How Harbour Energy Is Turning Health Assessments into Life-Saving Early Detection

Harbour Energy operates in some of the most demanding environments in the world. Their teams work offshore, onshore, and in remote locations, often with limited access to regular healthcare. For a business like this, a reactive approach to health simply isn't good enough.

Dr David Leiper, Health and Wellbeing Manager at Harbour Energy, explains the thinking: "We were conscious that many of the biggest health risks our people face, things like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity, can develop quietly over time. Often there are no obvious symptoms until it's too late. We wanted to find a way to help our people spot potential risks earlier, when small changes can make a big difference."

That ambition sits at the heart of Harbour Energy's Global Health Strategy. Health assessments give employees a clear picture of their current health and practical, personalised advice to help them stay well. They also give the business valuable insight into the overall health of their workforce, so wellbeing initiatives can be designed around real needs rather than assumptions.

As David puts it: "Ultimately, this is about more than ticking a box. It's about creating a culture where our people feel supported to take care of their health, can perform at their best, and go home safely to their families."
