Employee health screening (or ‘lifestyle assessment’) can be used to help identify potential risk factors for future poor health and areas to focus on in order to optimise wellbeing. As an organisation’s employees are its most important asset, it makes sense to do what can be done to detect illness, where possible, and to promote a healthy lifestyle.
