The author advises line managers in British companies to work closely with both employees and senior management in order to come up with mutually beneficial workplace solutions aimed at accommodating the needs of staff coping with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). She observes that MSDs were the largest single cause of sickness absences in Great Britain in 2013, thus providing reasonable workplace adjustments to support employees with MSDs could help firms increase their productivity.
