worker knowledge that informs site leadership of specifific gaps that need to be addressed through tailored programs. For example, if the majority of workers score low on a nutrition assessment, onsite clinicians can develop a nutrition education program that informs workers about proper nutrition and portion control. They can also run a nutrition challenge to further engage workers and drive home nutrition education. These types of gen- eral health and wellness knowledge programs help workers be- come more aware of the things they can do in their own time to better their health and well-being. These good habits will, in turn, help workers feel more energized and bring their best selves to work. Simply knowing may mean the difference between ignor- ing the risk signs and making more healthy decisions. Supporting a Healthier, Safer and Inclusive Workforce Onsite health screenings are an easy way to analyze the full worker population on a job site and help leadership develop programs that are tailored to the direct needs of their workforce. Understanding the underlying health conditions impacting workers is key to im- proving health outcomes in both the short and long term. This information enables workers to be connected to the care and resources they need to treat or manage chronic conditions like diabetes or obesity and improve their overall health. Know- ing the conditions workers face also helps onsite clinicians pro- vide the right care for workers in case of a medical emergency.

Ergonomics assessments are an important part of injury pre- vention and help ensure that workers are using and moving their bodies safely to avoid straining any muscles or ligaments. ThThis type of prevention can reduce injury rates, time away from work and healthcare expenses. Finally, health and wellness knowledge assessments are a great way to gauge how workers are feeling and how they view and approach their health when off the worksite. If many are struggling with getting regular exercise or getting enough sleep, onsite clinicians can introduce challenges that en- gage workers in taking an active role in their health. Each of these types of health assessments are meant to help workers better understand their health and give them the tools to improve their wellbeing.
