The effects of poor employee health on Australian productivity cannot be underestimated. For example, unhealthy workers average just 49 productive hours of work per month compared to 143 hour per month for the healthy ones (Medibank Private, 2005). Manage your employee's health and see the results add up.
A large part of remaining healthy is identifying health risks early and making simple, but important, lifestyle changes. Good Health Solutions offer preventative tools (like Employee Health Checks) and management tools (like seminars and one-on-one consultations) to improve the health, and therefore the performance, of your employees.
Employee Health Check
The Good Health Solutions Health Check is considered the industry gold standard. This 20-minute assessment measures an employee’s major cardiovascular disease risk factors, as well as providing an overview of their general health. This service can be conducted at any workplace across Australia. Unique to Good Health Solutions, all workplace health assessments are performed by experienced exercise physiologists. On completion of the assessment, detailed individual reports are provided to employees, and aggregated reports will be provided to the company. This enables companies to identify common health risk categories and implement well-targeted solutions, optimising the return on their investment in employee health. Only the very best equipment and expertise is used: Cholestech technology and experienced professional exercise physiologists.
“It was great because the consultant gave you the results as you went along, and at the end, you received an overall review. It was designed to identify any areas that may put your health at risk." CBA employee health check participant 2008.
Employee Health Check Plus
The Good Health Solutions Health Check Plus builds on the Health Check by providing a more detailed health review. This 45-minute workplace health assessment includes a blood pathology and physiological evaluation, and employee lifestyle counselling. The assessment enables the detection of potential issues that may affect an employee’s health and productivity. Detailed individual reports are provided to employees, and aggregated reports are provided to the company. Only the very best equipment and expertise is used: Cholestech technology and experienced professional exercise physiologists.
Diabetes Risk Screen
For every Australian adult diagnosed with diabetes, another has it but doesn’t know about it. Diabetes, if left untreated, can have serious implications on an individual’s health, wellbeing and life expectancy. The Good Health Solutions Diabetes Risk Screen (provided at your workplace) is a convenient 10-minute assessment of an employee’s risk factors associated with diabetes. Blood glucose checks are performed using advanced and reliable Cholestech finger-prick technology. Body mass index (BMI) and waist measurements are also used to form a reliable evaluation of risk. On completion of the assessment employees receive individual results, and practical strategies to minimise the risk of developing diabetes from an experienced exercise physiologist.
Skin Checks
One thousand Australians die from melanoma every year – the second largest incidence of melanoma in the world. If you live in Australia, having your skin checked regularly is an absolute must. Good Health Solutions experienced medical practitioners can perform a 10-minute visual skin assessment for your employees at your workplace. This assessment will detect and address any areas of concern, as well as promote the importance of early detection and being ‘sun smart’ in the harsh Australian climate. A one-page report will be provided to employees, including a specialist referral if required.
