Workplace Preventive Health Screening Initiative - Experience from Shri Balaji Enterprises
By Ruchita Yadav.
Abstract
Background
Preventive health screening in non-medical workplaces remains limited despite high burden of non-communicable diseases.
Methods
We led a voluntary employee health and wellness program at Shri Balaji Enterprises from 09 September 2022 to 23 April 2023. Structured wellness awareness sessions were organised covering hypertension, diabetes, and preventive health benefits. Employee participation was tracked and facilitated for basic health check-ups in collaboration with local health facilities.
Results
Around 30 employees were covered at Shri Balaji Enterprises. Participation in wellness activities improved from 40% at baseline to 80% at end of program. Multiple awareness sessions were conducted. Early identification and referral for hypertension and elevated blood sugar risk was facilitated in a subset of employees.
