Empowering workplace wellness: The role of health monitoring

Empowering workplace wellness: The role of health monitoring

Last updated: 15 December 2025

Many of us strive to stay healthy, fit, and active, especially as we age, so understanding how you can support your workforce and the role you can play in maintaining their health is essential. One of the best ways to do this is by giving them access to insights into their health through regular health assessments which allows them to participate in better health monitoring.

This enables them to take a proactive approach to managing their health, making smarter decisions about appropriate lifestyle changes or medical interventions that can prevent or reduce their risk of certain conditions – leading to a healthier workforce.

Below, we delve deeper into health monitoring, the benefits it offers, and how a health assessment from Bluecrest can help your workforce take a proactive approach to managing their health.

What is health monitoring?

Health monitoring is the regular evaluation of an individual's health through testing. The type and frequency of tests offered can vary, but generally, health monitoring is designed to offer insights into the risk of some of the most common chronic health conditions.

A general health assessment typically involves screening for common health conditions, like diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as monitoring related risk factors, like high BMI.

To be effective, health monitoring should be performed at least annually, so any existing conditions or risk factors can be monitored and also to see if any of preventative steps that have been taken are proving successful or if further intervention is needed. This gives individuals more control over their health, enabling them to make smart decisions that could potentially improve their longevity and enable them to stay fit, healthy and active for longer.

Benefits of regular health monitoring

The benefits of regular health monitoring are far-reaching, enabling smart decisions to be made and take a more targeted and proactive approach to managing long-term health.

Key benefits of annual health monitoring include:

  • Early detection of health conditions – an annual health check can help your employees to identify problems before they start to notice symptoms. This means they can seek more timely intervention which can lead to improved health outcomes and potentially reduce the amount of time off they need.
  • Prevention of certain health conditions – comparing health insights year on year enables your workforce to pick up any changes to their overall health and make smarter health decisions. This can help with managing existing conditions or preventing new conditions from developing by taking proactive actions to reduce their risk.
  • Improved knowledge of existing conditions – if they already have a chronic health condition, such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease, annual health checks allow for closer monitoring, enabling them to better understand, evaluate and adjust their treatment as required and have better management of their condition.
  • Smart lifestyle changes – knowing more about their health can help your employees make informed decisions about lifestyle changes they could make to reduce their risk of certain health conditions. In addition, regular health monitoring ensures they can evaluate the effect of these changes year after year.
  • Peace of mind – regular health monitoring can offer reassurance that all is well with their health.
  • Investment in their future - health monitoring can be a worthwhile investment into the future health of your workforce by offering a cost-effective way to help them track and monitor their health and wellbeing.

    Top tips for managing high cholesterol

    Multiple factors can contribute to high cholesterol levels. Some of these factors are non-modifiable, like your genes, age, or ethnicity, which means you can’t do anything to change them. However, other factors can be changed, so you can take proactive steps to help reduce your cholesterol levels.
