Health Appraisals

A FitSense health appraisal is a confidential and expert audit of an employee's health and fitness status. It is conducted by a tertiary qualified exercise physiologist and serves to highlight any health and fitness risk areas an employee may have as well as providing realistic and practical guidance on how health and fitness behaviours can be improved. Each employee receives a full report on the results of their appraisal and expert advice on how to make positive health and fitness changes and choices. Appropriate referrals to other health and medical professionals may also be made at this time. A FitSense health appraisal provides employees with an opportunity to get a snapshot of their current health and fitness status, set health and fitness goals, and be provided with the tools to start achieving them.

At an organisation level, FitSense is able to provide an organisation with statistical feedback on the health of its employees (by division/location), comment on trends and make recommendations for how the organisation may continue to contribute to the improvement of the health and fitness of its employees. This information and the partnership formed between an organisation and FitSense makes the delivery of a corporate wellness program much more strategic and effective.
