Health Assessments

In 2007, sickness absence cost companies an average of £517 per employee¹. The longer-term consequences of ignoring your employees' health can ultimately be very costly to your business.

Employees in good health can increase your productivity. Bupa Wellness can help your employees identify important health risks and manage their health effectively so they can become less vulnerable to illness, both in the long and short term.

A Bupa health assessment is a thorough review of your employees' key health indicators and lifestyle. They also benefit from a minimum of 30 minutes with a doctor to ensure that their personal concerns are addressed, and they leave us with peace of mind and a clear action plan regarding their health.

Health assessments involve a one hour minimum visit to our centre.

Your employee receives:

• a physical examination
• a medical history and lifestyle questionnaire
• most test results available on the day
• a consultation with a doctor
• the opportunity to ask questions and discuss concerns
• a personalised health report usually available on the day
• an action plan with practical advice to minimise future health risks
• access to ongoing services to help them take action

Your employees leave a Bupa health assessment with specific information about their individual health risks, and 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 demonstrates that your business values its employees and can make it easier for you to recruit, retain and motivate your staff.
