Annual health checkup for employees: what to include and how to run it
Medically reviewed by Dr. N. S. Santosh Varma, MBBS, FIM, FIDM, FICCM · Reg. APMC/FMR 112686 · Updated the day of publishing
An annual employee health checkup usually covers blood count, blood sugar, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, urine and blood pressure, with a doctor to explain results. Companies run it as an on-site camp or with home sample collection, and many extend it to employees' families as a benefit. Individual reports should stay confidential to each employee.
A practical test list
- Complete blood count
- Blood sugar (and HbA1c for at-risk staff)
- Lipid profile
- Liver and kidney function
- Urine routine
- Blood pressure, BMI, and eye and dental checks
How to run it smoothly
| Step | Tip |
|---|---|
| Plan | Pick a date, decide who is covered (employees only or families too) |
| Collect | Early-morning on-site camp or home collection after an overnight fast |
| Report | Each employee gets a private report; HR sees only anonymous summaries |
| Follow up | Doctor consultations for anyone with abnormal values |
