Occupational Health

Promoting employee health

Health promotion is an evidence-based, targeted way of promoting an improved lifestyle both in and out of work. Employees' health status and behaviour can impact on the quality of their life and the risk of illness and injury. In turn, a lower incidence of illness and injury can have a positive effect on workplace productivity.

Health promotion is a great way of encouraging healthy lifestyle behaviours that could improve productivity and prevent illness. Offering a range of services and tools that can deliver clinically relevant messages and robust reports is where our Occupational Health expertise can help.

Call us on 0800 046 2009 and find out more about these initiatives, how easy they are to put into place and how they could help your business:

Wellbeing communications

Wellbeing communications can be highly effective - but they do need to have your full support. Together, using our experience in Occupational Health services, we can implement a range of innovative and engaging ways to spread the 'good health' message to your employees.

• From posters for communal areas, to wage-slip inserts or desk drops, these messages focus on issues such as reducing stress, smoking cessation, general lifestyle matters and healthy eating.
• If you have one of our associated services, such as MyHealthCounts for Business, these communications actively encourage your staff to make the most of the services you're providing.

Lifestyle medicals

Our lifestyle medicals are health promotion and prevention tools. They're designed to offer your employees feedback on their current wellbeing, and advice on how to potentially improve their health and fitness. As their employer, we can give you statistical data - retaining confidentiality for your employees - that could help you spot health trends in the workplace, and mitigate risks to your business.

Our lifestyle medicals are flexible, so we can include options that suit your business. For example, we could offer audiometry, lung function analysis, vision screening and musculoskeletal checks. Or we could offer our standard range of tests, to include:

• A height, weight & Body Mass Index test - useful in assessing general health and nutrition
• Pulse and blood pressure diagnostics - useful in identifying circulation and cardiac issues
• Urinalysis, cholesterol and glucose level tests

With award-winning experience in Occupational Health services, we're confident that we can help you effectively promote health in the workplace at an affordable cost. Call us on 0800 046 2009, and find out more about promoting health in the workplace…
