For organisations

Workplace prevention,
delivered by a clinician.

A keynote, a workshop, or a six-week programme on chronic disease, cognitive performance, and the structural causes of workforce illness — built on forty-three years of clinical practice and the evidence of the Deloitte 5.60 ROI figure.

Independent of supplement, lab, and pharmaceutical industries. Compatible with your firm's WHS compliance frame.

The evidence

Five dollars and sixty cents back, for every dollar spent on prevention.

Source: Deloitte Australia, At a tipping point: Workplace mental health and wellbeing, 2017. Figure replicated by KPMG (2018), PwC (2019), and the Productivity Commission (2020) within ±0.4 of the original ratio.

The structural symmetry: prevention returns to the firm; prevention costs the healthcare industry. Two paired figures. To the firm: $5.60 returned per dollar spent on workplace prevention. To the healthcare industry: $5.60 of revenue forgone per dollar spent on prevention. The same dollar is read in two directions. TO THE FIRM +$5.60 returned per dollar spent on prevention. Reduced absenteeism. Reduced presenteeism. Reduced turnover. Reduced disability claims. Recoverable cognitive performance at the senior level. Cited: Deloitte 2017, KPMG 2018, PwC 2019, Productivity Commission 2020. TO THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY −$5.60 of revenue forgone per dollar prevention spend. Fewer prescriptions written. Fewer procedures ordered. Fewer chronic-disease patients in the funnel. A structural disincentive baked into the business model. Source: Dr Ron Ehrlich, clinical observation across 43 years. The same dollar, read in two directions. The firm's gain is the industry's foregone revenue — which is why the industry has no incentive to deliver prevention at scale.
Figures from Deloitte Australia, At a tipping point: Workplace mental health and wellbeing, 2017, and Dr Ron Ehrlich's clinical observation. The structural argument: prevention is a cost-recovery for the firm; an opportunity cost for the healthcare industry.
"For every $1 spent there is a $5.60 return. That is not true of the healthcare industry. For every dollar spent on prevention there is a $5.60 loss for the industry. So it's not in their self-interest to give you the tools to help yourself." Dr Ron Ehrlich, on the structural disincentive baked into for-profit medicine.

Engagement tiers

Three shapes, named, priced, sequenced.

No retainer model. No platform subscription. Each engagement is bespoke to the firm and delivered by Ron personally. The tiers below are the architecture; the proposal is shaped to the firm's WHS frame, industry, and headcount.

01 — Keynote

$5,000 – $15,000.

60–90 minutes, bespoke to the firm's industry and risk profile. The structural argument for chronic-disease prevention as a workforce-strategy lever, delivered to the executive team, the partner group, or the leadership offsite. With Q&A.

Half-day or full-day, with pre-engagement firm assessment and post-engagement written brief.

Delivered to a 30–60-person room.

03 — Six-Week Programme

$35,000 – $60,000.

Case proof-point

Hilton APAC, 2018.

An eighteen-month executive-team programme delivered across the Hilton APAC region. Stress and recovery, sleep and cognitive performance, chronic-disease prevention as a leadership-grade workforce strategy. Delivered to general managers, regional presidents, and executive teams in twelve markets.

What the engagement covered

Stress and recovery as a clinical (not aspirational) framework. Cognitive performance under prolonged psychosocial load. The metabolic-cardiovascular evidence base senior teams in hospitality leadership encounter at 45+. Sleep architecture in twelve-time-zone operating environments.

What the engagement did not cover

A platform subscription. A supplement programme. An app deployment. Any vendor-locked deliverable extending past the programme term.

Reference available on inquiry. Subject to Hilton APAC consent. Other engagements have included executive teams across professional services, healthcare leadership, and government.

The regulatory frame

Compatible with the Code of Practice your WHS counsel is already reading.

The Australian Code of Practice — Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work (Safe Work Australia, 2022; binding from April 2023 in adopting jurisdictions) requires firms to identify psychosocial hazards and demonstrate proportionate intervention. Boards are asking compliance counsel to surface evidence-based programmes before FY27 renewal.

Ron's engagements are designed as documentary interventions: each programme produces materials a firm can name in its WHS register — the workshop brief, the cohort completion metrics, the post-engagement report — without manufacturing the documentation after the fact.

Ron is a clinician advising on workplace psychosocial-hazard prevention. He is not a WHS lawyer. The programmes are designed to be compatible with WHS frameworks, not as a substitute for compliance counsel.

In the interests of clarity

What this engagement is not.

Not a wellness-app deployment. There is no platform subscription, no app to roll out across the workforce, no usage dashboard to present to the board. The deliverable is a programme, not a tool.

Not a supplement programme. There is no protocol, no product range, no vendor relationship that extends beyond the engagement.

Not a coach panel. The programmes are designed and delivered by Ron personally. The content is not licensed to a panel of delivery practitioners.

Not a substitute for the firm's WHS counsel, occupational physician, or employee-assistance programme. Designed to be compatible with these, not to replace them.

— A clinical-grade workforce engagement. Not a wellness vendor.
