Did you know that supplying your employees with ergonomical headsets to answer the phone can actually boost productivity and save you money at the same time!
Studies have found that In 2000, 1.8 million workers in the United States reported work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and back injuries. MSDs accounted for 34% of all lost workday injuries and illnesses (nearly 600,000 cases annually), and $1 of every $3 spent for workers' compensation was for MSD related injuries (nearly $20 billion annually).
Also the costs associated with injuries are significant (workers' compensation insurance carrier for Carpal Tunnel injuries in particular and neck pain associated with Phone use). With the majority of the work force in administrative and customer service positions, ergonomic factors are an important concern.
One customer I know declined the request from an employee for a headset for use with telephone sales. About a year later the employee ended up on sick leave and eventually had to switch job functions as the individual could not handle the neck pain associated with long hours on the phone. Eventually this person ended up with neck issues similar to whiplash and needed an operation on her neck. Adding more sick time and loss of work!
