In
1999, The
National Safety Council estimated
the total annual cost of occupational injuries at a staggering $125
billion. In the U.S. alone it is estimated that health care costs
will reduce the earnings of Fortune 500 companies a full one percentage
point per year over the next 5 years. According to the American
Institute of Stress, 75% - 90%
of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related
complaints or disorders and affect over 50% of American workers.
The cost to U.S. industries alone is in excess of $300 billion annually.
With PeakCare at Work, companies receive fresh, current streaming
video content associated with repetitive work, mental stress and
behavioral health issues through web-enabled prevention programs.
In turn, employees can connect to customized exercises, health and
lifestyle information, and examples of how to perform everyday activities
without injury.
Utilizing a diagnostic questionnaire that gathers relevant employee
information regarding gender, age, industry and ethnicity, the system
is designed to tailor video content to meet an individual's specific
demographic, personal and environmental needs. By addressing these
themes, the video content better resembles an employee's unique
situation. The system then generates 2 – 5 minute customized video
solutions that include a series of activities, messages and exercises,
delivered using broadband streaming technology.
While traditional and/or inhouse wellness programs have generated
$4 to $7 of savings for every dollar spent, PeakCare’s comprehensive
program increases those savings. By utilizing PeakCare, companies
will lower the number of claims and days lost to injury, reduce
escalating health care costs and injuries, and improve worker productivity.
In turn, the company retains key talent while improving their bottom
line.
