Overview

Workplace Health Screening is a very cost-effective way to create a healthier future for your employees and empower them to fulfil the needs of your organisation.   HealthWatch is Ireland’s leading independent provider of Health Screening Programmes in the workplace and has been a pioneer of these programs for almost 20 years. HealthWatch merged with Healthcare Screening Ireland in 2018 and the team now brings with it over 35 years’ experience to the market. 

Knowledge of any health risk factors, especially the silent risk factors that people may not be aware of which could potentially create problems in the future, is the first step towards a healthier life. Health screening is without doubt an important tool in this process.
However for many people finding the spare time to have a health check-up can be impossible. Not only is Workplace Health Screening the answer for time poor people but it can also have a positive effect on your business as a whole.

Benefits for

Employers

In today’s corporate environment, increasing pressures and
occupational demands can have a negative effect on your employee’s
health and in turn your company’s bottom line. Workplace initiatives
that encourage good health, such as employee health and lifestyle
screening, are proven to have a positive effect on many aspects
of your business by helping to:

  • Retain of staff in an increasingly competitive employment market
  • Increase Productivity by between 2% and 52%
  • Decrease Short-term Sick Leave by between 7% and 32%
  • Reduce direct and indirect costs of absenteeism such as the
    hiring of temporary staff, overtime payments, and the effect on
    work quality and the increased work pressure on colleagues
 

Providing a Health Screening Programme for your employees shows
that the organisation cares about their welfare. This in turn fosters
employee commitment and work satisfaction. It also helps to create a
positive corporate image which can help attract and retain a talented
workforce.
