Wellness
management for corporates
Sunitha
Ramakrishnan - Chennai
ApolloLife
has recently introduced its Corporate Wellness Management Program,
a comprehensive healthcare management program for enhancing the
overall productivity of employees and lowering medical expenses.
At the base of this concept lies the realisation that the health
of an individual is inescapably linked with his organisational health
and performance.
The
corporate healthcare solutions are offered through Apollos
Lifestyle Unit, headed by Prof. Adrian Kennedy and begin with the
PATHCLAPSCAN. This in short, stands for the Total Health Computerised
Lifestyle assessment and Prescription Scan, a non-invasive diagnostic
tool created to assess and correct lifestyle risk. The health scan
helps organisations assess the risk level of employees by making
them fill a simple questionnaire online with regard to their medical
history and lifestyle. The individual is assessed on 25 different
health parameters categorised as cardiac risk, body fitness and
physiological ageing, nutrition, stress, dependency. While every
employee gets an individual health prescription, the corporate gets
the overall health status. Other innovative programs - health and
weight management, stress reduction methods, quit-dependency prescriptions
- are also implemented to encourage employees to change their lifestyle
and adopt good health habits.
Both
the corporate client and its employees are immensely benefited from
this wellness management program. While the former can ensure reduction
in corporate health risks & costs and improve productivity of
its employees, the latter can avail personalised attention as also
be empowered to take charge of ones own health. Apollolife
is offering annual memberships to corporates for wellness management;
the services have already been rolled out in Hyderabad and Delhi,
other than Chennai. Some of the corporates who have already implemented
this program include, TISCO and Dr Reddys Labs, to name a
few.
