A corporate ergonomics program relies on a broad network of professionals to implement processes across the organization. In many cases, these professionals have a wide array of backgrounds, are developed internally, and are placed in ergonomics roles. With the right development strategy and ergonomics principles in place, the individuals in this network can drive projects that produce successful risk and injury reduction.
