Employees who work overtime hours experience numerous mental, physical, and social effects. In a landmark study, the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization estimated that over 745,000 people died from ischemic heart disease or stroke in 2016 as a result of having worked 55 hours or more per... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Employee performance levels could also be lowered. Long work hours could lead to tiredness, fatigue, and lack of attentiveness. As a result, suggestions have been proposed for risk mitigation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
The health and safety effects of overtime work vary widely and much remains unknown. Some studies have reported numerous adverse health effects, including increased alcohol and tobacco usage, decreased birthweight in offspring, and decreased cognitive functioning found both subjectively and objectively using specialize... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Inconsistencies between studies may be secondary to numerous workplace and employee factors, which make it difficult for researchers to establish specific causal relationships. A larger amount of data exist regarding the male workforce, whereas additional studies are needed to better assess impacts of overtime work and... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
The mental effects on workers will vary based upon the work they do, the number of hours they work, and the individual working. Groupon performed a study in July 2016 on the effects of work. The results found that 38% work too much, 46% never had time to relax, and 60% of pollers have an unhealthy work-life balance. Wh... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
A 2004 study of workers in Australia showed a trend that satisfaction levels decreased as the number of hours worked increased. They also stated that these effects could be lessened for those who enjoyed working extensive hours. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
These types of workers are more satisfied with their work-life balance. In addition to working satisfaction, another Australian longitudinal cohort study revealed poorer mental health in workers with long working hours. The authors conducted a 12-year longitudinal follow-up cohort consisting of 18,420 people and 90,637... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
With the Mental Component Summary (MCS) of the Short Form 36 (SF-36) measure, they noted a 48% increased probability regarding mental health decline in those workers working 49–59 hours per week, compared with those under standard working hours (that is, 35–40 hours per week). The probability increased by 53% in those ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
These impacts can also be seen with working longer daily hours: even in the case of a 4-10 work week, with 40 hours spread over 4 days, the longer days were shown to have higher fatigue for government employees impacted.Similar gender differences were noted in other studies. In follow-up to the Whitehall study, a resea... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
They also indicated a trend that for every 10-hour increase in weekly working hours, an associated 40% increase in depression symptoms and 31% increase in anxiety symptoms were noted. Similar trends were not noted among male workers. Similarly, Margot Shields surveyed 3,830 men and women between the ages of 25 and 54 w... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
She analyzed the relationship between working hours and depression. Her results found that women had increased likelihood of experiencing depression as more hours were worked.Suicidal ideation is another concern for overtime work. Research conducted in South Korea recruited 67,471 samples, and the results revealed 30% ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
There was also increased suicidal ideation noted among workers working for 51–60 hours per week in both males and females.In summary, mental effects related to overtime work include lower working satisfaction, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Among these, depression and anxiety are more predominant among fem... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Some research has proposed probable reasons for the gender difference. Female workers tend to take on more household responsibilities after work, which contributes to their mental stress. Also, female workers have been reported as relative minorities within the working place; at times experiencing lower job control, bu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Consecutive periods of working straight shifts, lack of breaks during the day, and consecutive days of working without a day off lead to decreased efficiency and productivity in workers. A synopsis of the book "Tired Cops: The Importance of Managing Police Fatigue" by Bryan Vila analyzed how these affected police offic... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
They studied the link between overtime and the increased risk of cardiovascular disorder (CVD) events. Their results included evidence that showed that for people who worked at least 10 years for each additional hour worked, starting from the 46th hour, his or her risk of a CVD event increased by 1%. In addition to the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
in Economics from the Center for Monetary and Financial Studies (CEMFI), researched the correlation between working long hours and the likelihood of individuals smoking, drinking, having a high body mass index (BMI), and being less physically active. The long-term effects of alcohol consumption include increased on-the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Margot Shields' 1994–1997 study also analyzed the relationship between long hours and changes in weight, smoking, drinking, and exercising. For men, longer hours were associated with unhealthy weight gain. Increased smoking occurred for both men and women, and an increase in drinking existed for women. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
No relationship could be drawn regarding changes in physical activity.In Osaka, Japan, researchers completed a 5-year study on the effects of long work hours on hypertension in 1999. At the end of their study, they had surveyed 941 male Japanese white-collar workers. They concluded that long work hours are negatively-a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
They found that there was statistically-significant evidence for an association between longer working hours and development of Type II Diabetes, but only for individuals of low socioeconomic status such as manual laborers, when compared to other SES groups. The lower SES group working longer hours had a 29% increased ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
They also postulated that sleep may be a mediator for this association, since inadequate sleep or sleep of poor quality / quantity can be a predictor of Type II diabetes. The workers in the lower SES group may have less control over their schedule, and this may include disruptive schedules interfering with circadian rh... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
