Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked about our workplace warm-up exercises and stretches.
What do you need to design a workplace warmup and stretches program for our workforce?
To design tailored workplace warm up exercises and stretches for your workers, we need to understand what types of jobs, conditions, positions, and timeframes your worker is under. The best way to do this is through a Job Analysis. Â Our consultants can develop a program that can be delivered in a way that works best for your work environment, including on-site visits, videos, booklets, posters and newsletters.
How much does developing a program cost?
How much it costs depends on the size of your workforce, the type of jobs carried out and your choice of delivery. The actual cost of developing the program and its ongoing delivery can be very small. Even if only one worker is able to remain healthy and relatively injury-free over the years as a result of adopting these ideas, your costs are recouped.Â
Do workplace warm-ups and stretches programs reduce injury?
Although some work injuries may still occur, our programs can significantly reduce the effect of health conditions that can be an ongoing factor in increased absenteeism and decreased productivity. Over time, these costs can be damaging to your business.
Why should we choose your programs over generic programs?
While many of the exercises and stretches you can find online can be helpful, developing a program tailored to the specific needs of your business can be much more effective.
What type of program delivery would work best for our company?
What type of program would work best for you depends largely on your work culture. We can create a brief questionnaire or survey you can give to your employees to help you understand what type of program and delivery would work best. Sometimes, a simple poster or brochure followed up with repetition and good examples set by supervisors and managers is very effective.
