WARNING FROM MICROSOFT!
Microsoft has warned that increasing number of homeworkers are suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury. A spokeswoman said that milllions could be lost from the economy as a result of staff being struck down with RSI 'It costs more than £300M a year and HR departments need to be educated that easy prevention can be done'
This is exactly the message that we at FixMe are trying to put to employers and employees alike.
