Health Assessments
Why carry out employee health assessments?
When putting in place a wellbeing initiative it is important to establish what the best areas to address are. By using in depth health assessments and consultations it gives baseline data to help establish the key health criteria which should be addressed in order to help employees live healthier, happier and more fulfilled lives. This in turn helps address the key areas to the organisation, whether it be reducing absenteeism, improving productivity etc.
By carrying out health assessment process for members of staff it gives baseline data to make progress measurable from both a health and performance perspective. These health assessments can help identify health risks, which if subsequently addressed can help to safeguard and improve employees’ health through early intervention. Employees will generally understand their health position and know what needs to be done to help improve it. This assessment and consultation will also help to give them an understanding of what further wellbeing services would be most beneficial for them to engage in so to help give direction to their own individual wellbeing needs.
