Fit-For-Work Program
Employees that have a lack of endurance, flexibility, strength, and stamina will be the highest risk group for contributions to workplace injuries that also have physically demanding jobs. Many modern-day physical jobs still involve work with tasks that require muscular endurance, stamina, and flexibility.
This is particularly important for employees that have physically demanding jobs like:
- mining and related industry
- construction and labour work
- production and transport
- rescue services and rigging
It can be challenging for companies to define how "fit-for-work" their employees need to be to complete their work related tasks. What is alarming is the under-emphasised focus of many companies in recent years to provide their employees with a "fit-for-work" program.
Occupational Health and Safety is not about providing a "safe" working environment, whilst neglecting the "health" component. Companies and businesses that strive in a competitive job market also provide effective strategies to maintain workplace "health" and enhance the fitness levels within the workforce. This then leads to an increase in employee productivity and a minimisation in workplace injuries.
Other indirect costs associated with an unhealthy workforce include lower productivity levels, lost time injuries, loss of income for the injured worker or even a loss of life as a result of overexertion on the job.
The Leaping Through Life "fit-for-work" program is a two step process. Firstly we will test and measure your employees with relevant fitness or work related tests. We then follow up this regular testing with an appropriate program for your workforce. This two step process enables us to be more targeted in designing a tailored program to match your overall workforce.
Our professional tailored Leaping Through Life "fit-for-work" programs are non-contact in nature and are based on the same training principles that Coach Cameron Roberts has used for 20 years on elite athletes and weight loss clients. The programs can achieve results quickly and also improve employee morale.
Employees who are fit, healthy and happy will be more productive and reduce the amount of potential injuries they incur whilst at work.
This is not a bootcamp program like you see on TV that has some crazy person screaming at your people. Coach Cameron is a professional coach with over 20 years sports coaching and athletic conditioning experience. Your employees will work at their own pace to keep themselves active, healthly and "fit-for-work" - which is in line with Occupational Health and Safety Standards.

Corporate Health Overhaul
The Leaping Through Life "Corporate Health Overhaul" combines the above "fit-for-work" program with weekly or monthly thirty minute workshops to educate and inspire your workforce in the areas of personal health and injury prevention.
Safe Work Australia has estimated the cost of work-related injuries as $57.5 billion dollars in 2005-06 (http://www.abs.gov.au)
Even office professionals suffer from workplace stress mentally, emotionally and physically. The demands of the job, constant interruptions from technology, mismanagement of electronic devices, demanding clients and co-workers and an inactive job quite often lead to office workers accounting for the higher number of stress related absenteeism.
"Stress-related presenteeism and absenteeism are costing the Australian economy $14.81 billion a year. Stress-related presenteeism and absenteeism are directly costing employers $10.11 billion a year."(http://www.medibank.com.au/Client/Documents/Pdfs/The-Cost-of-Workplace-Stress.pdf)
