SUELLEN TAYLOR, HR MANAGER AT CROWNE PLAZA HOBART, SUPPORTED OUR FIRST DAY OF HEALTH CHECKS AS PART OF THE PROPERTY’S ONGOING COMMITMENT TO THE WELLBEING OF THEIR EMPLOYEES.
HOSPO HEALTH CHECKS ARE HITTING THE SPOT
HOSPO Health activities for 2024 kicked off with the first of our personalised health checks, and we could not be more thrilled with the enthusiasm shown by industry employees. Day one was hosted by Crowne Plaza Hobart, and bookings filled two days after opening registrations. THA Chief Happiness Officer and lead coach of HOSPO Health Sherri Ring says the feedback she received on the day shows these checks are really filling a need. “Since starting the HOSPO Health program we’ve been really mindful of finding out what people want and need in the area of preventative health and wellbeing. Health checks rated highly in the case study we undertook in 2023 and kept coming up in conversation. It was a no-brainer to introduce these into the program.
“To see our first day of checks fill so quickly was exciting, although not really surprising. Crowne Plaza Hobart generously hosted the sessions, which were open to employees from all hospitality businesses. We had people coming through from a number of Hobart CBD venues which was great to see.” The comprehensive in-person checks are delivered in a private, one-to-one environment and encompass a variety of assessments including: • Blood pressure evaluation • Psychological wellbeing assessment • Diabetes risk score • Sleep hygiene assessment • Movement analysis
• Bio age determination • Postural assessment • Body composition evaluation
“Each check usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, which allows time for conversation about any results of concern or areas the person wants to learn more about. “Adopting a preventative approach to our physical and mental health is about taking control and empowering ourselves to the best of our ability. Our HOSPO Health Checks are a valuable part of this.” Health Checks are being held regularly around Tasmania over the coming months and are open to anyone who works in the hospitality industry. There is no charge to individuals or businesses. Our next session of HOSPO Health Checks is being held at Cradle Mountain Hotel in early February, and also filled within a matter of days.
