Stretch for Success – Proactive Prevention with Corporate Programs HR Meeting June 14
A healthy workforce and a safe work environment are key to the success of an organization’s mission. Properly training employees on self-care can greatly prevent unnecessary costs related to workers’ compensation.
A one-hour interactive program will focus on prevention of injury and improving employees’ postural awareness and correction at the monthly meeting of JSAHR (The Jersey Shore Association for Human Resources), open to the public, Thursday, June 14, 2018, from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., at Jumping Brook Country Club, 210 Jumping Brook Road, Neptune, N.J.
Rhea O’Connor, a physical therapist, will introduce a time-efficient stretching program that can be incorporated into the typical day of more sedentary employees that will help reduce the risk of muscular skeletal disorders by reducing fatigue and stiffness; and by improving posture, muscular balance, and flexibility. Attendees will receive handouts as reference for the education and training of employees in the work place.
The registration fee, including a full buffet breakfast, is $30.00 for JSAHR members; $40.00 for nonmembers; $25.00 for guests and those in-transition, and $10.00 for full-time students. Sponsorship for this meeting is still available.
