If you could reduce absenteeism by over 20% with one simple investment, would you be intrigued? There are many benefits of anti-fatigue matting in manufacturing, including absenteeism reduction and injury rate. That is exactly what one company achieved through a 2-year Wearwell anti-fatigue mat case study!
Before:
Before Wearwell, problems with absenteeism, injury rates, and productivity were out of control. At an average yearly rate of 5.2%, administrative and productivity costs rose, and money was rapidly being lost. Wearwell knew the benefits of their ergonomic matting and set out to prove it with hard ROI facts. A one-year measurement on concrete to set a benchmark revealed:
Initial Rates:
| Absenteeism Ratio | 5.2% |
| Injury Ratio | 3 per month |
| Productivity | Measured to determine baseline |
To solve these problems, Wearwell implemented a matting program. After studying the facility and looking at fatigue and exertion challenges, we took measurements to equip all standing workstations with recommended anti-fatigue matting for factory use. The results were stunning!
After:
Absenteeism dropped to 4% after the implementation of a Wearwell program. That is a 23% absenteeism reduction! Combined with the 70% decrease in injury rates, the investment in mats clearly paid off through the anti-fatigue mats’ benefits. In a questionnaire given before mat installation, 31% of workers ranked their level of fatigue 4 out of 5 and the other 69% as a very tired 5. After mat installation, 19% of workers ranked their fatigue at level 3, 45% as level 2, and 39% as level 1 signifying very minimal pain. Give your workers back their energy by investing in mats!
Take it from the most trusted brand in the industry: quality matters so buying Wearwell anti-fatigue mats is one of the single best investments you can make in your workforce. We have always kept laser focus on the industrial athlete because we consider it our responsibility to send them home in the same working condition as when they walked in for their shift.
