As part of their continuous commitment to enhancing workforce health and safety, a leading security services provider sought to reduce fitness-related injuries across their overseas operations. In high-risk environments where physical preparedness is crucial, managing injury rates is key to maintaining both operational readiness and employee well-being.
The organization partnered with WTW to address their unique injury challenges, particularly in reducing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) tied to fitness activities – a common concern given the physical demands of their roles. Leveraging WTW’s expertise in high-risk occupation loss control and with additional support from our carrier partner, we developed a combination of tailored solutions that would ultimately lead to significant improvements in injury prevention, without the need for extensive program restructuring or additional resources.
In physically demanding roles, employees face increased risks of MSDs and other fitness-related injuries, impacting both individual health and operational efficiency. Recognizing the importance of proactively managing these risks, the organization sought to lower injury rates, streamline claims management, and improve return-to-work outcomes.
WTW’s collaborative approach focused on implementing tailored injury prevention and wellness initiatives, designed to address specific risks within this workforce. By leveraging sports medicine principles, advanced fitness tools and targeted claims management, WTW supported the organization in building a sustainable health and safety program. Key elements of our solution included:
Through this multifaceted approach, the organization saw a significant reduction in fitness-related injury rates within the first year, underscoring the effectiveness of a holistic, data-informed strategy.

WTW continues to work closely with the organization to build upon these successes, exploring additional ways to leverage data, technology and industry-leading wellness practices. By prioritizing workforce health and safety through innovative solutions, WTW is helping this security services provider maintain a resilient, capable and healthier workforce.
