Investing in the Health of your Workforce in 2021
Over 250,000 patients checked since 2004
OUR RECOMMENDATION - Preventative Healthcare Education
Each year Australian companies invest hugely in the health and wellbeing of their workforce. As we know in many cases this is the only healthcare many workers (especially male workers) access whether it be for financial reasons or in many cases ‘Doctors - I don’t need one I am fine’
We find a simple health check is of course excellent however, it is in many cases just ticking a box with little change to behaviour.
HOW DO COMPANIES INCREASE THEIR ROI WITH THEIR HEALTH BUDGET?
A health program which encompasses education alongside the health checks.
An annual program where Health is in front of the worker continually. This can be as simple as awareness promotion or include education alongside healthcheck and immunization programs or stand alone Education Sessions
PREVENTATIVE HEALTHCARE EDUCATION
Preventative healthcare is about preventing disease rather than treating disease.
Educating workers in a simple five (5) step Preventative Health Care plan will encourage workers to take ownership of their health resulting in a healthier work force and importantly an increased ROI.
