Currie Wellness Program
For more than fifty years, Currie Management Consultants has worked alongside dealers and distributors in some of the most physically demanding industries in North America. Material handling, power generation, transport refrigeration, air compressors, commercial tires, and heavy equipment, and the people who keep these businesses running work hard, and the work is not easy on the body.
That reality has always been part of the conversation we have with our clients. It shows up in your workers’ compensation premiums, in your Experience Modification Rate, in your health benefit costs, in the productivity you lose every time a technician or floor worker goes down with an injury that could have been prevented. These are not small numbers. A single serious workers’ compensation claim can carry a fully-loaded cost of $100,000 or more once indirect expenses are factored in. Multiply that by claim frequency over three years and you begin to understand why your EMR sits where it does, and what it is quietly costing you in both premium penalties and lost contract eligibility.
The Currie Wellness Program is a structured workplace wellness offering designed for companies that recognize the cost of doing nothing.
The numbers are not abstract. Employer health insurance costs now average more than $15,000 per employee per year. For every dollar spent on a direct workers’ compensation claim, research indicates that another $2.12 exits through indirect costs: overtime coverage, productivity loss, administrative burden, and retraining. Industries like yours, where overexertion, awkward posture, repetitive movement, and manual material handling drive the majority of musculoskeletal claims, carry injury rates that run well above national averages.
The Currie Wellness Program addresses these costs directly, through programming built around the specific physical demands of your workforce.

Evidence-based nutrition guidance tailored to working adults. Not diet culture. Practical frameworks for fueling performance, managing weight, and reducing the chronic disease risk that drives your long-term health benefit costs.
Lifestyle and Stress Management
Programming that addresses sleep, recovery, and the behavioral patterns that sit underneath most chronic health conditions.
All of this is delivered through the Currie Wellness application, available on iPhone and Android. The platform can be custom-branded for your company, giving your team access to programming, content, and tracking under your name.
Individual Wellness Coaching, at a Currie Rate
For employees who want more than a group program, Marco offers individualized coaching: a fully customized approach to training, nutrition, and lifestyle built around that person’s specific goals, schedule, and physical history.
Any employee of a company that works with Currie Management Consultants is eligible for this service at a preferred rate. If you have someone on your team who is coming off an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply ready to make a real change, this is a direct path to the kind of support that actually moves the needle.
Educational Content
We are building and expanding a library of educational resources across all of the areas above: nutrition, stretching and mobility, strength training, cardiovascular fitness, and lifestyle. These resources are designed to be practical and accessible for working adults, not clinical documents or generic wellness pamphlets. The goal is content your team will actually read, watch, and use.
