Ergonomics conference examines state of the art
Ergonomics has taken on increasing importance in the workplace health continuum, as evidenced by the 600 attendees at The National Ergonomics Conference and Exposition held in Dallas Dec. 2-4. And judging by our conversations with several attendees, it has also become far more sophisticated.
In our first article in the package, the head of an ergonomics consulting firm gives workers’ comp savings short shrift and recommends a more global approach optimizing employee performance as a strategy sure to improve your company’s bottom line.
