Job dictionaries
A Job Dictionary is a single document — tailored to your organisation — with information about specific job tasks, requirements for different roles, as well as the physical, cognitive and behavioural demands of each task.
Your Job Dictionary will identify critical physical demands and high-risk areas of a role. You’ll be able to recognise risks associated with job roles and develop strategies to lower that risk accordingly. It’ll map out tools for identifying suitable duties for injured workers in return-to-work plans by providing their medical practitioner with a greater understanding of their job requirements. You will also be able to create job specific pre-employment medicals and ensure that candidates are functionally capable of completing the job role.
PRE HAB Injury Prevention Program
This preventative exercise program is ideal for an ageing workforce. With an individual functional capacity assessment for each participant, the program then provides a tailored exercise program that is used to manage a current injury or reduce the risk of potential injuries based on their assessment. Participants are provided with their program through a free and easy to use phone app to assist with long-term adherence to the program.
Health assessments
Our Health Assessments give us medical insights on staff health and wellbeing. We then use these insights to make informed decisions on personalised and group treatment plans if you decide to move forward with one of our Programs or Workshops. Absolute Balance provides two types of Health Assessments, depending on your needs.
- Executive Assessment — 60-minute health assessments involving blood testing, heart health check and physical testing.
- Basic Assessment — 20-minute assessment involving blood testing and heart health check.
Programs & workshops
Fit to Waist Away Health Challenge
Designed to encourage healthy behaviours and increased physical activity, the Health Challenge includes initial and final fitness testing so we can track the results. Your team will enjoy group exercise — which also provides an opportunity for a new shared experience to boost team culture — and lunch and learn information sessions. The Health Challenge has different duration options from 6 – 12 weeks, depending on what fits your workplace best.
FIT HAB Injury Prevention Program
This program is group-based and designed to use evidence-based strategies to reduce workplace injuries for high-risk work groups. Participants complete a combined theoretical and practical workshop where they gain an understanding of musculoskeletal risks associated with their job roles. Practical strategies are then provided to manage and reduce their overall risk associated with their job role.
Neural FX
Neural FX is an evidence-based program based on the scientific principles of developmental kinesiology (how the body moves). Through this initiative, we assist workers and help them retrain their brain in order to reduce workplace injuries. Neural FX is especially successful for workers with a high injury risk.
Health & Injury Prevention Training Workshops
This workshop includes our Neural FX program, as well as Manual Task Training and Office Ergonomics Training. We also provide Health and Wellbeing Seminars for your team, covering a breadth of important topics like exercise, fatigue, nutrition, health, and more.
