Work Pacing Software

As PC usage increases, many people are developing pain and numbness that is associated with Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD).  These injuries affect people of all ages at work, at school and at home.  The staggering cost of these injuries has focused worldwide attention on ways to promote good computing habits thus reducing the risks of developing MSD. 

According to a study from Cornell University, “Workers who used computer software to remind them occasionally to assume good posture, take short breaks and stretch do more accurate work and as a result are more productive”.  Scientific research over the past ten years has proven that taking short breaks throughout the day can substantially reduce the risk of developing MSD.

Through the use of ergonomic work pacing software, businesses have recognized significant cost savings related to the reduction of the incidents of MSD while increasing employee keyboard/mouse productivity with a decrease in employee fatigue.  These benefits can be readily measured with the implementation of ErgoEnterprise – the anti-injury software.  There are two business applications available, ErgoEnterprise Single User and ErgoEnterprise Network.
