HEALTH, FITNESS AND WELLBEING ASSESSMENT

John Miller conducts a unique Health, Fitness and Wellbeing assessment.

He sits down with your staff, one-on-one and takes them through the Health, Fitness and Wellbeing profile.

HEALTH, FITNESS AND WELLBEING PROFILE

The Health, Fitness and Wellbeing profile provides people with a very good idea of how well the various systems of the body are functioning, particularly the

• the mind

• autonomic nervous system

• immune system

• digestive system

• circulatory system

• elimination system

• musculo-skeletal system.

Score

Your staff come away with a very good picture of the current status of their health, fitness and wellbeing.

They're given the opportunity to talk about their health and what they can do to improve it. They're given advice and encouraged to set goals.

It's a non-threatening, deceptively simple process and confidentiality is respected, absolutely.

ORGANISATIONAL HEALTH CLIMATE SURVEY

There are also benefits for the organisation in the form of a Health Climate Survey.

Without individual confidentiality being breached, I'll provide you with a short report that will look like this:

Classification of average scores: Excellent - less than 40. Good - 41 - 50. Fair 51-60. Poor - over 60.

When you look at this graph you'd be thinking, 'Hmmmmm, there's a few people here not in great shape.' Then you'd be thinking what this was doing to your productivity and your workers compensation premiums. People scoring more than 70 on the profile are having to put up with a lot of 'background noise'. It takes their mind off the job.

Symptoms, issues and concerns

In the table below I've registered those scores of 5 and over on the profile as being a symptom, issue or concern, the most pressing of which have been highlighted. Scores on each item have been ranked - the higher the score the worse the problem.

Symptoms/issues/concerns	% of people scoring over 5 Total number 85
Crook back, sore shoulders ...	61
Low level of fitness	48
Overweight by more than 10Kg	44	16 people 20Kg over-wt
Snoring, sleep apnoea	37
Lack of energy	33
Poor sleep	31
Under appreciated at work	29
Work-life balance	29
Reflux, unsettled stomach	26
Excessive alcohol intake	25
Elevated cholesterol	20	6 people on medication
Wrong job	20
Poor financial status	20
Elevated blood pressure	19	10 people on medication
Caffeine	19
Anxious	19
Headaches	17
Itchy, rashes, psoriasis	17
Shortness of breath from asthma	15
Unhappy family life	15
Irritable bowel, constipation etc	13
Frequent colds, flu, sinus	12
Smoking	12	7 people
Grinding teeth	11
Depressed	11	2 people on medication
Elevated glucose	10
Candida	8
Chest pain, palpitations	8
Mouth ulcers	5
Shakes, nervous mannerisms	2

hen you see a profile like this you've got something tangible to help you make decisions about which health, fitness and wellbeing issues need to be addressed in your workplace.

Without much bother I can measure blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol at the same time. A small percentage of your staff will not be aware that they have some sort of metabolic dysfunction - as measured by these symptoms.

So there you have it, a neatly packaged assessment which benefits your staff and your organisation.

Who provides the service?

I do it myself. I enjoy talking to people about their health, fitness and wellbeing and helping them to focus on the things they need to do to improve it.

The investment?

Send me an email and I'll talk to you about it.

It's a big ask expecting to stay healthy without keeping yourself fit.

It's a big ask expecting to get better by having someone do something to you; sooner or later you have to do something to yourself.
