Luxury care group Connaught Care Collection has offered free ‘full-body health checks’ to all of its 184 staff members in partnership with employee-benefit health services provider Bluecrest Wellness.

Staff will be able to access comprehensive health checks covering heart disease, stroke risk, ECGs, cholesterol levels, diabetes, protein and iron levels.

Care group staff will have rapid access to appointments, world-class laboratory facilities and fully personalised results reports with 24/7 GP follow-up support as standard. 

Early indicators

Andrew Winstanley, the group’s CEO, said: “We think this is absolutely the right thing to offer to our staff teams. When we founded the Connaught Care Collection, our vision was to create the kind of homes where both residents and staff feel they can really thrive. The health and wellbeing of our staff is paramount to achieving this.

“The partnership with Bluecrest Wellness will offer peace of mind and highlight early indicators of areas of concern and professional advice and support to address them.

“If our own team is happy and healthy both mentally and physically, then we know they are in the right frame of mind to deliver the outstanding care our residents deserve.”

Health markers

Non-invasive tests will check for key health markers including liver and kidney function, cholesterol levels, diabetes risk, blood pressure, and mental wellbeing.

More than 100 employees have already taken up the health checks across Connaught’s four active homes, which opened in the past 12 months. the business has plans to open four more homes in 2024/25 and said that the same health service will be offered to all staff in future homes that the group opens. 

CEO of Bluecrest Wellness, Dominique Kent, said: “As someone with personal experience in the care sector, I know how important the role carers play in society really is. Their work can really change lives, and so it’s crucial to help and support carers to be the best they can be.

“Through this project, we are keen to show supporting and prioritizing the individual wellbeing of staff is the best way to do that. In short: everyone matters, and the more employers invest in staff the more they get back in return.”

Benefits Unboxed – Wellbeing: HR is supporting everyone, but who’s supporting HR?
byBenefits Expert from Definite Article Media

As the professionals responsible for helping their organisations navigate NI hikes, rising employee stress levels and looming redundancies, the pressure on HR, reward and benefits teams has never been greater. 

HR is expected to lead with strength and compassion. But who is supporting the supporters?

In this episode of Benefits Unboxed, co-hosts Claire Churchard, Carole Goldsmith and Steve Herbert explore the emotional and ethical pressures HR face today, from managing redundancies to implementing complex legislation. They discuss why HR’s own wellbeing may not be the first topic of conversation, the risks that poses to employers, and the practical steps businesses can take to better support the wellbeing of the people who support everyone else.

This conversation shines a light on the resilience of the profession and why looking after HR is not just the right thing to do, but a business imperative.
