What is a Helix Health Check?

Helix Health Checks are a simple, effective way to support your employees’ health while gaining meaningful insight into workforce wellbeing.

Delivered onsite during work hours by qualified health professionals, these confidential checks help your people identify potential health risks early — and show your organisation genuinely cares about their wellbeing.

What is included in a Helix Health Check?

Our standard health check includes:

  • A digital lifestyle and health questionnaire
  • Blood pressure and heart rate
  • Cholesterol and HbA1c (diabetes risk)
  • Body composition
  • Vision screening
  • Hearing and lung function screening is also available upon request.

Employees receive immediate, personalised feedback and practical next steps, making it easy to take action straight away.

Please note that a health check is a screening tool and is not a replacement for Occupational Health Monitoring.

Why employees take part

Health checks are designed to remove common barriers to participation:

  • Fast, confidential, and convenient
  • No cost to employees
  • No time required outside work hours
  • Clear results that they can act on immediately

This leads to strong engagement and positive employee experiences. After their health check, employees receive a personalised report that clearly outlines their results, highlights any risk areas, and suggests practical next steps.

Employees also have secure portal access, allowing them to view their results and track progress over time. All information is presented in clear, easy-to-understand language without medical jargon so people feel informed, confident, and empowered to take action.

Benefits for your organisation

Health checks support both your people and your business. For employers, Helix Health Checks provide:

  • Aggregated, anonymised insights into workforce health trends
  • Data to help guide wellbeing initiatives
  • A visible way to demonstrate care for employees
  • Better understanding of the link between wellbeing and productivity

Wellbeing becomes measurable, practical, and easier to act on rather than just a tick-box exercise.

Why choose Helix Health Checks

Helix Health Checks are fully managed and delivered onsite, making them easy to run during the workday with minimal disruption. Employees receive immediate, personalised results that support early action and informed next steps.

For employers, health checks provide meaningful insights into workforce wellbeing without adding administrative burden. The programme is simple to implement across workplaces of all sizes and is backed by UniMed, combining trusted healthcare expertise with practical, real-world workplace delivery.

I only went to last year’s free health check because it was another thing to tick off. The results showed I was carrying extra weight and running on high stress. That wake-up call got me to start small by walking with a mate, then building up from there.
