Why Prevention?

Health care and worker’s compensation costs seem to be out of control.  Insurance premiums are climbing to an all time high.  These costs are undermining the health and wellness of not only employees, but the financial wellness of business and industry as well.  Precious resources are being eaten away by premiums and payouts. Absenteeism is up, and productivity is down.

This is NOT the time to roll with the economic punches; this is the time to being pro-active to contain health care costs.  Research studies show that overuse and overexertion injuries CAN BE PREVENTED! 

Specific benefits derived from a “prevention focus”, include:

• Improved employee health via a reduction in risk exposure
   

• Improved productivity and quality due to decreased employee fatigue and injury/illness
   

• Improved labor relations through demonstrated company commitment to employee health
   

• Cost containment associated with reduced incidence and severity of work injury/illness  
   

• Reduced group health costs as employees learn how to care for their musculoskeletal systems at work and at home.
