YDM has designed an ‘entry level’ company Health and Wellbeing programme called ‘Steps to Wellbeing’. The programme can be set up incrementally and in a way that suits any budget size and organisation.
The programme is a three step programme run by health professionals and health coaches. The entire programme is overseen by our clinical director:
The three steps are as follows:
Step 1 – Introducing a health promotion campaign - this is the baseline of any health programme for your organisation:
- Introductory presentation - YDM would do a presentation to Staff and management, designed in conjunction with the Company. We would introduce the campaign in a way the meets the Company aims and ethos.
- Preventative Health Portal - We would also build a Company branded and customised Preventative Health portal with a login page on the Company website.Each member of staff and all the management would be issued with a confidential login ID and an introductory email with the Company’s message about the Health portal.
- Wellness Checkpoint - We would also introduce our Online Health Management and Health coaching system to the staff. This is a completely confidential, personalised, password-protected system to enable each member of staff to get insight into and coaching about their personal health and wellbeing.
- Progress report - We can also look at the grouped data for the whole Company in an anonymous format and issue reports and analysis to show the results of the health and wellbeing programme. This is an option for the Company and is not compulsory
Step 2 – Providing ongoing Health support
YDM would provide ongoing support to engage the Company staff and the managment in the programme The campaign will also prepare and engage them in the idea that the organisation is interested in enabling them to look after their health and wellbeing:
- YDM would run a Health and Wellbeing email campaign, designed specifically for the Company and it’s needs.
- This would include Newsletters packed full of information, special offers and health and wellbeing promotions aimed at raising awareness and promoting health and wellbeing.
- We would also run a ‘pigeon steps’ campaign for the first 16 weeks of the programme. A regular Monday morning health and wellbeing tip email to encourage people to take small changes to lead to larger changes.
- We would also remind the staff of the benefits and how to use their online health management and coaching system. This would be as part of both the newsletter and ‘pigeon steps’ campaign.
Step 3 – Health engagement
There are several options for this next stage:
Option 1 – Onsite health checks
A health professional would come to the Company and provide biometric health checks for all staff.
- Blood pressure, weight & height (BMI), Waist: Hip ratio measurements, body & visceral fat estimation, skeletal muscle estimation and resting metabolism measurement using bio-impedance testing. The basic test would take between 10 and 20 minutes per person. Our staff would need a private room to undertake this and with two staff. The time this would take would vary according to the number of staff needing to be assessed.
- We could also add optional blood tests to this screen. Glucose and Cholesterol venous blood tests.
Option 2 – Interactive health seminar
In addition to the health checks we can carry out an interactive health seminar.
Usually this is carried out following a biometric health check programme. It involves an evening/or daytime meeting where a health professional would host a discussion and Q&A session on several health topics, including explaining all the components of the biometric health check. The Company can then select 2-3 other topics from a variety of options.
Option 3 – A Health Fair
This is a cost effective option which offers components of option 1 and 2.
- YourDoc Medical will come to a central location in your Company building and provide a health professional plus a health coach to be on site for a health promotion day or day(s).
- The day would include biometric health assessments for as many staff as possible, as well as provision of educational leaflets and information.
- We have a pre-designed format for the day but are happy to design the discussion topics to suit your organisation.
All the programmes are 12 month programmes.
