What Does The Employee Health Challenge Involve?

First, we assess each employee’s biometric information. The worker’s initial biometric results are then recorded and discussed with the physiotherapist. Based on the results, goals are then set with a plan on how to improve results in 8 weeks. Capacity assessments can also be performed to set a baseline for the worker if required. Throughout the 8 weeks, workers are provided educational content on how to improve their lifestyle before being reassessed at the end of the corporate health challenge.

What’s Included In The Employee Health Challenge?

The 8-Week Health Challenge consists of the initial assessment where the worker undertakes a biometric analysis. This provides participants with a comprehensive snapshot of their current health. Participants are also provided with a health habits booklet to record results and assist them in setting goals and hold them accountable for changing negative health habits. Workers receive weekly health emails on topics such as:

  • Nutrition and fuelling for success
  • The health effects of smoking and alcohol
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Exercise
  • The importance of sleep to better health
  • Gratitude and mental resilience
