LifeWorks offering on-site COVID-19 screening clinics to Canadian workplaces

Unique service helps employers and employees with a healthier, safer return to the workplace

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LifeWorks, a world leader in providing in-person and digital solutions that support the total wellbeing of individuals, now offers on-site rapid antigen COVID-19 screening clinics for Canadian workplaces.

Regular workplace screenings are the first step in detecting COVID-19, and they can help employers minimize the risk of outbreaks in their workplace. Having convenient and accessible rapid testing reduces barriers employees may face when seeking out COVID-19 testing and can ease the stress and anxious feelings that come with trying to secure tests independently.

Key details about LifeWorks COVID-19 screening clinics include:

  • The clinic is set up at the organization’s workplace to provide rapid antigen tests.
  • Employees book a testing appointment online through a portal provided by LifeWorks.
  • Nasal testing is administered by a trained professional.
  • Results are available in 15-30 minutes and shared confidentially to the employee using the method they select (email, phone or text).
  • If the result is negative, employees may go back to work right away.
  • Anyone who receives a positive result will immediately leave the workplace and go to an official screening centre in their region to have the result confirmed by a laboratory test.
  • Organizations looking to set up an on-site COVID-19 rapid testing clinic are encouraged to reach out to LifeWorks.

Convenient, accessible, confidential and safe, this service will help with a healthy and safe return to workplaces.”
