Increasing Productivity

Learning to Do More with Less

The 2007 Workplace Safety Index placed the estimated direct U.S. workers compensation costs for the most disabling workplace injuries at $48.3 billion.

Read that number again –

$48.3 BILLION!

Three of the top 10 causes of serious work-related injuries, which make up over 40% of workers compensation costs, are:

1. Overexertion
- injuries caused from excessive lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, or throwing
2. Bodily Reaction
- injuries caused by slipping or tripping without falling
3. Repetitive Motion
- injuries due to repeated stress or strain

The good news is that the human brain has the ability to rewire itself - under the proper conditions - to create more effective solutions which allow you to avoid the above conditions altogether.

This ability is called neuroplasticity.

When applied to movement, rewiring the brain with more efficient movement patterns allows us to be more productive. Productivity increases because we learn to move with less effort.

And accomplishing the same tasks with less effort leaves more fuel in our “tanks” to accomplish more.

It’s a deceptively simple approach. But once you grasp what it feels like to move with the least amount of effort – your productivity will skyrocket!

LET ME ASK YOU THIS…
