Create an employee health fair
Employers looking for ways to reduce health care expenses and improve the general welfare of their employees should consider having health fairs at their worksites.
Employee wellness events are a cost-effective way to focus on employee health. They allow companies to gather valuable health and demographic information for disease prevention, to educate employees, and to help them recognize and manage their own health issues.
“A company wellness fair is a great way to introduce wellness initiatives, alert employees to their own health risks and show that you care about employee health,” said Jennifer Carmack, Director of Physicians Quality Care OCCMed.
Health fairs also have other benefits. They provide an opportunity for such things as flu shots, demonstrations on how to lift properly or tips to prepare a healthy meal. A well-run health fair could have “stations” or booths on a variety of topics, offer demonstrations and include outside vendors, such as the American Red Cross.
“We’ll help you customize your company’s health fair to fit your needs,” said Carmack.
In conjunction with your individualized health fair, Physicians Quality Care OCCMed, in compliance with HIPAA and privacy regulations, will compile your employees’ health information into a generalized corporate health report to allow you to identify and manage health problems within your organization.
