FitSense Australia has recently have a lot of interest in the provision of mini health assessments to employees. In the past we have been reluctant to provide these and we have not considered them comprehensive enough to optimally benefit participants. However, based on our experiences this year we now feel that mini health assessments are a great way of creating health awareness for employees.

Mini health assessments are 10 to 15 minutes in length and cover key health characteristics such as body composition, BP, cholesterol levels and diabetes risk. The beauty of the mini health assessment is that it is a cheap and effective way of creating awareness for a large number of staff. It can be delivered in a private room as per standard assessment, but it can also be delivered as part of the health expo.

But this reason it is now something that FitSense Australia recommends to organisations interested in offering a health check but without the time or financial resources to do something more thorough.
