Why ergonomics reporting fails and how to prevent it

Define your reporting goals before you touch the template

1) Executive summary (plain language)

A short pre-send checklist keeps the report honest

A practical next step

If you want the cleanest starting point, do three things this week: lock the five section headings, decide on your monthly and quarterly cadence, and assign one owner for compilation plus one owner for follow-up review. Then run one cycle with the template before you expand it. The available evidence from day-to-day operations is usually enough to show whether the report is becoming clearer, easier to compare, and more useful for managers and HR. That is the standard worth aiming for.

The useful takeaway is simple: reporting works when it has a purpose, an owner, and a cadence. The template is just the tool that keeps those decisions visible.
