Protecting a Company's Most Important Assets: Its People
Woodstock Physical Therapy offers a complete range of services capable of measuring, managing workplace safety and productivity. This will be of particular interest to businesses that need to reduce injuries, return employees to work, reduce operating costs and increase productivity.
A new approach to an old problem.
Sprains and strains, most often involving the back, account for 43% of injuries and illnesses resulting in days away from work. Up to 98% of the costs involved, including workers compensation and medical and disability costs, are being spent outside the company, after the injury occurs. Addressing injury management in this way just doesn't add up to good business.
Workwell Systems Inc.
All five therapists at Woodstock Physical Therapy have been certified by WorkWell Systems. They have been trained to perform a comprehensive program of on-site job analysis, pre-work physical screening, functional testing and post-injury return-to-work plans. These programs can be used in a wide variety of businesses, including retail, transportation, manufacturing and healthcare.
Benefits
Particularly in this economic climate, companies are needing to find ways to be even more competitive and to reduce operating costs, as well as taking care of the health of their employees. Best practice firms like GE, Alcoa and Dupont, are now applying increased resources to injury prevention and stay-at-work programs. By re-apportioning budgets to focus on quality and prevention, some companies have experienced savings of 50-90% of workers' compensation costs.
Ultimately, the implementation of these programs results in a reduction of costs and improvement in workers' safety and productivity. They can also offer employers significant savings by decreasing workers compensation claims and by helping employers to measurably gain control of injury-related issues, so they can keep their focus on doing business.
