Benefits of health promotion
With over 36 million working days being lost to sickness each year in the UK*, it pays to encourage your employees to adopt healthy lifestyles. Our bespoke health promotion events are a popular way of educating staff on the importance of looking after their health.
Our health promotion services
We provide appropriate health surveillance and screening for all employees who wish to participate and offer professional, confidential advice.
Screening sessions
Health promotion events can include 15-20 minute screening sessions consisting of a general discussion about the individual’s health along with height/weight/body mass index check, total cholesterol screening (thumb prick blood test) and blood pressure check. Blood glucose tests can also be included.
Tailored health information
We also supply employees with useful information on topics such as healthy eating, exercise, cholesterol and stopping smoking. The results of all screenings are discussed with the individual during the session and each person will be provided with their results and further advice if necessary.
Bespoke, dual-branded health education literature can be produced for distribution to your staff in order to complement health promotion events or as standalone information.
Health education and training
Where specific training is required we can arrange workshops and seminars on site for your employees.
