Find relief for on-the-job discomfort

What starts as a minor ache or discomfort can lead to a much bigger health concern if ignored too long. And, that could mean time off from work and potential loss of compensation. Norton Healthcare employees can schedule a free early symptom intervention assessment with Briotix Health, a leading provider of workforce performance services, at the first signs of an issue.

If you experience discomfort in your work tasks, a Briotix specialist can assess your situation and provide recommendations for relief. They also offer ergonomic assessments of your workspace to emphasize early detection and even prevention of discomfort and physical strain. Recommendations are personalized to each employee and focus on job coaching.

The Briotix specialist can visit your work area or meet with you virtually if you are working from home to discuss your situation privately. You will receive recommendations and simple action steps to help you prevent long-lasting injuries that could affect your work and life.To schedule an individual evaluation, email [email protected] or call (866) 996-1735,  ext. 2154
