Designing a wellness program for your workplace is the first opening approach we take to ensure you have a tailored program to suit you and your workers.

Need Analysis

If you are reading this section you and your organisation will have by now identified a workplace health and wellness risk or risks which requires attention. By creating wellness initiatives in a workplace your organisation is providing the first important steps to safeguarding your workers health and safety.

Program Design & Development

Our dedicated team of experts will work with you and your organisation to create the ideal program of services to meet the needs of your business and workforce. By providing a clear outline of your workplaces goals and outcomes to be achieved, Sonic HealthPlus can assist in setting up the scope of your health and wellness targeted programs.

The program may take the form of education and awareness through many different channels - regular assessments, health promotion or coaching for your teams. You will have the option of having these programs delivered at your premises or via webinar.

Health Coaching Programs

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be challenging, with increased work and life demands, shift work, prolonged sitting at a desk or working on-site where access to healthy food and exercise can be limited. Our Health Coaching Programs are a one-on-one personalised service built on a cycle of assessments, goal setting, and lifestyle changes (including nutrition planning, exercise planning, and mental wellbeing strategies), motivation and support, monitoring progress and reassessment.

Fitness and Exercise Programs

Our experienced Exercise Scientists and Physiologists also offer Exercise Programming services for both individuals and workplaces, including an initial consultation to identify program goals and any prior contraindications. Each program is customised and provided in a professional program.

Health Promotion

Our Health Promotion service is designed to educate and increase the awareness of employees across key occupational health and wellness topics such as Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Heat, Hydration and Sun Safety.

Health promotion programs can be built and custom developed to suit the unique environment of a workplace, from a key topic month or run as a long-term health promotion calendar.

Depending on the package you select, we will also help promote these within in your workplace with the support of print ready marketing materials such as co-branded posters, fact sheets, table talkers. If you have a specific marketing piece in mind we can look to accommodate this.

FIFO, Mining and Construction Health Programs

Tailored to meet the health requirements of employees within industries such as mining and construction, our health programs consider the workplace environment and risk of injury or illness for employees in these demanding situations. Whether it is the provision of on-site wellness consultants or the implementation of a 12 month program, our expertise will deliver a customised program to suit your target focuses.

Skin Screening

The checking of skin for cancers has become an important part of everyone’s health check, but not all find the time to have it done. We can offer skin screening checks too as part of an on-site health check by one of our medical practitioners to your most sun exposed workers or as part of a tailored wellness program.

Flu Vaccinations

Sonic HealthPlus offer businesses an opportunity to have their workers vaccinated against the latest flu strain each year. Widespread workplace absenteeism due to the spread of flu can cost your business in productivity and your workers their health.

The assessments can include baseline checks such as, blood pressure, body measurements, cholesterol reading, resting heart rate and blood glucose levels. Comprehensive assessments delve further into contributing factors through lifestyle questionnaires and fitness assessments.

Sonic HealthPlus wellness consultants can provide further support for any employees identified with a risk factor, through our health coaching programs.

These assessments are customisable for individual groups within your organisation and will provide valuable information to further develop a Health and Wellness program for your workers.
