Healthy Workplace Month |
|
|
October 2008 Greetings!
October is Healthy Workplace Month, designed to introduce workplace health to organizations and to support those already on the journey. It is important that we continue to encourage each other in our quest to include healthy choices in our daily lives. Posture Perfect Solutions Ltd. is pleased to be part of the solution as we provide an excellent ergonomic choice for healthy sitting.
Spread the word and get your organization involved. Did you know?  Over 20 million North Americans spend half of their waking hours at work.- Absenteeism costs businesses and industries 225 times as much as labor disputes and strikes annually.
- Backaches account for 91 million days of lost work per year.
- Stressed employees have higher rates of absenteeism, accidents, illnesses, and productivity errors.
- The workforce is aging and experiencing more health-related issues.
How are you accepting responsibility for your health at the workplace?
- Are you taking advantage of all the programs available to you at work?
- Are you taking a lunchtime walk or even opting for the stairs rather than the elevator?
- Do you take breaks to
laugh or connect with colleagues on non-work issues?
- Do you regroup
every few hours with a short meditation of mindful breathing?

Workplace Review |
|
"Having practiced clinical dental hygiene for the past thirteen years I have seen numerous cases of colleagues who have suffered back injuries due to poor posture. Many dental hygienists spend much of their day sitting on operator stools without effective support for their backs. I have used the Evolution Chair while treating my clients and found it to be comfortable and effective in maintaining my posture. I also use it at home when working at my desk and find it to be so comfortable that I forget I am sitting on a ball! Based on my own personal use and research, the Evolution Chair has proven to be an effective strategy for maintaining my posture and overall musculoskeletal health. I most certainly recommend this chair as a preventive measure against back injuries."
- Pearline Rae, R.D.H, Lecturer
