RSI and Productivity
Did you know:
- RSI (repetitive stress injuries) cost American
businesses more than $20 BILLION each year.
- The average workers compensation claim is
$8,000 more than double the average claim. The median length an
employee is out of work due to RSI is 30 days.
(See a
chart of Time out of Work)
- "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure".
By using Stress Away Software, you can help reduce RSI. Frequent
mini-breaks (30 seconds) can actually increase productivity by
lowering discomfort, pain or fatigue.
According to OSHA's
Web Site
RSIs are one of the fastest growing workplace injuries, costing
employers more than $20 billion for 2.73 million workers' compensation
claims in 1993. Indirect costs may run as high as $100 billion.
Workers who experience RSIs may be unable to perform their jobs
or even simple household tasks.
