Biometrics can make a significant difference.
Biometric screenings are a way to protect employees from potential health risks, which in turn reduces the overall healthcare costs for your company. Between work, family, and extracurricular activities, people lead busy lives. These on-site screenings, provided by employers, allow employees to fit this vital check-up into their regular workday.
After results are finalized, your employees will be provided with a detailed report of their testing results and descriptions of any associated risks. If an employee is considered at-risk in any of the tested categories, he or she will be given a list of those risks, how to rectify them, and which healthcare providers to see to begin treatment of their issues.
Healthy People Cost Less and Are More Productive
Healthy people cost nearly $4,000 less per year, are more productive, and contribute more to the performance of your company. Incentivizing and helping people stay healthy is key to your bottom line. Offering on-site wellness programs is one of the most convenient and effective ways a company can help employees understand their health risks and make better choices about their lifestyle. As an employer, knowing more about the prevalent health risks in your organization can help you not only save time and money, but also develop wellness strategies and deliver motivating programs.
