We combine our experience and knowledge to adapt to various industries and business functions. Our extensive research on Musculoskeletal disorders associated with poor posture and productivity losses of the most successful compa-nies in the world is why Global Wellness is able to collaborate with customers to help them become high-performance organizations, both internally and
externally.
Musculoskeletal disorders Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) include over 200 conditions causing pain and functional impairment to people living with them. They include widely known conditions such as arthritis and back pain, injuries caused by trauma, such as fractures, and other conditions that are the result of genetic or developmental
abnormalities. MSDs affect:
Muscles Ligaments Nerves
Joints Tendons Vessels
Introduction
Working On-Site, we help compa-nies analyze, correct and prevent the most costly components that cause health related productivity loss - empowering their employ-ees with greater productivity, job satisfaction, lower absenteeism and presenteeism.
Our unique services target the physical conditions as well as the mental, and very importantly the culture of the population, by inspiring a Wellness Lifestyle and personal accountability.
We install and manage On-Site Clinics to

Absenteeism
According to research by Mercer, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
were identified as the cause of 78% of absences.
Presenteeism
Studies show that rarely are your employees working at 100%
productivity rates. This is due to
symptoms, medical conditions, or
even side effects from treatments
and/or medication, inevitably
resulting in significant indirect
medical costs:
Cost Avoidance
Following our philosophy that
“Wellness is a Lifestyle”, our one-of-a-kind pioneer method
delivers unprecedented medical
Cost Avoidance.
We help companies analyze, correct and prevent all compo-nents that cause health related productivity loss - empowering their employees with greater
productivity, job satisfaction,
lower absenteeism and
presenteeism.
It is a proven phenomenon that
20% of employees are responsible for 80% of the direct and indirect
medical costs and lost
productiv-ity. Our objective is to detect and
convert the high cost members to a low cost, and more importantly prevent the low cost members
from transitioning into higher costs.
How
The nervous system runs
throughout our body composed
of nerves that are transmitting
electrical and chemical impulses
that promote the functioning of our body.
Without interruptions or external
interferences the body has the ability to function in a nearly perfect state, which translates into health and wellbeing. If any interference occurs, the nervous
system cannot send the proper
signal or information.
Thus, any interference in the
nervous system caused by poor posture when sitting, standing or
lifting objects may adversely affect
how it relates to the organs and the various body functions result -ing in most medical conditions and symptoms responsible for absenteeism and presenteeism.

“Unlike absenteeism, presenteeism isn't always apparent. You know when someone doesn't show up for work, but you often can't tell when - or how much - illness or a medical condition hinders someone's performance”
