A corporate health check is the annual health check a company provides for its employees under contract with a hospital or clinic, either at the facility or through a mobile unit at the company. It brings large, predictable revenue and turns many employees into patients of the facility.
In many companies, employees working with occupational risk factors must have health checks by law, and most companies offer annual checks as a benefit anyway, so HR asks for quotes every year. But organised HR teams compare far more than price per head. This guide is the seller’s side; for the buyer’s side, see our HR guide to employee health checks.
Why corporate health checks are worth it
- Large, predictable revenue: one contract can cover hundreds or thousands of employees, and is often renewed yearly
- Fills quiet time: schedule on weekdays or slower periods
- Many new patients: employees who come become patients with a record at your facility
- Leads to treatment: employees with abnormal results need further tests or care
- Leads to families: employees bring their families when the check day goes well
What HR compares
| Area | What HR wants to see |
|---|---|
| Price per group | Price per person for each employee group, with the check items for each |
| Risk-factor checks | Full coverage for job risks such as hearing or lung function, and who interprets them |
| On-site checks | Whether you can come to the company, minimum headcount, space needed and extra charges |
| Turnaround and results | Days to results, how results reach employees, and whether a doctor explains them |
| Aggregate report | An anonymised organisation-level summary for benefits planning |
| Personal data | Results sent directly to employees, with PDPA procedures |
| Follow-up | Repeat tests or referral for abnormal results, and the cost |
Many HR teams use a comparison sheet like our health check quote comparison template. Quotes that answer every row of a sheet like that are the easiest to compare.
Designing programmes and quotes
- Separate programmes by group, such as employees under 35, 35 and over, and risk-factor work, with items set by a doctor
- List the check items, not just a package name, so HR can compare with others
- Price per person per group and in total, with any extra charges such as on-site fees or add-ons
- Answer HR’s concerns up front: results, explanation, aggregate report, PDPA and follow-up of abnormal results
- Offer add-ons as options, such as flu vaccines or eye tests, not bundled into the main programme
Mobile units
Checks at the company save employees taking leave and raise attendance. Before offering them, check the rules for providing services outside the facility with DHSS or the provincial public health office, and set out clearly:
- Which items can be done off site and which need a visit to the facility
- Minimum headcount, the team, and the space the company must provide
- A schedule that does not disrupt the company’s work, and how samples are collected and transported
Where to find corporate clients
- Companies nearby, such as industrial estates, office buildings and employers of your existing patients
- Brokers and group insurers, who manage benefits for many companies
- HR networks, such as HR events and associations
- Platforms companies use to arrange health checks, where employees choose their own provider
Public promotion of your services is still facility advertising that needs approval; see the healthcare advertising guide.
After the check day is where the value is
- Follow up abnormal results: contact employees who need further tests or care, with consent and in line with PDPA
- Send the aggregate report, helping HR plan next year’s benefits, such as the most common risks found
- Review with HR: attendance, satisfaction and improvements, before renewal time
- Invite people back on schedule: employees and families due for repeat tests or vaccines
Measuring it
| KPI | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Quote win rate | Contracts won against quotes sent |
| Revenue per contract | Including add-ons and follow-on care |
| Attendance rate | Employees checked against those eligible |
| Follow-up after abnormal results | Share of employees returning for tests or care |
| Renewal rate | Companies renewing the next year |
Frequently asked questions
What is a corporate health check?
The annual health check a company provides for employees under contract with a hospital or clinic, either at the facility or through a mobile unit at the company.
How does HR choose a health check provider?
Beyond price per head, HR looks at risk-factor checks, on-site capability, turnaround, whether a doctor explains results, an aggregate report, PDPA handling and follow-up of abnormal results. Many use a sheet like our quote comparison template.
How do we write a winning employee health check quote?
Separate programmes and prices by employee group, list the check items, state every extra charge, and answer results, aggregate reporting, PDPA and follow-up in the quote itself.
Do mobile health check units need permission?
Providing services outside the facility is subject to Thailand’s healthcare facility law, so check with DHSS or the provincial public health office before offering it, and set out which items can be done off site.
Can the company see employees’ results?
Health results are sensitive data under PDPA. Common practice is for detailed results to go to employees directly, with the company receiving only what it needs, such as fitness-for-work summaries and anonymised aggregate reports.
