EMPOWER EMPLOYEE WELLNESS WITH COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS FROM CAREPLUS INTERNATIONAL CLINICS

Not just about salary and bonuses, employees are increasingly seeking more practical benefits in a positive work environment. Among these, what were once considered "extras" such as periodic health check-ups and mental wellness care are now top priorities, especially in today’s volatile economy. So, what should HR leaders do to maintain benefits and optimize the employee experience? Let’s explore solutions for workforce healthcare to maximize productivity with CarePlus International Clinics in the article below! 

 1/ Employee Health Status in Q2/2024 

According to internal statistics, in Q2/2024, CarePlus noted that employees from participating companies undergoing periodic health check-ups had high rates of dental and eye issues. 

 - Oral Health Issues: 

Among the total employees having health screening at CarePlus, 93% were found to have dental problems. Most of these cases involved gingivitis, tooth decay, or unerupted wisdom teeth that need early treatment to prevent complications like tooth decay, infection, or bite misalignment. 

 - Eye & ENT Issues: 

 As most corporate employees receiving medical examination at CarePlus during this period were office workers, eye-related disorders such as myopia, astigmatism, dry eyes, and screen-induced visual syndrome were still prevalent at 71%. 

Additionally, from April to July, thanks to more stable weather conditions, the incidence of ENT diseases dropped to 43%. However, it’s still advisable to wear a mask when outdoors, quit smoking (if applicable), and maintain daily ear-nose-throat hygiene. Getting flu vaccination is also an effective preventative measure. 

- Overweight & Obesity: 

In Q2/2024, of the total employees screened, 72% had a normal BMI, 5% were underweight, and 23% were classified as overweight or obese. Notably, 5% had a BMI > 30 (obesity level 2 or higher) and needed consultations with a nutritionist for personalized dietary and exercise plans. 

 - Hypertension: 

Hypertension accounted for 9%, a 2% increase from Q1/2024, mainly due to stress from work-life pressures, white-coat syndrome, or hypertension-related diseases. These cases need regular consultation and monitoring by a specialist. This is also a warning sign of workplace stress that lmanagers should be mindful of. 

 - Breast Lesions: 

 According to imaging results, 17% of female employees participating in periodic check-ups at CarePlus were found to have breast lesions. Regular monitoring with an Obstetrics and Gynecology doctor, and procedures like ultrasounds, mammograms (for breast lesions), and biopsies (for both breast and thyroid lesions) will help provide more accurate diagnoses.
