BUPA Health assessments
Through educating people about important health risks and helping them to manage their health effectively, your workforce will become less vulnerable to illness, both in the long and short term.
Individuals with good health status are on average 20 percent more effective than those in poor health, and about 30 percent of employees could be described as being in poor health, suffering for example from stress, lack of sleep, low fitness levels and bad diet*.

Good for your company
All too often we're too busy worrying about our work to worry about our health. The irony is that you need to be healthy to be able to work effectively in the first place.
The longer term consequences of ignoring your employees' health can ultimately be very costly to the business. Many illnesses develop so slowly, you don't realise something's wrong until it's serious. By which time, the illness can be much more difficult to treat. Your employees may soldier on working under par, and eventually require a long time off work.
BUPA health assessments help detect health problems in good time for your employees to take corrective action or for them to be treated with a greater chance of success.
By giving individuals specific information about the health risks that affect them personally, you give them a powerful incentive to take positive action - either to seek treatment or to make changes to the way they live.
Monitoring the health of your staff on a regular basis also demonstrates your commitment to your people and this makes it easier to recruit, retain and motivate your staff.
Health assessments are not a taxable benefit for employees. This is making them increasingly attractive to employers and employees alike with many employers now including them as an important part of their benefits packages. They can be offered on a mandatory or voluntary basis for certain staff or as part of a flexible benefits package.
Good for your people
With a wide range of medical tests, plenty of time with a doctor and a detailed personal health report, a BUPA health assessment will provide your employees with the confidence to get on with their lives, knowing they are as well as they can be.
The results of most tests are available on the day for discussion with a BUPA doctor. The doctor consultation also allows plenty of time to talk about any specific health concerns there might be. If we should detect a problem, we can recommend the immediate action that can be taken.
Many people have conditions like high blood pressure or raised cholesterol without realising it. If detected early, they can be easily managed before more serious problems develop. Even heart disease, cancer and diabetes can be treated more successfully if they're caught early.
