Why get a health assessment?
A health assessment may indicate areas of your lifestyle that require improvement in order to prevent ill-health and disease. This is likely to give you the motivation to improve your lifestyle and exercise more. A health assessment is the first step towards promoting a healthier, more active lifestyle.
The Scottish Health Survey shows that most people in Scotland are not active enough:
- 72% of women and 69% of men are not active enough for health
- This scale of inactivity makes it the most common risk factor for coronary heart disease in Scotland (more than smoking and obesity)
- Even among children, 27% of boys and 40% of girls are not active enough for health
Why is health of employees important to a company?
The Scottish Health Survey (1998) suggests that 68% of all 6-74 year olds in Scotland are considered to be inactive. Given the increased risk of ill-health that inactivity brings companies are likely to suffer. Time of work due to ill-health will decease productivity ad may cost the company in health insurance policies.
By increasing the activity levels and health of the workforce, companies can:
- Reduce the number of days lost due to ill-health
- Promote well being and increased productivity, maximising profits
- Reduce stress related illness through exersize
- Promote the image of the company
As taxpayers we could all benefit form an increase in health. By reducing inactivity from 69-49%, 3.5million could be saved due to falling admissions in the health service.
