A Strategic Approach for Every GSF Associate
We recognize that different roles have different demands. Our program is customized to support every segment of your team, ensuring no one is left behind.
The "Industrial Athlete"
Manufacturing/Distribution teams benefit from correcting movement patterns, reducing repetitive strain, and improving lifting mechanics through onsite specialists, in-the-moment coaching, and ergonomic assessments.
The "Road Warrior"
QCD Drivers overcome challenges of sedentary postures, manage fatigue, and practice on-the-go self-care with our ProVention Plus Mobile App, digital warmups, and onsite support at depots.
The "Corporate Athlete"
Headquarters staff mitigate issues from prolonged sitting, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive performance through workstation ergonomics, wellness workshops, and targeted 1-on-1 sessions.
Measuring What Matters: The Path to a Resilient Workforce
Our success is measured by the direct impact we have on your people. We focus on three core KPIs that create a powerful positive feedback loop.
Decreased Discomfort Levels
We track the reduction in daily aches and pains using simple before-and-after reporting from employees. When people feel better, they are more engaged, focused, and productive.
Improved Functional Movement
We assess and track improvements in how well employees move through job-specific tasks, focusing on balance, flexibility, and strength. Better movement means greater efficiency and reduced physical stress.
Reduced Soft Tissue Injuries
We benchmark against GSF’s historical data to demonstrate a clear reduction in the frequency and severity of soft tissue incidents. This directly reduces costs and keeps your skilled teams healthy and on the job.
The Resilience Loop
These metrics are interconnected. By focusing on reducing discomfort and improving movement, we build a more resilient workforce. Employees who feel and move better are better equipped to handle physical demands, directly leading to a reduction in injuries and dramatically shortening recovery time if an incident does occur.
A Strategic 12-Month Pilot to Validate Impact & Build for Scale
We propose a focused 12-month pilot in a single, high-impact GSF region. The goal is to prove our programs value and efficacy using an objective functional movement analysis and GSF's own injury data and employee feedback, creating a blueprint that is repeatable, scalable, and adaptable to your facilities nationwide.
Pilot Purpose
Establish KPI's to validate impact of the program and demonstrate ProVention's ability to meet the demands of GSF's nationwide operation.
Region Selection Criteria
Diverse job functions, sufficient employee density (150+), supportive leadership, and logistical feasibility for optimal implementation.
Success Metrics
Clear data collection, measurable outcomes, and quantitative analysis to demonstrate value and inform potential expansion strategy.
