Health Screenings/Health Fairs

Health screenings are an effective way of educating employees as to their current health status, and also for providing management with an aggregate analysis of the current health status and risks of its employee population.

In addition to early detection of illness, worksite health screenings are also a low-cost, high-profile way to enlist employees in improving their health. Some employees avoid preventive medical care and miss the opportunity to address the behaviors that cause chronic illness, like inactivity, obesity and tobacco use. Worksite screenings can also identify employees with these lifestyle risks, where a nurse or health educator can counsel that individual on the consequences of his or her choices and make available opportunities to help him or her change. Particularly when part of a broader health promotion program, this type of direct medical contact can successfully motivate employees to change their behavior.

Health fairs, which can include health screenings, and generally include the vendors of your health program, are an effective way of educating your employees as to the features and benefits available to them through their health and wellness program.
