Health Software Company 2CRisk is leading the way of companies in the growing industry of employee health systems with the launch of their Human Risk management solution in South Africa in September.
Charles Parsons and Mark Cassidy, will take 2CRisk to the OSH Expo Africa Trade Exhibition, held in Johannesburg early in September to pitch to clients from across the African continent and to develop an already existing marketplace.
The Johannesburg and Brisbane (Australia) company has spent 6 years developing a unique ‘cloud based’ risk management software solution that can save companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in the cost of workplace related injuries, lost productivity and reduced insurance premiums. The philosophy of the company and the software is to maintain the
health of the workforce and reduce the risk of injury by providing a tool that genuinely allows an organization to value their most important asset – their people.
Whilst Calibre is currently offering a comprehensive and holistic Wellness Program across Africa and South East Asia dealing with lost productivity, as well as loss of life, this newly launched 2CRisk is an enormous leap in improved monitoring and reporting on organisational and individual wellness. Parsons says the enhanced program seeks to deal with the negative impacts of workplace injury and individual wellbeing and keep employees economically active through the management of the physical as well as the emotional aspects of wellbeing. Parsons says that to date the ability to accurately quantify the impact as well as ROI in respect to Wellness Program as well as other health interventions has been enormously difficult or impossible because information has been in various silos. However through this new venture that Parsons says that this valuable information will now be available to benchmark industries and more accurately report on organizational and individual wellness.
“We’ll be looking for a greater understanding of the health risk requirements needed in Africa so that they may be included in future releases of 2CRisk,” said Mark Cassidy. “This will also aid overseas organizations hoping to gain work in Africa, where health exposures are different to those in their country of origin. ”
Mark Cassidy is no stranger to the OHS and Risk industry. With over 16 years experience in the rehabilitation and return to work sector, Cassidy can boast a wealth of knowledge in areas of pre-employment risk, innovative injury management and human risk management. “As companies look for ways to save money across the board and retain skilled workers in a tight labor market, we believe that proactively managing the health and wellbeing of the workforce is paramount. Whether you have 10 employees, or 10,000 employees, we have yet to see any client who hasn’t made a huge impact into the health of their employees and contractors whilst reducing their cost base through the use 2CRisk,” said Mark. “We believe we can take these lessons and make this software a force in the marketplace around the world.”
