Health and Wellbeing
Workplace wellbeing is more important than ever. In today’s fast-paced and demanding work environment, employees face increasing pressures that can negatively impact their physical, mental, and emotional health. Without the right support, these challenges can lead to higher absenteeism, lower engagement, and even decreased productivity.
At Peritus Health Management, we provide tailored, evidence-based wellbeing programs that help your employees manage these pressures effectively. By prioritising their health, you’ll see improved performance, higher retention rates, and a thriving, more resilient workforce, driving long-term success for your organisation.
Health and Lifestyle Screening
Assessing the key indicators of physical and mental health in employees, and tailored to your specific requirements, health and lifestyle screening helps to identify potential risks early and ensures that employees are in optimal health to perform their roles.
Packages include:
Know Your Numbers (Cardiovascular Checks)
“Know Your Numbers” is an essential step in understanding and managing your heart health. This simple, non-invasive cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment helps you identify key factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar, which are crucial in assessing your likelihood of developing heart disease.
By knowing these vital numbers, we can support your employees in taking proactive steps to improve their heart health, whether through lifestyle changes, diet, exercise, or medication. Early detection of risk factors can help prevent more serious cardiovascular issues in the future, empowering your colleagues to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Desk Workers Health and Wellbeing
Desk working is the norm for many and is seen as a low risk to many, but it does introduce unique health risks that can affect overall well-being. Poor workstation ergonomics can lead to back and neck pain, while prolonged sitting and reduced physical activity increase the risk of obesity and cardiovascular issues. Additionally, work pressures can contribute to mental health challenges such as stress, anxiety, and burnout.
Enhance the wellbeing of your desk-based employees with our comprehensive health and wellbeing assessment tailored for office environments.
This service includes:
- Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Assessment: Ensure legally compliant ergonomic workstation setups, preventing discomfort and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
- Stress Risk Assessment: Conducted in line with HSE’s Stress Management Standards, this identifies workplace stressors and provides actionable solutions to ensure compliance and promote mental wellbeing.
- Cardiovascular Risk Assessment: Screen for heart health indicators, offering early identification of risk factors and personalised advice.
- Musculoskeletal (MSK) Health Check: Identifying and addressing physical health issues that arise from sedentary work.
- Resilience Assessment: Evaluate employees’ capacity to manage workplace challenges and implement strategies to foster resilience and adaptability
This all-encompassing approach ensures your employees feel supported, fostering a healthier, more engaged, and resilient team.

Mental Wellbeing Risk Reduction
At Peritus Health Management, we recognise that mental health is a critical factor in employee wellbeing, productivity, and overall organisational success.
The pressures of modern work environments—such as high workloads, tight deadlines, and workplace stress—can significantly impact employees’ mental health, leading to burnout, absenteeism, and decreased engagement. Addressing these risks proactively not only helps reduce negative outcomes but also creates a workplace culture where employees feel supported, valued, and equipped to perform at their best.
Â
Our comprehensive mental health risk reduction strategy is designed to help organisations identify and mitigate mental health risks before they escalate. By integrating assessments, tailored mental health programs, and continuous support, we empower businesses to build a resilient workforce and create a healthier, more productive environment.
Our approach includes:
- Assessment and Risk Identification
We conduct a thorough mental health risk assessment using surveys, employee feedback, and one-on-one consultations to identify key stressors, workload demands, and environmental factors that may contribute to mental health risks like burnout, anxiety, and stress. - Tailored Mental Health Support
Based on assessment findings, we develop and implement bespoke mental health support tailored to your organisation’s needs. This includes workshops on stress management, resilience building, and mindfulness techniques, empowering employees with the tools to manage their mental health proactively. - Employee Support Services
We provide access to confidential counselling services and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) for immediate support when mental health concerns arise. Additionally, we offer Mental Health First Aid training to equip managers and staff with the skills to recognise and respond to early signs of mental health issues. - Ongoing Monitoring and Improvement
We continuously monitor the effectiveness of mental health strategies through regular check-ins, employee feedback, and wellbeing surveys. This data helps refine and improve the strategy, ensuring your organisation remains proactive in mitigating mental health risks and fostering a supportive environment.
By implementing this strategy, organisations can reduce mental health risks, promote employee wellbeing, and build a culture where employees feel supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
