Stretching and wellness programs have their place, but on their own, they aren't truly an ergonomics program.

Ergonomics initiatives don't have to be expensive to be successful, but they do require a greater commitment than just popping in a video or reading a book to achieve the desired results of process improvements, decreased injury rates and overall workplace well-being.
