How you can stop chronic pain from biting into your P&L statement?

Is chronic pain eating your profits?

Have you ever been in pain?

What about chronic pain?

Yep. You know this nightmare.

But have you thought about how chronic pain could also affect your personal or business P & L?

If you have you are probably as unhappy about it as we are.

So what should you do about it?

Has pain affected your P&L statement this financial year?

Most of us will squirm at that question.

But we all know what it’s like to be in pain.

Yet most of us suffer in silence. And try to ignore it until we can’t anymore.

Even when the pain makes us:

• Grumpy and frustrated
• Exhausted and uninspired
• De-motivated and easily upset
• Unable to concentrate
  

None of us can hide from the effects of pain on our businesses and our bank accounts. 

'Absenteeism costs Australia around $7 billion per year. And presenteeism is worse, clocking in at a whopping $26 billion per year.'



The average employee takes $3,608 in sick leave every year it's scary to think what that blows out to for a top tier professional.

But what else is chronic pain costing your business? Think about:

• Employee turnover
• Psychological health
• Poor performance
• Lost work hours
• Extended lunches
• Doctors appointments
• Employee frustration

How many hard-earned dollars are being poured down the drain?

But enough doom and gloom.

Time for action.

What should you do about it?

We suggest you check-in with yourself and your employees.

Are any of them in pain? Estimate how much it's affecting your bottom line.

Once you know what you're dealing with, it will be easier to find a solution.

And here's more good news...

Chronic pain is not a life sentence

You (and your employees) CAN escape the trap of chronic pain.

Here are a few simple things you can do in your workplace to reduce pain:

• Encourage exercise (specifically tailored to them, be wary of "general" recommendations or one size fits all solutions because they can cause more harm than good)
• Carefully selected ergonomic furniture (again work with specialists)
• Aim for a smoke-free workplace (we know this one is hard!)
• Encourage real and nutritious food in the office and at events

But what happens when the quick fixes aren't enough?

Sometimes people have been in pain for years. Maybe even decades.

And honestly... A fruit bowl at the reception desk isn’t going to solve that!

So what's a better, long-term solution?

How to kick chronic pain to the curb!

The answer is actually really simple.

Get to the bottom of why they are in pain in the first place.

People are in pain for complicated reasons:

• Old injuries
• Repetitive strain and muscular imbalance
• Poor posture and joint dysfunction
  
• Poorly executed manual labour
• Medical conditions



You name it. Someone who works for you has it. These are not simple conditions that a gym membership or standing desk will fix.

'It's like giving a 1st year lawyer a textbook and telling them to go win a case.'

'Your best long-term bet is to address the root cause of chronic pain.'

We've seen it a thousand times at Recalibrate.

People come to us in terrible pain and often no one has been able to help them.

But that changes as soon as we take the time to slowly uncover the underlying reasons of their pain.

We take a multi-dimensional approach and assess your:

• Drives, passions, and motivations
• Work pressures and responsibilities
• Stress, worries, or anxieties
  
• Family and home commitments
• Any physical pain or discomfort in your body
• Foods that make you feel very good or very bad
  

All of the above can affect your pain, profit, and life enjoyment.

After careful exploration, we can show you what's possible when we address causes, not symptoms.

Business owners have doubled their staff, increased profit by 50% and revenue by 30% after one year working with Recalibrate.

We're not kidding.

We’ve seen family relationships improve, stress levels drop and productivity soar.

What would a lack of pain mean to your bottom line?
