Ergonomic Kaizen Events

Engaging the workplace with Kaizen Events

Kaizen is derived from a Japanese business philosophy and roughly translates to “good change” or “continuous improvement”. Related events delivered by the Zurich Resilience Solutions (ZRS) team focus on helping create a culture of continuous improvement through small, actionable steps.

Ergonomics matter for employees because musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the leading cause of non-fatal workplace injuries, making up nearly 34% of all workers’ compensation costs in the U.S.¹. These injuries result in significant healthcare expenses, lost productivity and absenteeism.

ZRS Kaizen Events address workplace ergonomic challenges through 3-day workshops. These sessions bring together cross-functional teams to identify risks, streamline processes and implement improvements. With a focus on ergonomics and safety, these events foster collaboration and innovation, leading to significant gains in workplace efficiency and safety.

Our team of experienced Risk Engineers know that addressing ergonomic risks is more than a compliance issue—it’s a business imperative. ZRS Kaizen Events deliver fast, impactful changes that improve safety, efficiency and employee wellbeing. Kaizen Events provide a structured approach for identifying and implementing safety and ergonomic improvements that foster

• Team Collaboration: We facilitate Kaizen Events that unite cross-functional teams to address inefficiencies and risks, focusing on practical ergonomic solutions.
• Targeted Problem Solving: These events generate rapid improvements in processes and safety, focusing on sustainable, real-world solutions.
• Continuous Improvement Culture: Kaizen Events cultivate a mindset of continuous improvement, driving ongoing safety and ergonomic enhancements.

At the end of our Kaizen Events, organizations should expect to see reductions in MSD risk factors, improved efficiency, increased productivity and a more sustainable workplace.
