Helping employees recover with on-site physical therapy services
Published by HealthFitness on February 23rd, 2022
A leading pharmaceutical manufacturing company wanted its employees to be treated by licensed physical therapists without having to travel off-site and take time away from work. The company’s 3,000 employees include office and non-office employees located on a large campus with multiple buildings.
A focus on safety and injury prevention ensures the company can maximize productivity and optimize performance. There is no question that employees who feel supported and safe at work contribute to the wellbeing of the business.
Challenge
The company focused on protecting its most valuable resource — its employees — and wanted on-site injury prevention and treatment services with a goal of having state-of-the-art medical services provided to all employees.
The company wanted its employees to be treated by a licensed physical therapist without having to leave the work site, as well as providing ergonomic assessments, early intervention and work conditioning to employees as needed.
Solution
HealthFitness partnered with the company to provide on-site physical therapy programs to reduce the time spent away from work and help employees recover in a supportive and convenient setting.
Our team of two full-time and one part-time physical therapists also implement ergonomic assessments and early intervention programs for anyone who indicates they are having pain or discomfort. The team strives to keep employees healthy and return them back work as quickly as possible.
Results
Every interaction is an opportunity for the HealthFitness physical therapy team to speak to the wellness and employee health needs which enables trust, relationship building and direct knowledge of the employees and their work.
Results in one year include savings of $117,000 to the company in direct medical expenses, cost avoidance of $103,000 in copays for employees from the program, and total direct savings from having on-site physical therapy of $220,000.
