigger the company, the more measures have been implemented. In the category 'reintegration management', the correlation is the most pronounced (Pearson's r = 0.35, *p* < 0.001), followed by 'workplace health promotion' (Pearson's r = 0.26, *p* < 0.001), 'occupational health and safety' (Pearson's r = 0.23, *p* < 0.001), and 'personnel development' (Pearson's r = 0.21, *p* = 0.002).

There is also a positive correlation between company size and the fulfilling of measures required by law (occupational health and safety: Spearman's r = 0.35, *p* < 0.001; reintegration management: Spearman's r = 0.38, *p* < 0.001).

In the next subsection, we present the results of the fourth research question (RQ 4, as explicated in the Introduction).
