Corporate Health Fairs
A variety of wellbeing tests and topics in one engaging health fair event
What is a Workplace Health Fair?
A Workplace Health Fair is a scaled-up wellbeing day, helping you to engage, entertain, and educate your whole workforce.
We bring a variety of different health and wellbeing zones to your workplace, which employees move around in groups – almost like market stalls for your overall wellbeing.
To build your perfect Corporate Health Fair, we work with you to determine the needs of your staff, and then we identify the best way to address these needs – all within your budget, of course.
We have a number of popular health fair formats, but the benefit of an event like this is that the services can be completely tailored to your needs.
This means that your staff get an exciting and engaging day full of health and wellbeing interventions of all shapes and sizes.

What our Clients Think of our Corporate Health Fairs
I just wanted to reach out to say thank you so much. We had really positive feedback and employees are already asking if you can come back next year to see if their health has improved!
A lot of the feedback was the appreciation of the time and patience the practitioners took to explain the information clearly – the employees really took onboard what they were being told and there was a real buzz in the air around the office yesterday.

The team did an absolutely fantastic job. The event was really busy all day and they went over and above to fit everybody in. Hoping to be able to re-book an event […]
Overall feedback from staff was really positive, people enjoyed the event and appreciated the time the team spent explaining results.

What Zones can be Included in a Corporate Health Fair?
If you can imagine it, we can likely build a Corporate Health Fair around it. That being said, we find that the most successful health fairs usually feature health checks, health screening and the lifestyle review zone. Beyond that, it’s entirely up to you!
Health Check Zone
This zone helps attendees understand some of their key health numbers. Here, we test:
- Blood pressure, plus resting heart rate.
- Body fat percentage.
- Visceral fat rating (the dangerous fat that surrounds internal organs).
- Body water score.

- Metabolic rate (how your body uses energy).
- Metabolic age (how your metabolic rate compares to the average for your age).
For more information, take a look at our Employee Health Checks.

The Benefits of a Corporate Health Fair
Our Health Fairs act as a proactive wellbeing day designed to educate and engage your workforce. This means that your employees can learn about a wide range of health topics and wellbeing areas in a single day, including:
- Personalised lifestyle guidance
- Posture and ergonomics improvement
- Increased physical activity awareness
- Disease and cancer awareness
Our wellbeing days include interactive zones and practical health checks, all tailored to meet the needs of your diverse workforce.
Our Health Fairs are designed in partnership with you, so if your workforce has a specific wellbeing need that you want to meet, we will make sure that we do it.
Can Corporate Health Fairs be part of a benefits fair?
Love them or hate them, benefits fairs are a reality of the modern workplace – especially large corporates.
We know that getting your colleagues excited about attending a benefits fair can be challenging, which is where we can help.
Corporate Health Fairs can easily slot into a benefits fair – in fact, our current Health Fair format was born out of the need for our clients to make their benefits fairs more exciting!
We can adapt to fit the format of your benefits fair. Let us know how you run things and we’ll slot ourselves in.
Is this an NHS Blood Test?
Away days, conferences, and corporate events are the perfect setting for a corporate health fair.
Our health fair zones provide a great reprieve from meetings and talks, giving staff a chance to relax and engage in promoting healthy behaviours.
What other Wellbeing Services do you offer to businesses?
Alongside employee health screenings, we also offer a wide range of physical wellbeing services, including employee health checks, menopause support, vitamin D testing, and workplace massage services.
