Preventive health check: Identify risks and improve wellbeing

Are you one of those people who rarely go to the doctor? Even if you have a few things you'd like to get checked? Well, you're not alone. In fact, some evidence suggests that men are less likely to go to the doctor than women. But what if it was possible to have important health parameters checked where you already spend a large part of your everyday life - at work?

This is where a health check comes in.

What is a health check?

A health check is a way to take preventive action for the health of your workplace and it allows you to identify potential risks and problems before they grow bigger.

Not only is it a chance to catch early symptoms of diseases, but it also allows us to take control of our health and make proactive changes to our lifestyle that can prevent diseases from occurring in the first place.

What does a health check include?

Ahealth check can include a number of physical measurements, including blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels, BMI (Body Mass Index), body fat percentage and fitness. These tests give us an in-depth insight into the state of our body and can reveal potential risks such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and more.

But overall health is not limited to physical measurements, mental health is also very important. Therefore, the importance of mental health should not be forgotten in our preventive health checks. Stress, anxiety and depression in today's society can and do have serious consequences for our wellbeing. But here, too, preventive measures can have a big impact.

The Health Check at Health Group

At Health Group, we take health checks seriously. Our consultants take the time to review both physical and mental health in an understandable, safe and of course completely anonymous way where employees feel seen and heard. We are also good at providing guidance, and this always takes place with the employee at the center. This creates the best framework for employees to take care of their own health. It also reduces the risk of making big plans that are not sustainable in the long run.

Preventive health checks can benefit from ongoing follow-up. It's a process that can be repeated regularly to keep track of our health development. This way, it is possible to take action in good time and talk about where you can take action yourself. At the same time, a health check reinforces the individual employee's motivation to improve their lifestyle and health. The employee gets knowledge and advice about their health status and the company finds out where they can potentially gain the most from taking action.

Preventive health checks are a valuable investment in our health and well-being. By identifying potential risks and making proactive changes to our lifestyle, we can prevent many diseases and maintain a high quality of life. By participating in regular health checks, we can prioritize our health and well-being by taking responsibility for our own health.
