Video Transcript: How to Launch (Or Relaunch) a Sustainable Ergonomics Process
Implementing an ergonomics process is difficult. Writing the ergonomics policy, choosing the right set of assessment tools, putting together an ergonomics team, conducting ergonomics training, selecting which metrics to track, and knowing how to manage all the data is time-consuming and fraught with challenges. The result is often an ergonomics process that is missing some or all of these critical elements of successful ergonomics processes. When you’re missing these critical pieces of infrastructure, your process is at risk of fizzling out over time.
We’ve seen this over and over again in our consulting practice, and so we came up with a solution we call an ErgoLaunch. The ErgoLaunch solution delivers all the infrastructure you need to implement a sustainable ergonomics process for a fraction of the time and resources it would take to do it on your own. When you engage ErgoPlus for an ErgoLaunch, you’re able to take advantage of decades of consulting experience and a next-generation software platform that dramatically accelerates ergonomics success.
The ErgoLaunch solution ensures you have the right strategy, the right knowledge, the right skills, and the right operating system in place to have a successful, sustainable ergonomics process.
Here is how it works:
It all starts with a consulting engagement where we work with you to review the current state of your ergonomics process against the desired state.
Based on this Gap Analysis, we’ll work with you to develop a custom-tailored ergonomics policy that includes your vision and mission, goals and metrics, standards and guidance documents, and team roles and responsibilities.
After that, your team goes through the online training modules available inside ErgoPlus Industrial, our cloud-based software platform. The online training and comprehension checks ensure your team has the foundational ergonomics knowledge in place for the next step, which is the two-day launch event.
During the two-day launch event, you and your team will work side-by-side with an ErgoPlus Injury Prevention Specialist for practical, hands-on application and skills training. This helps your team gain the confidence and skillset required to carry out the ergonomics process moving forward. You and your team will gain the skills you need to assess your jobs for risk, prioritize improvement opportunities, plan improvement projects, verify risk reduction once improvements are made, and track the key metrics of your ergonomics process.
All of these activities are managed inside ErgoPlus Industrial, our cloud-based ergonomics management software. The software functions as your team’s Ergonomics Operating System, which make ergonomics management easy and intuitive. The system will guide your team through the entire process of making workplace improvements which will make the process much easier for your team to manage which will make your process more sustainable over the long term as ergonomics team members come and go.
As you can see, when you partner with us for an ErgoLaunch, you get the right strategy, the right knowledge, the right skills and the right operating system you need to be successful.
The real deliverable of an ErgoLaunch is the confidence you’ll have knowing that you have all the infrastructure you need to implement a sustainable ergonomics process that is backed by experts and built on smart technology, all for a fraction of the time and resources it would take to put it all together on your own.
