How Does Wellnomics^® Risk Management Work?

The Wellnomics^® Risk Management software works by collecting and measuring data on computer use, work habits, individual and work stressors - all of which are known contributors to office injuries or discomfort.

Assessments are performed in three easy steps to determine where is the greatest risk of problems and what is the most appropriate and effective remedial actions to take.

1. Data Collection
2. Analysis
3. Reporting and Action

By recording statistics on computer use for each employee, Wellnomics is able to build a profile of their workload and work patterns. Each employee then answers a web-based questionnaire covering one or more areas, such as posture and workstation setup, symptoms, and work environment.

 

The data collected is analysed using a set of calculations that calculate risk levels for each employee and provide a list of recommendations. These calculations are designed by experts¹ in the field of ergonomics and are based upon an extensive analysis² of the scientific literature on musculoskeletal disorders. The algorithms are also tested and scientifically validated².

Once all the data has been collected Wellnomics is able to provide a variety of reports and actions. Options range from confidential individual reports to organisation wide summaries.

Choose from a preset list of reports that:

• identifies high risk users
• evaluates risk levels in selected departments
• shows the top risk factors in your office environment
• lists the top recommendations for resolving the risks found

You can view reports across the organisation, or focus in on individual risk information for each employee.
