    10.10am Back Pain in Office Workers: The Unbelievable Cost to Your Business
    At least 14% of your workforce is already experiencing musculoskeletal pain, and that pain is quietly eroding productivity. We will share findings from the largest research study we have ever conducted, revealing how work location directly impacts back pain and why many organizations are unprepared for the wave of pain ahead. Using data from Cardinus’ latest research paper, we will explain how home and hybrid work are increasing back pain and creating a significant, often overlooked cost for businesses. He will also outline practical, evidence-based actions organizations can take now to reduce risk, protect their people, and safeguard productivity.
    10.50am What Makes High-Impact Industrial and Office Ergonomics Programs
    Most organizations have some form of ergonomics support in place. Few have a program that is structured, measurable and aligned to real business outcomes. In this practical, strategy-focused session, we will outline the core elements that separate reactive ergonomics from programs that reduce risk, control cost and protect productivity. We will define what a strong industrial ergonomics approach looks like, including how to identify and prioritize high-risk tasks and implement scalable processes to reduce injury exposure across sites and roles. We will also cover what makes an effective office and hybrid ergonomics strategy, including early symptom identification, employee engagement and education, and how to build a model that supports compliance and performance. You will leave with a clear framework to evaluate your current program, identify gaps and implement practical improvements, whether building from scratch or strengthening an existing program.
    11.30am Predict Injuries Before Pain Starts
    Hear how AI-powered video analysis and data analysis are changing this model, enabling organizations to quantify risk early, identify patterns across roles and sites to intervene before injuries occur. We will explain how AI-driven insights transform everyday movement into measurable, defensible data, supporting faster ergonomic decisions and smarter resource allocation. These insights also enable stronger collaboration across EHS, HR and Insurance Partners to build a proactive, data-led safety culture that strengthens Total Worker Health and protects long-term performance.
