Sustaining an ergonomic and injury prevention program beyond the first year is one of the most common—and costly—challenges faced by injury prevention specialists, ergonomic specialists, safety leaders, and operations leaders. Initial momentum often fades, and without strategic integration into workplace culture, even well-designed programs can stall. This webinar explores how organizations can embed ergonomics into their operational DNA to drive lasting results. You’ll learn why programs lose traction after year one, how to transition from a compliance-based model to a culture-driven approach, and which leading indicators truly measure program sustainability. Through evidence-based insights, real-world case studies, and actionable frameworks, attendees will gain the tools to reenergize their programs, foster employee ownership, and secure long-term leadership support. Whether you’re launching a new initiative or looking to revitalize an existing one, this session will equip you with strategies to ensure your ergonomic efforts deliver measurable impact—not just in year one but for years to come.
