Continuing Our Commitment to Employee Wellbeing with Follow-Up Well Checks

At CARD Group Research & Insight, we believe that wellbeing is not a one-time effort, but an ongoing commitment. Following the very positive feedback from our team last year, in our employee survey, we were pleased to continue to work with Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke (NICHS).  This year, we offered a second round of Well Checks as part of the NICHS Work Well Live Well programme.

Our team’s interest in last year’s health screenings made it clear that these checks provided value, not just through the insights each employee gained, but in the conversations they started around personal health and lifestyle. This year’s follow-up Well Checks offered employees another opportunity to monitor key health indicators such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, helping them stay informed and proactive about their wellbeing.

This year’s checks were delivered by Laura Gordon from NICHS. Her professional, approachable manner put everyone at ease and encouraged one-to-one discussions. Employees were able to track changes since their last screening, reflect on progress, and receive personalised lifestyle advice tailored to their individual needs.

Our team members have shared how these checks have helped them stay motivated to make healthier choices, from improving sleep habits, to being more mindful of diet and stress.

As our Wellbeing Champion, Roxy Thompson, said “The follow-up Well Checks have been a fantastic way to keep health and wellbeing front of mind for our team. It’s been great to see colleagues think more about their health and ask questions to improve their health.”
