Insegni is now working in partnership with Postureminder!
Insegni is now proud to be working in partnership with PostureMinder. This exciting news enables Insegni to provide our clients with the award winning health protection software.
If your staff use computers as part of their day-to-day work, chances are you've had some absences caused by back, neck and shoulder pain, RSI or headaches. But did you know that according Health & Safety Executive statistics, up to 73% of workers suffer computer-related pains each year, most of them in silence?
The resulting poor productivity, absences and associated hidden costs could add up to as much as £1080 per employee per year. That's before you even consider the threat of compensation claims - in 2007 an RAF typist won £480,000 compensation for developing RSI at work.
Since 2002 average computer use outside work has increased 400% in the UK. At work, we spend more time than ever hunched over our keyboards. Absences and career-ending musculoskeletal problems are on the increase as a result.
The solution is simple - get your staff to sit properly and adopt healthy working habits.
Easy, right? You'll only need to tell people once and they'll change their working habits forever!
Unfortunately, that's not how these things work - bad habits developed over many years are difficult to change.
That's where health protection software comes in. It does what training, education posters, or even expensive ergonomic furniture can't - it promotes and reinforces good posture and healthy working habits all day, every day.
By reminding users to think about their posture, regularly switch tasks or take a short break from the computer, stay hydrated throughout the day and guard against muscle and eye fatigue, such software helps keep your staff healthy, fresh and and at the top of their game.
PostureMinder is the world's leading health protection software, and the only one to provide targeted posture reminders. Used with a low-cost webcam, it can actually check how the user is sitting so that it only reminds them about their posture when they sit badly for an extended period.
The software can also be used without a webcam, in which case it can remind the user to think about their posture at regular intervals. PostureMinder also provides a comprehensive set of other flexible tools to promote healthy working and reduce ill-health costs.
Health protection software can be used to help existing pain sufferers recover faster as a key part of a rehabilitation programme, or as a cost-effective preventative tool to help all computer users work more effectively and protect their health.
