Why Choose Workplace Medical Corp.? 

Workplace Medical Corp. is your single source partner, we can help you to reduce avoidable absences. This is the key to increasing productivity and reducing the burdens and expenses that absence management and occupational health have on your business.

Solutions that translate to measureable savings in your absence costs

WMC understands that the costs and impact of occupational health and employee absence extend beyond the more obvious outlay for WSIB , casual, short and long term disability (STD/LTD) expenses. Overall productivity is affected when workers are absent, and a burden is placed on your human resources team and management staff to manage and communicate about these absences.

We can help reduce the costs of avoidable absencens, both direct and in-direct, by not only helping you to manage medical issues, but also to improve business productivity and reduce administrative and WSIB/STD expenses. To accomplish this, we address three key pillars:

Prevent: Reduce avoidable absences

  • Reduce absenteeism and improve your health and safety management system.
  • Reduce WSIB and STD costs by implementing proactive policies that prevent or minimize absences.
     

Respond: Streamline processes to maximize efficiency and productivity

  • Increase the efficiency of the absence notification process with a dedicated call center that fits seamlessly into your business processes.  This takes the burden of notification administration off the shoulders of your managers.
  • Implement a technology solution to support a consistent recording of relevant absence details.  Leverage this technology to activate the appropriate workflows of communication and actions.
  • Consistently collect relevant information to understand the impact of absence on your business with a centralized information management system to track and monitor employee absences and health care records.
