Types of Corporate Health Screening in Malaysia That Companies Should Know

Published on 4 November 2024

In Malaysia, it’s not compulsory for corporate companies to provide corporate wellness programs such as health screenings to employees. However, it’s encouraged for employers to provide medical benefits or insurances as part of a corporate engagement program. Providing well-being aid in a corporate setting is an option for employers, especially in areas like Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, where access to medical services is robust. Companies are required to allocate a budget for employees’ annual medical check-ups, aside from pre-employment medical examinations that are mandatory for certain industries.

Before deciding on any medical benefits for employees, let’s explore the types of corporate health screenings in Malaysia that your company could provide. Good news: there are corporate screening options that are free for each company. Prioritizing employees' health is part of a company's responsibilities, and as we know, employee well-being is a company's greatest asset. We are here to help you learn more about corporate health screenings available in the market.

A) Free Health Screening Program (HSP) by PERKESO

This corporate wellness program was introduced by PERKESO in 2013, offering free health screenings to workers. From this program, companies can perform early detection of Non-Communicable Diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and the risk of heart disease. However, this program is only eligible for Malaysian workers aged 40 to 59 years and can only be done once in a lifetime. This health screening arrangement is conducted by appointed clinics or hospitals. For more information, visit the PERKESO website to book your company’s health screening now!

B) On-Site Corporate Health Screening by Registered Medical Provider

On-site health screening is made easy for all corporate companies, as they can engage with many corporate medical providers available in the market. Choosing a suitable provider might be a tough decision because it will take a few procedures to complete the medical check-up, especially if the company wants to conduct it on-site at their office.

Before choosing your health provider, consider factors such as the types of health tests available, payment methods, and accessibility for employees who cannot make it on the health screening day. Payment methods are crucial, as different companies have different budgets allocated for medical benefits, and some subscribe to insurance or panel clinics for corporate health screenings.

In addition to health screenings, integrating corporate team building activities into your wellness strategy can enhance overall employee morale and foster collaboration. If you are searching for corporate health screening providers, here are some options:

C) Comprehensive Corporate Health Screening in Hospitals

If a company is looking for a more comprehensive health screening package that involves machine tests, X-rays, and more, it’s advisable to opt for hospitals rather than clinics or corporate medical providers. Hospitals offer a complete range of machines and numerous tests that can be conducted according to your company's needs. For example, a stress test for checking heart function can only be done in a hospital due to the need for treadmills and heart monitoring machines.

However, if employers choose to perform employees’ health screenings in hospitals, they may need to schedule appointments, and employees might have to apply for at least half a day off. This is one disadvantage of conducting corporate health screenings in hospitals compared to on-site screenings, where medical providers come to the office, and employees are served on the spot.

If you are looking for hospitals that provide corporate health screenings, here are some options:

  1. Beacon Hospital: 
    1. Beacon Hospital offers a variety of health screening packages that cater to both genders, including customized packages for specific diseases. For more information, visit their official website.

D) Corporate Vaccination

While corporate vaccination programs may not be popular yet in Malaysia, we believe they will become essential in the future, especially in industries requiring vaccinations, such as food and beverages. Employers must ensure the safety, health, and welfare of employees under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA).

Incorporating a corporate health talk into your wellness initiatives can also enhance awareness about health issues among employees. Providing corporate health screenings to employees is now easier if employers have the right resources. Employees are the company’s greatest asset, and healthier employees are more likely to thrive in the workplace. While corporate health screenings are not compulsory for every employee in Malaysia, as an employer, taking care of your employees is a crucial step toward creating a better workplace!
