With an aging workforce many new challenges will start to confront a business. As people age they start to lose physical condition and capacity, with poorer recovery and an increased risk of injury. Research also shows older employees may have more chronic illnesses in their later years requiring more extensive periods of time off work. Employ Health can help to manage these aspects of an aging workforce by assisting with maintaining aging workers physical capacity and educating these workers on the right life choices to avoid, or reduce the risk of, chronic health issues.

Employ Health’s proactive approach on site to assist with managing a workforces health can assist in preventing many injuries which in turn decreases the number of worker compensation claims and lowers the insurance premium that a business is required to pay each year. These savings can then be spent on further improvements to workers’ health and fitness, improving productivity and culture on site.

The more injuries occurring on site the more time that a business is missing skilled workers doing their jobs. In the case of an aging workforce the chronic illness and longer recovery time from injury will lead to increased lost time injuries. Generally these workers are also the most experienced in their jobs and that lost experience, combined with training short term replacement workers, can increase a company’s expenses. An onsite physiotherapy program can help to decrease and even eliminate the time lost from chronic illness and worker injuries.

Poor workplace culture and morale can stem from a number of factors that may include high injury rates, a feeling by the workforce that management does not care about them, previous poor management practices as well as poor worker health and/or work conditions. By investing in worker health and fitness all of these issues can be addressed and a happy healthy workforce is a productive workforce.
