Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features Safety National’s announcement of a new complimentary webinar that examines the rapidly growing wearables market, which presents users many new ways to interact with technology, but can seem overwhelming when it comes to organizational adoption.
Safety National notes that while such devices have the potential to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) the key question becomes how companies can determine what option is right for their goals. Topics for discussion will include what types of wearable technology are available in the marketplace; how these devices can benefit all stakeholders; what challenges can arise in practical usage; why employee acceptance is critical; and what research exists to support evidence of potential benefits.
