Maintaining good physical health is an important part of overall wellbeing. This section of the Healthy Workplaces website provides information and resources to support employees in understanding their health, recognising early warning signs of illness, and accessing trusted information on prevention, screening, and health checks.
Regular health checks and early detection can play a key role in preventing illness and improving health outcomes. Many common health conditions, including heart disease, cancers, and respiratory conditions, can be managed more effectively when identified early. Encouraging employees to stay informed about their health and seek medical advice when needed can help support healthier workplaces and communities.
Workplaces can support physical health by sharing reliable resources, promoting screening programmes where appropriate, and raising awareness of key health issues that affect both men and women at different stages of life.
This areas provides selection of resources and topics related to physical health and preventative health checks.
