A targeted program focused on injury preventionto prevent manual handling injuries and improve safe practices at work. Components include:
The AlphaOne manual handling and fitness assessment compares specific areas of upper, middle and lower body strength, fitness and flexibility with the physical demands of the job. Based upon this assessment, employees are assigned the patent pending and trademarked AlphaOne Code of Fitness.
This component aims to engage the workforce and build support for the program, understand historical and organizational issue to be addressed, and benchmark characteristics of the workplace and workforce.
A series of team learning sessions called Health Forums raise awareness and literacy on key OHS and manual handling issues. Topics include:
Healthy changes to employee behaviour and attitudes are supported by changes to the work environment, including:
Sleep related fatigue is a common challenge in today's society. The challenge lies in the complex relationship between an employee's own personnel lifestyle and the occupational factors that may impact on an employee's excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).
AlphaOne®'s Sleep@Work program utilises the 8 step approach to ensure all factors likely to influence an employee's EDS are identified allowing for the following focus areas to be targeted specific to the organisation and its industry.:Organisational Strategies: policy, procedures, employee performance management
Team: group education providing evidence based education on sleep physiology, bio-rhythms, sleep hygiene and strategies for improving sleep quality especially for those experiencing changing sleep patterns
Supervisor: how to manage employees with EDS in line with an organisations own policy & procedures
Stress (& mental health problems) are significant contributors to employee health & productivity.
Stress itself is affected by a complex relationship between an employee's personal, occupational (e.g. demand vs. control, leadership, meaningfulness etc) and environmental (policy, procedures, support) factors.
Therefore to address mental health in the workplace you need a program that addresses each level. The Mind@Work program not only provides employees with evidence based skills in dealing with stress and other mental health problems but also includes an environmental component that identifies dimensions of job strain which may be having an impact.
The program also provides supervisor / manager education on mental health issues, how to recognise employees who may require assistance and strategies on who to manage employees dealing with mental health problems.
Ask us. We also provide consultation services and fee for services so if you just need some help in scoping out your corporate health plan or just some employee health checks conducted or would like a health education session delivered at your next training day then talk to us.
This is just a snapshot of some of our more strategic, focused programs. The distinguishing factor of AlphaOne® is our ability to tailor a solution to your organisation using our workplace health experience and using our process based approach.
