Technology Used to Assess Employee Health
A new and innovative machine has been used to assess employees’ health at several major McColl’s sites across the country.
The Bio Impedance Health Testing Machine uses a five minute, scientifically validated clinical assessment to measure the major markers of aging.
Staff are encouraged to step onto the machine so various measurements can be taken including:
- weight
- body fat percentage
- organ fat level
- soft muscle mass
- skeletal muscle mass
- hydration level
- biological age
- balance between left and right side of the body
- protein and mineral levels
Employees who took part in a voluntary program gained valuable insights into their health.
On completion of each test, an accredited external health practitioner reviewed participants’ results and worked with them to establish a number of short term lifestyle/health goals.
There are plans to roll out the health program to other McColl’s sites in the new year.
