Health and Wellness Screening / Programmes are initiatives organised to promote better health and fitness levels for employees.

Health screenings are often held annually, the results of which enable employees to track their health and fitness levels over time. This scheme is often coupled with workhealth promotion programmes whereby useful information is shared to help employees lead a healthier lifestyle.

Other activities include lunchtime health seminars to exercise classes, interest groups as well as participation in national / international marathons and competitions. Some organisations provide gym membership or subsidies with gyms within close proximity of their office locations. Other organisations opt for a similar approach by having an in-house gym themselves and providing the facilities for their employees.
