Workplace Health Checks
Employers face ever increasing challenges to recruit and retain their most valuable resource - the employee.
By offering a wellness program that incorporates health checks, you will set yourself apart from the competition. You will also reap the benefits of reduced absenteeism and improved productivity with your healthy employees.
How can we help?
At MedPro we provide Health Checks for your staff in your work place. Our Registered Nurses perform the checks, and the results are immediately available. Each person then receives healthy lifestyle advice, individually tailored to them. We offer a range of Health Checks depending on your organisations needs. They can include:
-
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
-
Cholesterol (Total/HDL Ratio; HDL; LDL)
-
Triglycerides
-
Glucose
-
Blood Pressure
-
Height & Weight
-
Body Mass Index (BMI)
-
Waist Circumference
-
Skin Checks
-
Hearing and Vision
Standard checks take approximately 15 to 20 minutes and results are discussed with each client.
The results can then be entered into our online tool. Each person then has easy to read health assessment results, helping employees to be accountable for their health.
The employer receives a report on the overall results, providing a snapshot of the health of employees. This provides an excellent record, and a comparison for future results.
