Using ergonomic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sumnerfurniture.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">office furniture in Northern Virginia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, businesses can prevent many, if not all, of those issues. But not every organization understands how prevalent musculoskeletal disorders are and what they can do for their staff, to address those challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, just exactly where do you stand on that debate?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Counting the Economic and Social Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to one study by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/news\/testimonies\/04272000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. governments&rsquo; OSHA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: &ldquo;The direct costs attributable to MSDs are $15 to $20 billion per year, with total annual costs reaching $45 to $54 billion&rdquo;.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;The study found that, for every $3 spent on workers&rsquo; compensation, $1 was spent due to insufficient or improper ergonomic protection. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/osha.europa.eu\/en\/publications\/msds-facts-and-figures-overview-prevalence-costs-and-demographics-msds-europe\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the EU<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, MSDs caused &euro;17.2 billion in production losses, and lost labor productivity of nearly &euro;30.4 billion in 2016.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any employer in Northern Virginia, MD, doubting that MSDs do cost, might not be facing the reality of its devastation. So, where do you stand on that subject? And what can you do to avoid being one of the businesses that must pay that cost? The answer: Whether it&rsquo;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sumnerfurniture.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">used office furniture in Northern Virginia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or new desks and tables you&rsquo;re looking to install, consider switching to ergonomic furniture instead of traditional designs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ergonomic Employee Support Decisions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&rsquo;s ample research (including in the two reports cited above), of the advantages that ergonomic decisions have on the lives of employees, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Preventing neck and back injuries to staff from becoming full-blown MSDs<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Reducing the number of work hours lost due to MSDs&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Saving employer and tax-payer dollars by proactively preventing development of chronic workplace-related injuries<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Creating positive workplace environments that help, instead of hindering, productivity<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too often, employers won&rsquo;t act to provide ergonomic support to their workforce until it&rsquo;s too late. However, far-sighted business owners have reaped the benefit of acting before MSDs take a huge toll on their businesses. By investing in preventive technologies, such as ergonomically-friendly furniture, industries were able to reduce backaches, back pains and lower limb stress by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/osha.europa.eu\/en\/publications\/msds-facts-and-figures-overview-prevalence-costs-and-demographics-msds-europe\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">over 31%.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opting for leading-edge ergonomic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sumnerfurniture.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">office furniture in Northern Virginia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, isn&rsquo;t just the most proactive measure businesses can take, to compact MSDs, but it&rsquo;s also one of the more cost-effective solutions to implement.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All organizations depend on their employees remaining healthy and fit, in order to provide the organization a competitive advantage over their peers. Not only are musculoskeletal-friendly furnishing options great to look at, but they deliver longer-term return on investment (ROI) in excess of any short-term measures (therapy, leave of absence) that businesses often implement as a knee-jerk reaction to employee work-posture related health issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Care For Your Brand<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you&rsquo;re in search of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sumnerfurniture.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">used office furniture in Northern Virginia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or looking to furnish an office or work location with a brand-new line of desks, think ergonomic! Just switching from traditional desks to sit-to-stand models, not only saves businesses money, but it also improves employee morale and boosts productivity. At the end of the day, extending ergonomic support for your employees doesn&rsquo;t just benefit your staff, but also has a positive impression on your brand.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">Tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/tag\/373164\/\" rel=\"tag\">\u00a0<\/a> <\/p>\n<div><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/content-marketing\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Content Marketing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/menafn\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Menafn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/ips\/\" rel=\"category tag\">IPS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/reportedtimes\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Reportedtimes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/financial-content\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Financial Content<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/pr-wirein\/\" rel=\"category tag\">PR-Wirein<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/extended-distribution\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Extended Distribution<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/icn-internal-distribution\/\" rel=\"category tag\">iCN Internal Distribution<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/heymuse.com\/ergonomic-furniture-solutions-just-where-do-you-stand-with-them\/\">Ergonomic Furniture solutions: Just where do you stand with them?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/heymuse.com\">Financial Market Brief<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad work posture, poor desk place routines, uncomfortable or slouching chairs, and irregular breaks between long working spells, these are causes for serious work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
