Pre-employment, Periodic & Basic Health Checks

Healthcare Connections can assist in the drawing up of company policies on employee medicals. For new entrants, for example, we would propose that these medicals are split into non-safety critical, eg. clerical and administration staff and safety critical staff. This will ensure that you collate the appropriate information for each specific job role. As this is also specific to the type of industry involved, we will work closely with you to establish suitable parameters in which to base each type of medical.

A complete pre-employment or periodic (for example bi-annual) medical assessment and report as appropriate, includes a drug/alcohol screen. In many business sectors a pre-employment screen is considered to be ‘the norm’. Keeping regular checks on employee health, via a periodic medical, to ensure the safety of the workforce, and the general public, is a key requirement in certain safety critical industries.

It is important to know the health of a potential workforce in advance, particularly in safety critical industries and as an on-going measure. A cost-effective medical screening programme can work alongside your internal recruitment process to provide you with a seamless route to final appointment and maintain workforce health and wellbeing beyond that. Importantly, the pre-employment screening is scheduled in for you before the onward cost of training and employee set up is incurred; saving you both valuable time and money.

Once you have an employee, you want to keep them and by offering a periodic screening programme, not only are you caring for the health of your employee and therefore your business, but you are also providing your employee with an attractive and considerate benefit.

Our programmes can additionally work hand-in-hand with our full occupational health monitoring, paper-based health questionnaires and the basic health checks, as necessary.
