Future heart attack, stroke and long-term absence
Office, remote and call-centre employees
Priority conditions include:
These commonly affect concentration, typing, screen work, decision-making, communication, attendance and the ability to work continuously.
On-site, industrial, mining and construction employees
Priority conditions include:
The business consequences can include accidents, slower physical work, incorrect equipment use, exposure-related illness, prolonged absence and compensation or operational costs.
Road-based, delivery and travelling employees
Priority conditions include:
These conditions can reduce reaction time, judgement, alertness and driving ability, increasing accident risk, delivery delays, vehicle costs and liability exposure.
Healthcare, frontline and customer-facing employees
Priority conditions include:
These may affect attendance, communication, patient or customer service, infection control, decision-making and emotional resilience.
Personal and eligibility-based conditions
Certain conditions should be screened according to age, sex, symptoms, pregnancy, family history and consent:
How health conditions reduce profit
The 100+ conditions (that we screen for) can affect profit through:
1.Presenteeism:
2. Absenteeism:
3. Errors and rework:
4. Safety incidents:
5. Operational disruption:
6. Employee turnover:
7. Healthcare costs:
8. Customer impact:
9. Loss of skills:
10. Compliance and reputational risk:
Core screening for all employees + work-environment screening + role-specific screening + personal eligibility screening.
This allows H360 WHIP to identify which health risks are most likely to affect each department’s productivity, safety, attendance and financial performance, without screening every employee for every condition unnecessarily.
