Case Study: U.S. Food Wholesaler cuts workplace injuries to zero and boosts productivity 35% with Exos

Reducing Workplace Injuries and Employee Burnout

U.S. Food Wholesaler, a large grocery distribution warehouse, faced chronic pain, fatigue, frequent work‑related injuries and early employee burnout from long, repetitive 12–14 hour shifts. To reduce injuries and improve retention and performance, Exos was engaged to redesign the exercise portion of new‑hire training using a job‑specific 12‑week conditioning program.

Exos delivered movement screening, on‑site group training, motor pattern and job‑specific conditioning, plus injury‑prevention education; at program end productivity rose 35%, new‑hire retention increased to 93% versus a 30% benchmark, and injuries during day and night shifts dropped to zero—demonstrating clear, measurable impact on safety, performance and retention.
