How We've Helped Our Clients

How We've Helped Our Clients

Our unique and comprehensive audit process has given our clients the information they need to develop a comprehensive and successful ergonomics process resulting in:

  • Increased employee participation
  • Increased awareness in safe work practices
  • Reduced filing of WC claims through claim avoidance
  • Reduced WC and long term disability costs
  • Reduced litigation (WC and ADA)
  • Reduced lost time days and cases
  • Minimized non-occupational medical absence and FMLA time

Our ergonomics process audit of a major health care provider’s ergonomics process helped them identify missing links in their program, solidify their ergonomics purchase process and develop a preventive approach to injury management rather than waiting and reacting to employee claim filing. Over a 5 year period, WI designed and managed the County of Monterey’s ergonomics process reducing 95% of symptomatic employee reports from becoming workers’ compensation claims. This resulted in an estimated savings of over $15 million in claim avoidance.

Backed by Research

Backed by Research

Based on the theory of macro ergonomics to address the sociotechnical aspects of work, our WIEP is backed by research emphasizing continuous improvement, quality process design, lean and participatory ergonomics, along with a focus on self-care and self-responsibility.

By encouraging employee participation and engagement from the beginning, employers can respond in a timely manner before claims develop. Requests are triaged to determine the best ergonomic analysis needed to address employee concerns. The evaluation engages the employee in the process giving them strategies and tactics to manage their concerns proactively. The evaluation provides the objective data necessary for the employer to determine appropriate engineering changes, administrative actions and products necessary for resolution.

Whether the employee simply wants to be sure they are set up correctly, are experiencing mild discomfort or the employee has a non-occupational medical condition, workers’ comp claim or even a physical impairment, the WIEP helps you to address employee concerns proactively and effectively saving you millions of dollars over time.
