ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its mission to disrupt the culture of sitting, Ergotron, Inc. a Nortek company and global leader of the sit-stand workplace revolution, will host a webinar to explain the health and financial implications of prolonged sitting at work, as well as the research-based impacts of adopting sit-stand workstations.
What: |
"Building a Business Case for Sit-Stand at Work" will be a 30-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute Q&A webinar, hosted by Ergotron Inc., highlighting the implications of a sedentary workplace. This webinar will address why sitting is being described as the new smoking, the research that has been done using sit-stand interventions, and how you can build a business case for investing in sit-stand solutions. |
Why: |
Poor employee health is increasing healthcare costs and affecting performance in the workplace. Stress related illnesses alone result in an estimated $200-300 billion a year in lost productivity. One of the unintended consequences of using computers is prolonged inactivity, identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality and a contributor to increased stress. Armed with the latest research, employers can address this growing risk factor and use evidence-based programs to improve the health and productivity of their own populations. |
Who: |
The webinar will be hosted by Betsey Banker, CWWS, CWWPM, Vertical Market Manager, Wellness and Carrie Schmitz, Certified Health Coach (CHC), AOEAS Senior Manager, Human Factors and Ergonomics Research at Ergotron. Anyone in the field of employee wellness will benefit from joining this complimentary webinar. |
