What Is A Fit For Life Employee Health Assessment?

Our Fit For Life Health Assessments provide a general health snapshot for workers through measurements such as blood pressure, blood cholesterol/glucose and sleep, exercise & nutrition questionnaires. Workers are booked in for a confidential appointment, carry out a battery of the above tests and are then provided a report of their health findings. At a site level, data is deidentified and used to display trends in health.

Importance of Employee Health Assessments In The Workplace

Change in Health Culture

Poor health behavior can have a significant impact on workplace culture. Not only does it erode the message of care that businesses aim to impart to their employees, it can lead to losses in productivity as well as rises in absenteeism & presenteeism. By shining a light on the key areas of health change that a site requires, businesses can adopt a number of health strategies to mitigate risk as well as promote health as a core workplace ethos.

Targeted Health Check

Wouldn’t it be great to address your 3 biggest health risks onsite in a targeted approach? Wellness calendars are a great initiative for many businesses looking to improve their workplace culture, however, the greatest time and resource allocation should be allotted to your biggest risks. Let’s say your site had a significantly elevated risk of Type 2 Diabetes; this data allows your wellness calendar to focus on this area and use this as a launching point for broader exercise & nutrition discussions throughout the year.

Employer of Choice

Any businesses looking to walk the walk when it comes to becoming an employer of choice needs to shine a light on the importance the business places on employee health. A Fit For Life Assessment is the launching point for understanding your health climate and then implementing yearly strategies that can be implemented and proudly celebrated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fit For Life Health Assessments are entirely optional.

All reports are made immediately available to workers, and immediately appear on our Data Management Platform.

Only workers and Employ Health are privy to the identified results of the assessment. Any data used at a broader level is completely deidentified.

All of our Physiotherapists at Employ Health are qualified to complete the battery of tests in our Fit For Life Health Assessments.

Health checks are carried out by Primary Health Care professionals. These experts identify at-risk employees who need further assessment and evaluation for onward referral. Additionally, they provide an individual health plan and report for each worker, ensuring comprehensive care and tailored health solutions.

We recommend conducting staff health checks annually as part of health surveillance activities. This frequency allows us to gather data to measure the impact of any interventions.
While annual health checks are essential, it’s crucial to implement ongoing programs and support after the checks. Continuous monitoring and follow-up ensure long-term health and wellbeing for employees, making these programs effective and impactful.

The length of a staff health check is customised based on operational demands, objectives of the assessment, and budget. It can be as short as 20 minutes or as long as 2 hours, depending on the specific requirements and scope of the evaluation.

Results from a staff health check are stored in our powerful and compliant data platform to ensure privacy is preserved. This system provides both the employee and the workplace with powerful insights, ensuring secure and efficient access to important health information.

Employees can get help through clear onward referrals provided when screening and testing indicate further assessment is needed. Additionally, Employ Health offers innovative programs to empower the workforce post-health check, fostering meaningful improvements to their individual health and the overall health of the workplace.

Hear From Our Clients

As a business we strive to be proactive in managing the health, safety and wellbeing of all our employees. We utilise Rapid Response Physio to ensure our Service and Transport staff are cared for even when they are away from the office. Previously when workers were injured while away from the office the first we might hear about an injury is when they return to the office with Workcover forms. Now, our team gets a rehab plan sent to their smartphone from the physio, and we can implement the right suitable duties if needed fast, to help them get better fast.
