Health Surveillance

The purpose of the Health Assessment is to baseline an employee’s heath and identify any health issues which could affect the health and well-being of an employee within the workplace and to identify any measures which can be put in place to minimise the effect. Evidence suggests healthy employees have a more fulfilling work life balance.

The Health Assessment is used to assess an employee’s fitness to carry out all aspects of their job role, or to determine any reasonable adjustments, that may be necessary if they have a pre – existing health condition, or any health condition which is likely to come under the terms of the Equality Act 2010.
