WORKPLACE WELLNESS
Wellness in the Workplace
CORE Workplace Wellness Solutions aim to advise, educate and inspire your employees to make changes to the way they work, move, eat, and live each day. Studies show that wellness programs will enhance the lives of the individuals, foster teamwork, and nurture a workplace environment that is more energized, positive, and productive.
According to the Harvard Business Review, healthy employees cost businesses less, and healthy employees stay with the company longer. These savings come in the form of government incentives, reduced insurance premiums, fewer sick days and increased productivity in the workforce. Average health care costs per employee in the U.S. have now reached more than $11,000 a year. In response, 43% of employers now offer incentives to encourage participation in “biometric screenings” (checking blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, tobacco use, etc.) and 30% offer incentives to engage in healthy lifestyle activities in the workplace.

Fitness and Posture
The hardest part of going to the gym is getting there. The CORE Fitness team brings the gym to you by offering onsite classes, training, and fitness assessments. Adding fitness to your workplace will invigorate your employees and make healthy living more convenient. This semi-
private training sessions will allow for more personal attention to each employee so they will have a greater opportunity to reach their personal health goals while enjoying a bonding experience of a good workout with their co-workers.
With our revolutionary SportsChiro Therapy Assessments, specialists put your employees through a range of motion and comprehensive muscle length testing. Additionally, they assess standing and sitting postures of employees as well as movement patterns that are necessary for their daily work. This allows the practitioners to see muscular imbalances in the body and help them create a program to alleviate pain, discomfort and increase performance of the employee.
Ergonomics reduces costs by systematically reducing risk factors and can prevent costly musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused at the workplace. With approximately one out of every three dollars in workers compensation costs attributed to MSDs, this represents an opportunity for significant cost savings. Indirect costs can be up to twenty times the direct cost of any workplace injury. The best ergonomic solutions will often improve productivity. By designing a workspace to allow for good posture, less exertion, fewer motions and better heights and reaches, your employee
becomes more efficient.
Our services include an on-site evaluation of the work environment. Physiotherapist will meet with every employee to assess his/her work environment and provide advice. We then educate them on proper posture and mechanics, along with making any appropriate changes that are possible with existing equipment or provide recommendations in the event new
equipment may be necessary to improve the ergonomics of the workspace.
Stress Management and Massage
Workplace Wellness Stress Management and Massage Studies have shown many health problems related to stress. According to doctors, stress seems to
worsen or increase the risk of conditions like obesity, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, depression, gastrointestinal problems, and asthma. There are many healthy ways to manage, cope and reduce stress in the workplace. Our customized CORE Workplace Wellness program teaches
employees a variety of techniques so that they can find one that is right for them. Services include yoga classes, meditation, breathing, acupuncture and body work.
One of the most popular programs is the on-site chair and table
massage. This program consists of 15 and 20-minute sessions per employee, with a certified massage therapist. Massage is known to release tension, improve posture, prevent repetitive stress injuries, energize the body and increase
productivity. Equally beneficial for those who work long hours at a desk or perform labor-intensive duties on the job site, massage can be a welcome relief from a busy workday.
Custom classes are available to answer the questions and concerns more important to your employee population.
