What Workplace Medical does

Workplace Medical Corp. (WMC) is a privately held Canadian occupational health services provider founded in 1950 and headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario. The company delivers an integrated portfolio spanning occupational health (pre-placement medicals, medical surveillance, drug and alcohol testing, immunizations, regulated exams), absence and disability management (leave tracking software, short-term disability and workers compensation case management, return-to-work support), occupational safety training, workplace wellness programs, and hearing conservation services. Its proprietary Prevent-Respond-Return methodology connects these service lines around the goal of reducing avoidable employee absences, and is supported by two named software products — the Leave and Absence Management Software and the Digital Wellness Platform — plus a secure Client Portal for account management and reporting.

Service delivery is hybrid: 11 WMC-owned occupational health clinics across Ontario and British Columbia are combined with a network of 180+ partner clinics in Canada and 150+ in the United States, mobile onsite clinical teams, and dedicated onsite clinic staffing models that range from one day per week to continuous coverage. GTM is enterprise field sales to employers under formal service agreements, with per-unit pricing for select offerings (e.g., approximately $16 per employee for onsite flu vaccination) and custom annual subscriptions for bundled programs. Customers span manufacturing, energy, transportation, retail, public sector, education, healthcare, mining, and professional services, with named logos including Costco, Bombardier, General Motors, Enbridge, Hydro One, Ontario Power Generation, Coca-Cola Canada Bottling, DuPont Canada, Goodyear, National Bank of Canada, Toronto Police Service, TDSB, TCDSB, and Guelph General Hospital; the company reports serving over 5,000 organizations in total. In 2024, WMC acquired Walsh & Associates Occupational Health to extend its Eastern Ontario footprint and acquired CBHM to broaden occupational safety services.
