Find It - Fix It Challenge

The 2013 Find It - Fix It Challenge Starts This Month! 

 

The 7th Annual Humantech Find It – Fix It Challenge is intended to recognize and reward the implementation of creative, sustainable, and high-impact solutions that address ergonomic issues in the workplace. This contest is open to all Humantech clients, past  or present, and runs from June 24th, 2013 to September 13th, 2013.

This contest was derived from Humantech RAPID® Team Events, which are based on the concept of making quick, simple, visible changes to improve ergonomic issues in the workplace. Using the vast number of improvements typically identified and implemented during these types of events, several companies have successfully raised ergonomic awareness within their facilities.
