Workplace Wellbeing

We spend nearly a third of our lives at work and more workplaces than ever are acknowledging and supporting their employees’ health and well-being. I provide Ergonomic Assessments for work stations in both the office and home environments for employees who have additional or complex postural or medical needs. I also assess for the Workplace Needs Assessment Grant and provide detailed compliant reports which identify reasonable accommodations, environmental adaptations and adaptive equipment. I complete Functional Capacity Evaluations and provide recommendations regarding: modified duties, ergonomic supports and rest periods in compliance with Irish Employment Legislation.

 

I provide Occupational Therapy based workshops which allow participants to improve and maintain their health and quality of life. The workshops are based on the Occupational Therapy principle of Lifestyle Redesign. Workshops focus on real world solutions and provide participants with the support to develop their own personal health toolkits. The workshops are underpinned by the ethos of preventative healthcare management and use lifestyle strategies, education and goal setting to support participants. At the end of each workshop participants leave with their own personal plan which allows them to decide on goals and changes to their lifestyle which will improve and maintain their health and wellbeing. The Codladh Sámh, Sleep Well, Live Better  workshop can be tailored to different work settings and cohorts and empowers participants to make achievable realistic changes to support their sleep to improve their present and future health.

 

The second Occupational Therapy based workshop I provide is called: Living Well - Healthy Aging  which focuses on healthy aging throughout the lifespan. This workshop provides participants with a practical toolkit on how they can support and maintain their health for their own particular stage in life from a Lifestyle Redesign perspective. This workshop is personalised depending on the age profile of the cohort. For example, some business’ have a younger age profile of young/ middle aged employees who have specific demands on their health during middle adulthood. For other industries they have an older workforce who may benefit from pre-retirement planning and support.
