Issue 8: The Benefits of Employee Health Screenings

In today’s faced paced world, the importance of health screenings cannot be overstated. Health screenings can provide your employees with comprehensive health assessments, encompassing both medical and non-invasive tests to offer a detailed insight into their health status. These screenings not only have the potential to detect escalating or unknown health issues early on but also emphasise preventative health measures to encourage positive behaviours that support well-being.

By offering access to health screenings, organisations like yours can proactively address health concerns and potentially reducing costs associated with absenteeism by preventing or identifying health issues that can be effectively managed or treated.

Based on recent research a quarter of premature deaths are caused by cardiovascular disease, such as heart attacks and strokes with over half of these being preventable.

Early detection through health screenings can play a crucial role in identifying risk factors and initiating interventions to mitigate these risks.

Employers can choose to cover the costs of health screenings for their employees or provide discounted access, demonstrating a commitment to promoting the health and well-being of their workforce.

Some employee benefit providers, particularly medical insurance, may also offer discounted self-pay health screenings as an ancillary benefit.

Cartlidge Morland have partnered with a leading provider so our corporate partners can offer discounted screenings to staff on a self-pay basis.

By investing in employee health screenings, organisations not only prioritise the health of their employees but also contribute to a culture of wellness, productivity, and longevity in the workplace. These initiatives not only benefit individual employees but also yield positive outcomes for the organisation as a whole.
