			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For well over a decade, research studies have been showing the effectiveness of Corporate Health Promotion Programs. For every dollar spent on Corporate Health Promotion Programs, the returns have been cost savings of between $2.30 and $10.10 in the areas of decreased rates of absence, fewer sick days, decreased WSIB/WCB claims, lowered health and insurance costs, and improvements to staff member performance and productivity.</p>

• British Columbia Hydro workers enrolled in a Company Health and Wellness Program had a turnover rate of just 3.5% compared with a Corporation average of 10.3%,<br />
• Johnson &amp; Johnson estimated an average saving of U.S. $224.66 per staff member per year for the four years examined after the program introduction, with the bulk of the savings being in the third and fourth years,<br />
• Pacific Bell reported that overall rates of absence decreased after implementing a Corporate Health Promotion Program,<br />
• Coca Cola report saving $500 every year per staff member after implementing a Corporate Health Promotion Program, with only 60% of their workers participating,<br />
• Coors Brewing Co. reported that for every dollar spent on their Company Health and Wellness Program they saw a $5.50 return, and the workers who participated decreased their absentee rate by 18%, and<br />
• Prudential Insurance Company reported that the benefits costs for workers participating in their program were $312, as opposed to $574 for non-participants</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Onsite Employee Health Screening means better heath risk assessment baselines and better security</p>
<p>“Onsite Employee Health Screening” is a hot phrase these days, but it can help your staff members with health management, too. When the pundits talk about Onsite Employee Health Screening, they’re usually referring to retinal scanners, fingerprint readers, and other high-tech security measures. However, if you trace the phrase “Onsite Employee Health Screening” back to its roots, it refers to the measurement of unique human physical and behavioral characteristics.</p>
<p>Corporate Health Promotion Initiatives are of imperative importance to the modern business. As a result, Onsite Employee Health Screening should be one of the tools in the arsenal of a forward-thinking organization.</p>
<p>Worksite Health Screenings aren’t just a “feel-good” measure for your staff members. Assessments of employee health help your workers to prioritize their well-being, which results in happier, more productive staff members. Health Risk Assessments / Health Risk Appraisals also build your database of employee biometric data. Onsite Employee Health Screening, when handled worksite by our experienced professionals, is hassle-free and smoothly organized. The biometric data we collect then can be stored digitally for years or even decades, helping you and your staff members build better health risk assessment baselines that you can use to assess staff members fitness and the efficacy of your corporation&#8217;s Health and Productivity Programs. Collected biometric data can even allow an employee’s doctor to assess that individual’s health over many years, helping him or her spot trends and diagnose disease.</p>
<p>Onsite Employee Health Screening extends to a wide variety of health risk tests, including measurements of blood pressure, blood type, body fat, substance abuse, and susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. Collecting biometric data for security purposes &#8211; like fingerprints, facial recognition imprints, or hand geometry &#8211; can be dovetailed with our health tests to minimize workflow disruption.</p>
