Revolutionizing Workplace Wellness: WorkCare’s Total Employee Health Program

Over the past three years, WorkCare, in collaboration with a global power management client, developed an innovative Total Employee Health program aimed at setting a new benchmark in injury prevention and workplace wellness.

The client faced high TRCRs due to musculoskeletal and ergonomic issues in their operations. They needed a partner who could provide comprehensive support for MSDs and lead ergonomic project management. WorkCare stepped in with a solution-focused approach, emphasizing timely, on-site care to address and prevent minor discomforts before they escalate.
