OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
Occupational health is an essential part of any business. Healthy and happy employees are also more productive, ensuring steady growth for your business. Work is where most of us spend about two-thirds of the time we’re awake throughout the day, 5 days a week. If we’re not feeling our best, both physically and mentally, our performance at work and the balance between work and our personal lives can struggle.
Some of our goals include lowering absenteeism, improving company culture, increasing retention, and decreasing employee stress. Our services tackle also safety procedures at work, health screenings, pre-placement tests, and the much-needed assistance program for employees which covers a wide range of counseling topics like a life transition, stress, grief, depression, financial coaching, legal advice, etc. Don’t ignore the importance of a healthy and safe workplace. Invest in your biggest asset, your employees. No matter how big or small your organization is, your employees are an integral part of your company after their well- being is hugely important in helping productivity levels in the workplace.

HEALTH SCREENING
An employee health screening and assessment describes a set of tests and measures used to improve well-being and identify health risks among staff. Corporate health screenings and work health assessments can be beneficial to both employees and the companies they work for. A corporate health screening aims to help employees identify any areas of concern surrounding their health. Through a series of testing and questioning, each employee can find out more about the current state of their health. From the data that is collected from these screenings, guidance is then offered to help with future lifestyle choices so each person can work towards being healthier and happier. A workplace health assessment helps to identify the current picture of health at a company as well as ways to improve it that can potentially increase productivity, decrease absenteeism, and control healthcare costs for both employees and the organization as a whole. Since healthy employees are a valuable asset to any organization, employee health checkups are becoming popular with many forward-thinking employers. Creating a healthier workplace can pose a significant challenge for employers. However, regular office health checks and robust employee health screening programs can raise awareness of health issues, identify problems, and promote a healthier lifestyle for all staff.
Good health can result in increased productivity for businesses, revenue, and employee well-being.

FITNESS
Fitness deals with a range of people, including those already practicing sports or physical activities, or other groups who have a more sedentary lifestyle. Having some kind of regular activity is not always easy to fit into our busy life schedules, but it should be, because of its known effects on health and overall wellbeing. We know that staying active is one of the best ways to keep our bodies healthy. But did you know that regular physical activity can also improve your overall well-being and quality of life? Studies show just one hour of physical activity can prolong your life by three hours.
We propose a vast array of services, to improve mobility and to give chances to everyone to find themselves, from yoga and pilates classes to sports activities with your coworkers to activity-based games and challenges, making it more fun and entertaining, still with the security of being in the hands of the best professionals in the field.
Receiving expert advice, attending seminars, reading well-being articles, and going along to group classes can all contribute positively. But, for some, being part of a large group isn’t as encouraging. That’s why one-on-one health/wellbeing coaching can be beneficial.

Stress is one of the most common challenges employees face. When stress becomes chronic, it can have dangerous effects on an employee’s health and well-being. Also, unmanaged stress can have disastrous consequences in the workplace. Stressed employees often have trouble concentrating, struggle to stay productive, and are susceptible to burnout (physical or mental collapse). Fortunately, employers can address workplace stress and help reduce its effects in the office. One of the best ways to do this is to offer workplace stress management programs. The mission of the Stress Management Program offered by “ORIGIN” for different companies regardless of the number of employees, is to foster individual and community well-being by energizing work climates, enhancing relationships, and maximizing personal strengths.
