Company Statement
At ergoSOUP, we understand that even minor chronic discomfort is an indication of an unhealthy workplace. What begins as an inconvenience, over time, develops into costly health problems that affect a worker's quality of life and a company's bottom-line.
Too many workplaces have zero focus on employee health and wellness. This is evident in how initially employers rely on employee medical insurance to deal with work-related health problems like Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD's) such as Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD's) and Sprains and Strains (SS's). However, as these injuries progress and doctors diagnose the illness as work-related, employers are compelled to absorb the costs through disability and worker's compensation claims. MSD's account for over 50% of occupational illness in America, costing businesses well over $200 billion a year in medical expenses. And this doesn't even include money lost in productivity and other soft cost areas.
With so much at stake, it's a wonder that more businesses aren't investing in their most valuable commodity: their employees. Study after study has indicated that when companies invest in the health of their people, the return on investment is substantial. However, just having a "program-of-the-month" tends to frustrate employees and undermines management's well-intentioned efforts.
To truly optimize the benefits that an ergo/safety program can provide, a strategy that focuses on changing employee and management culture should be employed. This is done by integrating a system that moves employees and management together through the safety continuum along a path toward ergo/safety excellence.
Because work shouldn't have to be a pain.
