The checks are available for over-30s and the information collected can spot the early signs of heart disease.
People are given advice about reducing their risk of having a heart attack, stroke, kidney disease or developing diabetes or dementia.
The scheme is part of a national pilot and is being delivered by the Healthy Workplaces and Better Health North Somerset team, partnering with Pier Health Group.
So far about 1,100 checks have either been carried out or booked in but the aim is to complete 2,600 by the end of March, so all workplaces across North Somerset are being invited to take advantage of the scheme.
Staff health and wellbeing initiatives can improve employee satisfaction, create a more productive workforce and result in better retention and recruitment.
