Tapping the creativity and innovation of your workforce!

• Do you want productivity improvements?
• Does your internal communications need a kick-start?
• How is employee morale, does it need a boost in your facility?
• Is preventing injuries and controlling WCB costs a concern?

If you answered yes to any of the above statements, Participatory Ergonomics is something you would be interested in.

Unlocking the creativity and innovation of your employees can deliver numerous benefits to your organization and at a cost far less than traditional methods. By using a structured, effective and user-centered approach you can uncover the hidden potential in your workforce.

The implementation and acceptance of the ideas generated by this type of intervention will far surpass any previous work done by outside consultants. Your people have the power, know-how and passion to change their work environments for the better.

Join HRANS and guest speaker Darren MacDonald as we discuss how to tap into the creativity of your workplace. Darren will discuss how to improve productivity, increase internal communications, boost employee moral and prevent injuries.
