Will Smith Discusses Preventative Solutions for a Newly Created Workforce

COVID-19 has changed many aspects of the world, including the way we live and work. In response, One Call has expanded its offerings to include Workforce Wellbeing, a suite of solutions focused on safety, injury prevention, and wellness for a newly created workforce.

Will Smith, Chief Commercial Officer at One Call, recently spoke with Melissa Ross of WJCT – a Jacksonville-based NPR affiliate – about how these solutions can be a resource for companies and their employees.

Workforce Wellbeing Solutions

• Safety:
  As employees return to work, we can help employers properly prepare their facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through: 
   
  • Health screenings
  • On-site COVID-19 testing
  • Symptom management education and protocols
  • Contact tracing
  • Distribution of personal protection equipment (PPE) to ensure employee safety
     
• Wellness:
  Prior to COVID-19, only seven percent of the U.S. workforce had the option to regularly work from home. The pandemic rapidly changed that, forcing millions of employees to work remotely. As a result, many are not equipped with the proper equipment or workspace, leading to poor posture, or worse, injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and sprains/strains. Our team can provide tools and resources to prevent this, including:
   
  • Ergonomic and workplace assessments
  • Printable wellness guides
  • Creation of company-sponsored wellness programs  
     
• Injury Prevention:
  The importance of injury prevention has been top-of-mind for many as furloughed employees with physically demanding jobs return to work after months of being sedentary.   We can help address these concerns through:
   
  • Work hardening and conditioning programs
  • Post-Offer Employment Testing (POET)/Fit for Duty Testing to ensure employees are ready for workplace demands
