For Joe Grimes, one of our Business Management Systems specialists, the decision to complete an online survey kickstarted a transformational health journey.
Joe was one of hundreds of employees who decided to take the Man Test, a health survey hosted on our intranet site theVine as part of Men’s Health Week. The survey offered our male employees the opportunity “to take a closer look into your health and wellbeing”.
Joe had taken a week off work to move house and get set up. “I had meant to take the Man Test weeks before but didn’t get around to it. I put it on the list of things to do that week and promised myself I would do it,” he said. The results were a wake up call for Joe and the catalyst for him to seek out a new local doctor who would support him to get his health back on track.
“The Doctor supported me with an overall health plan,” Joe says. “I saw a dietician, a physiotherapist and even had an eye test with an optometrist. I came away with good information, an eating plan, and exercise plan.
Joe went on to make important dietary and lifestyle changes resulting in a 30kg weight loss over seven months.
“I feel better than I ever have,” Joes says. “Compared to my initial fitness test score, I am now officially 30% fitter and I feel the benefits every day.
