The 3rd 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 will run from May 15, 2009 to September 15, 2009.
This contest was derived from Humantech RAPIDTM 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 ergonomics awareness within their facilities.
