Yes! Ergonomics or the "lack of ergonomics" can hurt your bottom line! You can lose your best and hardest workers to RSI related injuries. They are putting their own health on the line to produce more for the good of the company - Take care of them or risk losing them, forever! Subject: RSI - An over-achiever's problem? The RSI Network online newsletter Issue 26 quotes Jody de Falbre as saying: "The image of RSI sufferers as maligerers couldn't be further from the truth, all the ones I've ever met are overachievers, not slackers!" I work for EASAMS, a major software house in the UK, and know of several staff who suffer from RSI. They are all key people in the organisation and we could not afford to lose any of them. It is about time that employers recognised that it is their very best people who are at greatest risk from RSI - probably because they work harder than anyone else! If you see a similar pattern in your organisation, I would be interested to hear from you. Has any research been carried out along these lines? (I'm new to this group, so sorry if this has been raised before).
