Dubai, UAE: Employees across The Kanoo Group Bur Dubai Head Office participated in the recent Health Fair programme held at its premises on 2nd October 2019 organised by HR Department, in collaboration with AXA Gulf, Prime Medical Center and Al Mariya Polyclinic.
Members of The Kanoo Group including staff and management were all encouraged to sign up for the screenings to make sure their health gets the attention it deserves.
Ms. Maha Kanoo, Head of Marketing & HR who fully supported this HR initiative said, “When you’re healthy, you’re happy, productive and fulfilled. As a thoughtful employer, we have brought these screening services right to our employee’s workplace.”
Mr. Mohammad Tariq, HR Manager UAE & Oman, further said, “We are happy to see a good turnout of health conscious staff today and hope to see similar response to future events”.
The screenings conducted at The Kanoo Group Health Fair were: BMI, Random Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure, GP Consultation, Body Composition Analysis, Dental, Onsite Activation of 360 Doctor, as well as Onsite Enrolment to Shield 4 Diabetes.
“Through these screenings, we can identify the risk of health problems before they have a chance to get serious. We benefit from advice on a healthy diet, stress management and more. For staff who are suffering from Diabetes, it was an excellent opportunity to enroll themselves for “Shield 4 Diabetes,” one participant commented.
Another employee added, “One of the most interesting features of the event was the “360 Doctor”, an app based 24 x 7 online facility for Doctor’s consultation and free doorstep delivery of medicines. These details and more were provided during the Health Fair by the AXA team.”
Complimentary Cholesterol Screening Vouchers were also given to all participants during the event which can be redeemed at any of the Prime Medical Centers.
“These check-ups were scheduled on separate dates and locations to accommodate other staff in other premises of The Kanoo Group. We shall be announcing a separate date for our staff based in Abu Dhabi. However, they are free to come and visit any of our next schedules if they wish so,” Tariq informed.
The next screenings will be on 16th October 2019 at Al Quoz Machinery Office in Dubai, and on 20th November 2019 at the Kanoo Travel Karama Office.
