Optimum Training Ltd

Optimum Training is a New Zealand workplace injury prevention educator that helps businesses improve employee wellbeing and reduce sprain and strain injuries. Its onsite programmes focus on changing everyday behaviours, building physical resilience and developing practical self-management skills. Rather than relying only on traditional manual handling instructions or workplace design changes, Optimum Training helps people recognise how their habits, beliefs and actions can contribute to discomfort and injury.

The company’s MoveSmart programmes include Essential, Comprehensive, Premium Plus, Champions and Office options, alongside workplace assessments and training. Sessions use practical activities and coaching to help employees develop intuitive risk-assessment skills and find safer, strain-free ways to approach work tasks. The approach aims to make injury prevention clear and usable across work, home and everyday movement.

Optimum Training says its programmes can help businesses address pain, fatigue, injury rates, absenteeism and lost-time costs, while supporting productivity and a stronger health and safety culture. It also offers free workplace injury prevention resources, including an e-book.
