In achieving a successful RSI prevention program in an organization WorkPace should be seen as just one part of the solution (although a very cost-effective part). To maximize the effectiveness of WorkPace it is very important that employees be properly educated and trained in -

• RSI - its causes, effects, and how to prevent it
  
  
• Office ergonomics
  
  
• Correct mouse and keyboard techniques
  
  
• How to take micropauses, WorkPace breaks, and do exercises correctly
  
  

and before using WorkPace

• An introduction to WorkPace - what the software does and why, how to use the software and adjust settings, and how to work with the software and not against it.
  
  

Obviously, other issues are also important such as -

• Ergonomic assessment of the work area
  
  
• Addressing management, workload, and stress issues
  
  

A fairly comprehensive treatment of many of these topics is contained in the WorkPace manual and online help. However, a manual is often not the most effective way of presenting such information, direct training often being best. Niche software and many WorkPace Resellers are experienced at providing such training, or can at least providing training materials and advice on the subject. The final aim is to achieve a comprehensive multi-faceted approach to the subject.
