Benefits of Keeping Your Employees’ Hearts Healthy
Early detection of heart issues stands as the key benefit of workplace heart health check programs. Beyond the safeguarding of your team’s health, our assessments offer additional advantages by:
Improved Employee Morale:
A workplace heart check program demonstrates a proactive approach by employers or management. Employees appreciate when employers care about their health and well-being, boosting morale and trust.
Employee Health Education:
By offering workplace heart checks, companies not only empower their workforce with knowledge about cardiovascular health and early detection of heart problems but also enhance workplace safety and health awareness.
Reduced Absenteeism:
Reduce employee absenteeism by incorporating heart checks into the workplace health program. By providing early detection, employees can receive timely treatment, often preventing conditions from progressing to a point of major discomfort or requiring extended medical leave.
Does your workplace have healthy hearts?
While providing workplace heart health checks can target most of the modifiable risk factors for heart disease, giving some attention to heart health and providing education on prevention can be an important wake-up call for many high-risk employees. Here are a few other ways you can support a heart-smart workplace:
Implement a smoking cessation program: Smokers and those who inhale second-hand smoke in the workplace are significantly more likely to develop heart disease. Make your workplace smoke-free and provide information and support to encourage smokers to quit.
Support healthy weight management: Too much body fat, especially around the waist area, not only increases the risk of heart disease, but also some of the other contributing factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol. Support employees in maintaining a healthy weight by encouraging a healthy diet and providing opportunities for regular exercise.
Provide education on healthy living: The risk of heart disease can be significantly lowered by living a heart healthy lifestyle. In addition to smoking cessation and weight management, this includes getting active, getting good quality sleep, and following a heart healthy diet. A heart healthy diet is naturally low in saturated and trans fats, salt and added sugar but rich in wholegrains, fibre, antioxidants, and unsaturated fats.

Heart Health Check Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a workplace heart check?
A workplace heart health check is a confidential, individual health assessment that is designed to give your employees a clear understanding of their current heart health status and their risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Why should my workplace offer Heart Health Checks?
Offering these heart checks demonstrates your commitment to public health and employee wellbeing, helping to identify at-risk individuals early, and provides them with the knowledge and resources to make healthier workplace and lifestyle choices. This can lead to a team of healthier, more productive members, and potentially reduced absenteeism.
What does a Heart Health Check involve for an employee?
Each check involves a personal and confidential assessment of essential risk factors. This typically includes measurements like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar, alongside discussions about lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, smoking habits, and family history. Employees receive immediate feedback and resources tailored to their individual risk profile.
What support do employees receive after their check?
Employees receive personalised advice and resources based on their results. This can include educational materials on healthy eating and exercise, recommendations for follow-up with their GP, and guidance on managing identified risk factors. Our goal is to empower them to take actionable steps towards better heart health.
