Reduced Productivity

Workers who must perform tasks that are outside of their power zone, or who must repeatedly bend or stoop to complete tasks, are not working at their maximum productivity. Workplace changes based on ergonomic principles may lead to increased productivity by eliminating unneeded motions, reducing fatigue, lowering absenteeism, and increasing worker efficiency. Healthier workers and higher productivity can result in a positive impact on a company's bottom line.
