Manulife Financial Group Benefits now offers employers access to a full suite of employee personal health assessments, ranging from executive medicals to a number of worksite employee health screening programs.

Health assessments are the next step for employers to better identify and manage health risk factors in their employee population. For the employee, the service is quick, convenient and provides a valuable health profile.

The Personal Health Assessment program was developed with Medisys Health Group, a national provider of customized preventive and diagnostic health care solutions. Participating Manulife employers are referred to Medisys, who will coordinate and conduct the assessments.

“Employers want to maintain or improve the health, productivity and engagement of their workforce. To help do this, they need access to competitive and attractive employee wellness programs that not only help to increase employee satisfaction but also reduce employer disability and drug benefit costs,” said Rick Brunet, Executive Vice President, Manulife Group Benefits. “Our exclusive arrangement with Medisys allows us to better provide employees with that first step, in providing innovative, trusted and relevant health information that meets the needs of both plan members and sponsors, with the highest levels of professionalism and patient confidentiality.”

Montréal-based Medisys is a provider of executive personal health assessments. For more than 20 years, Medisys has delivered customized, comprehensive health management strategies through its national network of offices and health practitioners.

Executive-health and workplace-wellness product suites

Manulife’s Personal Health Assessment program offers Executive health assessments as well as Worksite Wellness programs that deliver employee wellness services at the workplace.

“Companies of all sizes are keenly interested in the health and well-being of their senior leadership,” says Marilee Mark, vice president, marketing, Manulife Group Benefits.

Executive program participants undergo comprehensive physical and mental health evaluations, laboratory testing, as well as lifestyle, fitness, nutrition and stress assessments. Afterward, they receive a report containing extensive feedback, including a customized health improvement plan. Notes Mark, “This program is an excellent tool to help employers help their key people keep or improve their health.” Manulife’s Executive Personal Health Assessments are conducted at Medisys facilities in Monteal, Québec City, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver.

The Worksite Wellness programs provide on-site health assessment services. Employers can choose from a suite of worksite programs, based on cost, depth of testing and reporting detail. The Worksite Wellness programs assess cardiovascular risk factors, while feedback can be provided individually or through a generalized presentation to employee groups.
