Back Safe
Happy New Year from the Backsafe ® Team!
As we bid 2016 farewell, we'd like to take a moment to both reflect and look forward toward the future. We recently reflected on some of the great moments we've had over the past 12 months.  Here are some highlights from our FIT Executive Team.
Dennis
Due to our expanded Quality Control Department, we were able to hear directly about our Backsafe® and Sittingsafe® training results from our clients.  24 years ago we started this company with the purpose of helping people to reduce pain and workplace injuries. Not only have we have heard so many stories from employees about the personal health benefits that they have experienced, but the companies they work for have reported significant workers' comp savings.  - Dennis
Julie
The feedback from recently trained employees. While I know that what we do does change lives, it becomes "regular" and I forget that most people don't know the information we impart. It is very new to them, and just what they needed! It is very refreshing and gratifying to receive these types of sincere comments. I love being a part of that.  - Julie
Doug
I like knowing that we can have an impact no matter what environment we're going into. For example, I did a survey with a supervisor, whose department we recently trained in the midwest. He was a happy, happy camper. He said that he has one guy who never listens to anybody, in spite of the fact that he was already injured. Even that employee became captivated by the training, and has since been doing his job using the safer techniques that were taught in his Backsafe® class. - Doug
Nancy
What is always my most favorite experience is when I do a follow-up on Personal Worksite Evaluations, and the person comes back and says that all of the pain they were experiencing is gone. The evaluation and recommendations fixed their problems and that the trainer was very helpful and informative. That's the best part of the job.  - Nancy
Erica
After working personally with companies of all size and description to schedule thousands of Backsafe®/Sittingsafe® workshops across North America, it is very rewarding to know I am helping to prevent very painful and life altering injuries for so many people. I enjoy knowing there's potential to save even more people from pain and injury, since Backsafe classes inspire people to share their new knowledge with family and friends at home. The ripple effect is very cool! - Erica
Liz
As many of you are aware, FIT moved to new office premises this year. It was a big job to relocate, but it's been a great change! We were able to consolidate more staff under one roof, which has made things much more efficient and cohesive. We're a stronger team because of it! - Liz
Pearl
FIT presented at numerous conferences around the country. It's been rewarding to help spread the news that injuries can be prevented. It's also been very encouraging to see that companies really do want to help their employees in this effective and economical way. - Pearl
