Aviva UK Health has launched MyHealthCounts for Business, which it describes as an innovative health risk assessment programme that can provide employers with a tangible return within one year.
The programme is designed to help companies with 250 or more employees control their sickness-absence costs and gain a clearer understanding of the health of their staff. It offers a range of tools to help employers tackle their company’s key health risk areas and encourage their employees to take pro-active steps to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Using the Q Score system that underpins Aviva’s individual MyHealthCounts service, the new programme for business is said to give companies access to a wide range of reports and insights to help them identify their business’s key health risks. It also recommends appropriate interventions to help them effectively manage and improve their employees’ health, adds Aviva.
Employees complete an online health and lifestyle questionnaire to discover how healthy they are compared to 100 other people of the same age and gender. Their Q Score is based on personal health information, including BMI, resting heart rate, cholesterol level, blood pressure, and lifestyle factors, such as smoking, drinking and exercise.
Employers then receive a detailed report that show them how many people have participated in the programme. Aviva says the employee date is aggregated and anonymised to provide a comprehensive picture of their company’s health risk areas and improvements.
