When told to take frequent breaks throughout the work day, many workers fear that this will impact nega tively on their work, or that it will impact on their manager's (or co-workers') perception of their effort. Ad ditionally if breaks are regimented, this may result in added stress due to frequent work interruption. In order to describe a successful ergonomic intervention, it is important to determine that the intervention will actually benefit the employer as well as the employee (McLean and Rickards, 1998). In order to gain support by the workers, microbreaks must increase the level of comfort experienced during work tasks, or must assist with pro ductivity when incentives or quotas are in place. In order to gain support by management, the concept of micro breaks must show no detrimental effect on worker productivity, while preferably causing an increase in long-term productivity or a reduction in costs related to worker turnover or absenteeism.
