Employee Wellness and Safety - Helping Everyone be Their Version of a Jobsite Athlete with Kelly Lynch Feldkamp

The Wake Up Eager Workforce Podcast

It is hard to Wake Up Eager when you are in physical pain. In this episode, I speak with Kelly Lynch Feldkamp, founder of Provention Plus, about how wellness programs impact company culture, how soft tissue injuries impact your bottom line, how everybody is a Jobsite Athlete, and the benefit of understanding the impact of posture and movement in the workplace.

Provention Plus is an on-site injury prevention company that is changing the way companies take care of their manual labor or craft employees. Kelly is also the creator of the Move Better Program, which has been used by thousands of jobsite athletes over the last 20 years. She has a passion for helping Jobsite Athletes reduce the discomfort that has been accepted as a necessary part of manual labor professions.

The biggest component of Provention Plus is making a connection with each human they interact with beyond the correction and prevention of their injuries. Ensuring that someone cares about them at work is key to promoting wellness in the workplace, and you can’t prevent injuries just based on what a Jobsite Athlete is doing only on the job. These people have lives beyond their work that also impact their performance, and you have to look at the whole individual to get the best care and prevention for each individual.

Another important thing to remember is that we are all Jobsite Athletes. Whether you are doing manual labor on a job site or sitting at your desk all day, we are all prone to soft tissue injuries from ignoring the needs of our bodies in our job roles. We all have a body that needs to feel great for us to perform at our jobs, and we need to do what we can to counteract the toll that our work takes on our bodies.

I know you’re going to love this episode and the tips and tricks that Kelly shares. Tune in today to hear more about wellness in the workplace and what you can do to make sure that you keep your body feeling great so you can continue to Wake Up Eager!
