1) Provide assessment activities
A health assessment helps determine how unhealthy or healthy your employees are. This can take the form of a health screening where people get their height, weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure checked to help them learn about their health risks. It also can include a computerized analysis called a health risk appraisal. This consists of a confidential questionnaire that asks employees how often they smoke or drink alcohol, how much they weigh, how tall they are, if they have a family history of heart disease or cancer, etc. All of this information is then compared to other people of the same age, race and sex.
These assessment activities provide the company with a baseline of the health of their work force. They also might motivate an employee to make lifestyle changes.
