When it comes to employee well-being, strategic procurement decisions aren’t just about comfort — they’re about productivity, morale, and long-term cost savings.
Here are four statistics that show why switching to SMART STEP ergonomic floor mats is a smart business move for pharmacies:
1. Ergonomics Can Boost Productivity by 25%
According to the CDC, ergonomic improvements can lead to a 25% increase in productivity. Pharmacy staff spend long shifts on their feet — and fatigue reduces focus. SMART STEP’s anti-fatigue design keeps your team more energized, alert, and efficient throughout the day.
2. MSDs Cost Employers $20B+ Every Year
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for nearly 30% of workplace injuries, per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. These injuries lead to lost time, compensation claims, and reduced performance. Our mats are designed to reduce pressure on feet, knees, and backs, actively lowering your risk exposure.
3. Better Ergonomics = Higher Retention
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) confirms that ergonomic environments lead to higher job satisfaction and employee retention. In a tight labor market, investing in your team’s comfort helps reduce turnover and training costs.
4. Long-Term ROI from Durable, American-Made Quality
SMART STEP commercial mats are Made in the USA, built for high-traffic use, and backed by a 10-year warranty. That means fewer replacements, fewer headaches, and a lower total cost of ownership over time.
