• Have you observed a decline in employee productivity and engagement?
• Are alcohol and drug test positivity rates steadily increasing?
• Is your team failing to meet safety standards?
• Are your employees struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance?
• Are high employee turnover rates impacting your business?
• Have staff complained of “burnout”?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, it may be time to prioritize the wellbeing of your workforce.  At WorkSafe International, we specialize in improving employee performance and safety by targeting employee health and wellbeing.

WorkSafe International (WSI) is a training and consulting firm that uniquely aims to reduce safety incidents and boost individual, team, and organizational performance by enhancing worker wellbeing.  At WSI, we believe that worker safety and performance are intimately linked to worker health and wellbeing.  It’s simple: Employees who feel good and think positively are more likely to show up for work on time, and more likely to get their work done safely and at a high level. 

Don’t get us wrong.  WSI cares about the work itself, but our focus is on the person DOING the work.  WorkSafe’s employee-centered approach and unwavering commitment to worker wellbeing promotes a thriving business that is safer and ultimately more profitable. 

Our consultancy caters to businesses of all sizes, ranging from small single-location companies to large multinational corporations.  WSI also serves a wide variety of industries such as construction, oil and gas, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, hospitality, and many others.  WorkSafe’s tailored approach to boosting worker wellbeing directly translates to a more productive workplace, where employees feel valued, empowered, and safe—both physically and mentally.
