Over the past four to five years, our employee healthcheck programme has made a significant impact on the wellbeing of the staff at Baerlocher UK, a leading plastics manufacturing company with around 40 employees. Our comprehensive health assessments, which cover cardiovascular health, lifestyle, mental health, and more, have not only fostered a healthier workforce but have also contributed to a more productive and engaged work environment.
Programme Overview
Our annual healthchecks involve thorough evaluations of various health metrics, including blood pressure, height, weight, and mood scores. We have recently added blood tests for common conditions such as cancer screening and nutritional deficiencies, which have been extremely well received. Follow-up sessions are provided for employees with identified health issues, ensuring that they receive the necessary support and guidance.
Employee Participation and Engagement
Approximately 75% of Baerlocher UK employees participate in our healthcheck programme annually. This high level of engagement demonstrates the trust and value that the employees place in the programme. By providing personalised health insights and interventions, we have created a culture of health awareness and proactive management.
Outcomes and Benefits
The feedback from Baerlocher UK staff has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly regarding our mental health support services. Employees have reported that early access to counselling and other treatments has been instrumental in addressing their mental health concerns promptly. Although we are still gathering comprehensive data on sickness absence, the anecdotal evidence suggests a reduction in health-related absences and an improvement in overall employee wellbeing.
Some notable success stories include cases where employees have received critical early interventions for high blood pressure and mental health issues. These interventions have not only improved individual health outcomes but have also enhanced workplace morale and productivity.
Future Enhancements
We are committed to continuously improving and expanding our healthcheck programme. This year, the introduction of blood testing has added significant value to our services. Looking ahead, we aim to offer specific health assessments and advice related to menopause, men’s health, and other specialised areas. These additions will further support the diverse health needs of Baerlocher UK employees, ensuring they receive comprehensive and tailored health care.
Conclusion
Our employee healthcheck programme has had a profound and positive effect on Baerlocher UK. By promoting a proactive approach to health and wellbeing, we have helped create a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce. We look forward to building on this success and continuing to support Baerlocher UK in fostering a culture of health and wellness.
