Elevating Well-Being in the Future of Work
Date and Time: Monday, June 1 from 2:00PM-3:00PM
Speaker: Rick Barker, CSP, CPE, Head of Product, Ergonomics, Industrial Hygiene & Chemical Management
Session Description: This presentation explores the intersection of Total Worker Health® (TWH) and psychosocial safety-two complementary approaches to advancing worker well-being. Drawing on NIOSH guidance, ISO 45003, and real-world case studies, it highlights how psychosocial risks such as high job demands, low autonomy, poor social support, and fatigue affect both physical and mental health outcomes, including musculoskeletal disorders. Participants will gain practical strategies for embedding psychosocial safety into safety management systems, strengthening leadership commitment, and enhancing worker engagement. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to build healthier, more resilient workplaces.

Speaker: Blake McGowan, CPE, Head of Product Marketing, Ergonomics
Session Description: This session quantifies the financial impact of ergonomics-related injuries such as musculoskeletal disorders [MSDs) within the workplace. It links these injuries to specific line items across an organization’s financial statements, including, income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statements, revealing detrimental effects on cost of goods sold, operating margins, productivity, and equity. It will demonstrate how proactive ergonomics programs significantly reduce injuries and associated costs while improving productivity and financial performance. Recommendations are provided to help IH professionals communicate these insights effectively to business stakeholders and financial shareholders.
