Data Supports Likely Ongoing Success
73% of the employees who were high risk at first assessment reduced their risk.

Learnings:
3 Critical Success Factors (CSF)
CSFs
#1 Obtain and Use Data:
The Foundation
• To define problem
• To allocate resources
• To measure progress
• To obtain management buy-in (CSF)
• To enable personalized follow up (CSF)
#3 Personal Feedback to Employees
• To empower change
#2 Management Buy-In
• From risk mgmt for budget/support
• From VPs for “sponsorship”
• From H&S leaders for
implementation support
• From supervisors/mgrs
Office Ergonomics Objectives:
2005 & Beyond
Outcome Metrics

Insight from Data Provides
Priorities for Tomorrow
Data enables useful reports that help us understand where risks are
and how to better allocate resources.

In Summary:
• Clorox R&D had an ergonomic problem.
• We used data to obtain management support for a
proactive program.
• We’ve implemented a program that blends in-person
and technological approaches.
• Technology is providing needed insight and enabling
us to scale our approach.
• We now have a model that we can extend to the
broader Clorox enterprise.
