Preventing sick leave in your company

If your department is under pressure, e.g. as a result of too many assignments or too few resources, it can be hard to see how to improve performance. One thing that can increase performance is using the correct tools at work, as using the incorrect tools will contribute to draining the employee’s energy – energy that should be expended on tackling assignments and not on handling work tools such as a computer mouse. It may seem strange that the small movements we make when using a mouse can often have a significant impact on how the work assignment is completed, but unfortunately it is true. In a Nordic survey conducted by Coxit, as many as 65 per cent reported that, in their experience, ergonomic equipment had helped them to work more efficiently – a figure supported by similar surveys in other European countries.
