Even though many employers are focusing on their ergonomics programs to address substantial losses resulting from MSDs in the workplace, ergonomics professionals still often fail to get their ergonomics initiatives approved at their organization. Mr. Hoonhorst will explain that, to avoid this fate, occupational and EHS professionals need to sell ergonomics. They need to arm themselves with the right language to show the impacts that ergonomics has on overall business performance, employee engagement and product quality.
