Employees prefer to work in an environment in which their physical and emotional wellbeing needs are recognised and met. That’s why in the modern workplace, employee wellbeing and health promotion initiatives are essential.

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 to stay fit and productive.

Drug & Alcohol

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 range of high quality products and services.

Events

Whether a stand-alone initiative or part of a corporate employee wellbeing event, we can provide health checks and advice via our mobile stands. Employees can come along at their convenience and have medical checks such as: blood pressure, peak flow, BMI assessment, and receive advice on medical concerns.

Although the above tests are not carried out in a confidential setting, 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.

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. We also have a range of health education literature on various conditions 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 is selected. There will be 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.
