Description

Advance your impact with Part 2 of the Industrial Athlete Symposium, focused on building data-driven, sustainable injury-prevention and ergonomic programs. This session series guides attendees through identifying meaningful data sources, applying validated assessment tools, and translating outcomes into KPIs that clearly communicate value to leadership. Participants will also explore how to maintain program momentum beyond year one by shifting from compliance-based initiatives to a culture-driven approach that embeds ergonomics into daily operations. Supported by evidence-based insights and real-world case examples, Part 2 empowers athletic trainers, physical therapists, and occupational therapists with the strategies needed to create long-term, high-impact programs that deliver measurable results.
