Employee Wellbeing

Employees prefer to work in an environment where their physical and emotional wellbeing needs are recognised and met. That’s why in the modern workplace, employee wellbeing and health promotion initiatives are so important. At MOHS, we provide our clients with a range of wellbeing services that help them keep their workforce at their best.

Wellbeing events

Whether a stand-alone initiative or part of a corporate employee wellbeing event, our team of Occupational Health Advisors and Technicians regularly support clients’ health promotion and wellbeing requirements. We host sessions at clients’ sites focusing on all areas of wellbeing including mental and physical health, diet and lifestyle choices and understanding testicular and breast self-examinations. These types of sessions are designed to encourage staff to take a proactive approach to managing their own health, which is particularly useful for supporting at-risk sections of your workforce and helping ageing workforces stay fit and productive.

Health checks 

We provide a suite of health checks for employees including cholesterol screening, blood sugar (diabetes) screening, blood pressure, BMI measurement, peak flow and lung function assessments. We also can supply advice on common health concerns such as hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes, heart conditions, quitting smoking, healthier eating, exercise, reducing alcohol and preventing drug abuse. Employees are usually happy to have these checks done in the company of colleagues and often will compare readings. However, it may be advisable to have a room available should any employee be concerned about their results or prefer to discuss any medical concerns in private. Alongside the tests, we have a range of health education literature on various conditions that we make available to employees.

Physiotherapy 

We provide referrals to qualified Occupational Physiotherapists across the UK, all of whom are checked for clinical governance and quality standards. Following the referral, a physiotherapy clinic closest to the employee’s workplace or home will be selected. There is an initial assessment with a report, followed by a maximum of five further assessments. If additional sessions are required, a case management review is held before any further sessions are booked. Emphasis is on providing ‘fit for work’ assessments. The patient will also be offered advice on how to manage their condition more effectively, for example exercising at home, plus postural and ergonomic advice.

Drug and alcohol testing

Random drug and alcohol testing serves as an effective tool for promoting a safe and productive work environment. In most cases, drug testing is undertaken using a rapid urine test which will give a qualitative result within a few minutes. Alcohol screening takes the form of a breath test. Any positive result will normally be sent on to a laboratory for confirmation or results and to rule out false positives.

Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) 

MOHS does not directly offer EAPs, but we work with a local provider Paycare, who offer a variety of high quality products and services.
