Protecting your workforce at every step— from day one to day one hundred and beyond.

Prevent injuries before they happen.

New hires are up to 5x more likely to get hurt in their first year. WORKFORM’s New Hire is a proactive, hands-on training program delivered during onboarding—without slowing down your hiring process. We teach safe movement and body mechanics tailored to real job tasks, helping employees build injury resilience from day one.

Work reintegration, done right.

We specialize in work re-integration strategies that align with medical restrictions and real job demands. As licensed physical therapists, we design compliant light duty roles and coach employees on how to work safely—reducing the risk of re-injury while restoring productivity.

Our Tailored Services

For New Hires

The first year on the job is the most critical for injury risk, with new hires being five times more likely to get hurt. WORKFORM’s New Hire program provides personalized, hands-on training in safe movement techniques tailored to specific job tasks. Delivered during the onboarding process without disrupting hiring, this proactive approach helps new employees build safe work habits from day one—reducing strain, preventing injury, and setting them up for long-term success.

For Employees Returning to Work

Nearly 50% of employees returning after an injury experience re-injury, with the highest risk occurring within the first six months—and persisting for up to four years. WORKFORM’s Return to Work provides personalized support during this critical period. Our licensed physical therapists work one-on-one with employees, tailoring guidance based on their physical condition and injury history. This targeted coaching helps ensure a safe, successful transition back to work while minimizing the risk of re-injury.

One-on-One Support for High-Risk Scenarios

New hires and returning employees face high injury risks, making personalized support essential. WORKFORM’s New Hire & Return to Work offers one-on-one guidance from licensed physical therapists, tailored to each employee’s role, needs, and concerns. From safe lifting techniques to gradual re-integration strategies, our approach ensures employees feel confident, capable, and protected—reducing the risk of both initial injuries and re-injuries.

Light Duty Role Creation

WORKFORM’s New Hire and Return-to-Work programs are specifically designed to support employees entering the workforce or returning after injury. A cornerstone of this service is the creation of light duty roles, crafted by our licensed physical therapists (DPTs) in accordance with physician guidelines. Leveraging our clinical expertise and in-depth understanding of movement, ergonomics, and functional limitations, we design customized work assignments that safely accommodate temporary restrictions while maintaining employee productivity. These roles ensure individuals can reintegrate into the workplace efficiently, safely, and confidently, minimizing re-injury risk and promoting long-term workforce health. By providing this tailored approach, WORKFORM helps organizations maintain compliance, protect employees, and
maximize the value of their workforce even during transitional periods.
