From improving employee health benefits to offering on-site workplace health options, many organizations are beginning to understand the importance of employee health and its direct impact on the company. One way that employers are encouraging employees to monitor their personal health is by offering biometric health screenings. Offered as an on-site workplace screening, biometric health screenings give participants immediate results and feedback that educate and motivate them to set and meet health goals; this can lead to reduced healthcare costs and positive behavioral changes. But what else can biometric health screenings do for your organization? Let’s find out.

What do Biometric Health Screenings Measure?
Biometric health screenings are short examinations that include bloodwork and measurement of the following: HDL and calculated LDL, blood sugar, total cholesterol, cholesterol ratio, triglycerides, blood pressure, pulse rate, pulse rhythm, body fat, body mass index, height, weight, self-reported exercise habits and nicotine use, health risk assessment, and a wallet card of results (a complete metabolic panel can also be ordered).
The purpose of a biometric health screening is to establish a health baseline to evaluate risk for future health issues. OnSite Health will evaluate the results from the biometric screening and provide necessary information and strategies to improve the individual’s health. Our on-site nurses work alongside employees to improve their health through health and nutrition counseling, workplace health seminars, and more. An on-site nurse is not only a part of the workplace for safety and first aid, but can also serve as a wealth of information on improving employee health.
In addition to keeping employees healthy and aware, we use this information to inform employers on the health of their employees. Employers will not receive individual results but will see an aggregate report of the data overall allowing them the opportunity to improve workplace health benefits to meet the needs of all staff.
