Corporate Fitness and Health Plans
Echelon Health offers a range of corporate fitness and health programs to promote healthier living and a safer workplace. Our services incorporate medical screening and physical activity as part of employees' healthy living. These measures prevent health risks such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, anxiety and depression.
World Health Organisation (WHO) studies show that workplace physical activity programmes can reduce sick leave by up to 32% and increase productivity by up to 52%. Echelon Health programs are designed with a healthy, productive workforce in mind.
Programmes and packages are easily tailored to meet the needs of employees and can be implemented at their work location. Programmes can be branded at no extra cost.
