A free work post analysis does increase profits. This short article shows why.
Despite the fact that attention to ergonomics has only improved in recent years, we still encounter many situations on a daily basis where optimization is still possible. Actions that at first glance are not that difficult, or do not occur frequently, but which do involve some major risks.
The statement that an investment in ergonomics pays for itself has already proven to be an understatement. Here we again briefly list all the financial and operational benefits.
Labor market tightness
The population is aging, the labor market is shrinking. If we want to keep pensions affordable, we will have to work longer. A truth made painfully clear when the government announced at the time that the legal retirement age will soon be raised to 67. So if we want to keep doing the work and achieve healthy economic growth we will have to make sure our people are not worn out. Because raising the retirement age makes no sense at all if people still have to retire early because of health reasons. So if we want to continue producing, we will have to optimize.
In addition, this shortage makes it difficult to find, let alone retain, the right people. An important criterion for choosing your company is the extent to which an optimized and well-equipped workplace is guaranteed. As employer branding, this can count.
