Inchcape Fleet Solutions staff offered chance of health-screening during work time

Inchcape Fleet Solutions has introduced a health-screening programme for its employees.

The company has launched a range of health benefits to encourage better care of health among the workforce. Part of this involves encouraging staff to have an hour-long health check on site. The health screenings carried out by Screenetics are non-invasive, and are conducted fully clothed.  
 
A set of tests look at all the common causes of long-term illness. As part of the session, employees also have a lifestyle assessment and an action plan to help maintain good health. Results can be accessed and tracked online confidentially.   
Kerry Howard, HR director, Inchcape Fleet Solutions, said: "We are keen to show our employees how important their wellbeing is to us. Because everyone is busy, the tests take place during work time so it’s simple for employees to have their health checked and then return to work. We are certain that this screening approach will help ensure that we give our employees the information they need to better maintain their health now and in the future. That can only be good news for us where productivity and absenteeism are concerned."
