Manufacturers Fail to Communicate Value of Ergonomics to Shop Floor Workers

April 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Manufacturers’ Pain Points, a weekly e-newsletter, sponsored by PDP (People Driven Performance) Solutions shares methods, modes, and tools used to inform manufacturers’ of the pain points that they face on the manufacturing floor, or with their employees, or just best business practices.

David Kahl, the founder of Ergo Depot, profiled in the weekly e-newsletter that many manufacturing employers are investing in their employees by offering incentives that will improve their health, while increasing productivity. This is a new concept in ergonomics that is based on the movement of children. Children are constantly moving and finding new postures and studies have shown that children actually learn more, are more productive, when they are allowed to move freely. Movement and variation of the body are vital while working, but it is all too easy to forget to move, particularly when deep in concentration. Manufacturers must avoid repetitive or limited movement for shop floor workers and encourage alternate movement throughout the workday.

Manufacturers investing in their employees’ well-being are not communicating the effort effectively. To learn more about manufacturing leaders’ communication issues: http://pdpsolutions.com/content/manufacturing-executives-1-fear-communication-plant-floor-workers