These participants were free of atrial fibrillation at baseline. Mean age was 43.4 years. During follow up over 10 years, those working long hours (55 hours or more per week) were at 40% higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation compared to those working a standard 35-40 hour-week. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
In their study, the investigators controlled for age, sex, SES, smoking, BMI, physical activity, and alcohol consumption. The investigators also commented that this association between long working hours and atrial fibrillation appeared to be independent of classic risk factors of atrial fibrillation due to the similar... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
They hypothesized underlying mechanisms for this association may include longer exposure to stress, sleep deprivation, and / or dysregulation of the HPA axis causing an increase in cortisol production. They also noted that this estimate might have been biased for several reasons. One reason could have been if workers w... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
A second reason could be due to confounding of SES. A meta-analysis adjusting for these factors found the risk of a CHD event to be 1.13 instead. Furthermore, the study authors also found a 1.3-times higher risk for those working long hours. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Work-life balance is a major aspect of employees' lives. Naturally, the more hours someone works, the less time they will have to spend with their family or other leisure activities. In 2007, professors from Penn State Abington analyzed the tradeoff between working overtime and home and family life activities. A major ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
However, the additional income from working long hours could limit the actual impact of this loss of time. More specifically, the impact of having a child exponentially increased the impact of working overtime. Especially at a young age, it is very important in child development for the parents to be involved to provid... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
"Karoshi" (translated as worked to death) is a concern in Japan. A paper published in 2006 showed that over a quarter of Japan's workforce were working 50 hours or more per week with half of them working 60 hours or more per week. The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare launched an investigation in 2002 to examine 3... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
A UK census-based longitudinal study of 414,949 people aged 20–64 years, showed that overtime work increases mortality risk in men working for more than 55 hours per week. The authors showed that mortality is higher in technical, semi-routine, or routine occupations (positions with high demand, low levels of control, o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Similar results were found in other studies. A 30-year longitudinal study in Denmark of 5,249 employed Caucasian men aged 40–59 years showed that men working 41–45 hours per week had a 59% increased risk of mortality due to ischemic heart disease compared to men working less than 40 hours per week. The authors also fou... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Furthermore, a study based on data from the Swedish twin registry showed that there was an association between overtime work of more than 5 hours a week and increased mortality in women. This association was also seen in men, but only in the first five years of follow-up. In contrast, the authors showed that working le... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Other studies argue that there is no direct cause-and-effect relationship between hours worked and short and long-term risks. Their claims include comments about factors that alter the outcome of effects. These include an individual's personality, occupation, and income. This research was done through a HILDA (Househol... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Prior research into these counter-arguments was completed by a group of researchers in 1997. They found links between increased CVD events and mental health disorders along with decreases in production as the number of hours worked increased. However, they state that further research is necessary before definitive conc... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
In addition, workers who work overtime when it is not mandatory find that there are very minimal effects on their fatigue levels.In contrast, a Japanese study of 1,105 employees has demonstrated that longer working hours is associated with better health status in older employees. The authors of this study showed that o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
While a definitive conclusion could not be made, suggestions exist to minimize the potential risks of long working hours. Creation of the work schedule should be managed properly to avoid multiple consecutive shifts, long periods of working without rest, and balanced breaks during the day. For families with children, i... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
In 1981, Jay Kim and Anthony Campagna, researchers from Ohio State University, studied the effects Flextime. Flextime allows workers to change their start and end work time. They first analyzed a wide range of studies done on flextime. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Then they separated 353 employees into two groups: one that allowed flextime, and one that did not (control group). Their study found that flextime largely reduced unpaid absences for employees. They also found a general increase in worker performance. Flextime could impact coordinating schedules and meetings, as emplo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_overtime |
Video self-modeling (VSM) is a form of observational learning in which individuals observe themselves performing a behavior successfully on video, and then imitate the targeted behavior. VSM allows individuals to view themselves being successful, acting appropriately, or performing new tasks. Peter Dowrick, a key resea... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Self-review involves someone with a relatively well developed skill watching examples of best performance. A good example of this is the procedure used by Laura Wilkinson, gold medal platform diver, prior to every meet. In an interview after her gold medal performance, she was asked how she prepares for competition. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
She said that she watches a video that consists of her best dives along with encouragement from family and coaches. Self-review is mainly used in sports training as a form of visual imaging. Feedforward, on the other hand, is used with people who do not have a skill or when a new skill is emerging. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Thus, feedforward is the method most often used in instructional or clinical settings. Because Feedforward involves new skills or behaviors performed by the viewer, it usually requires some degree of video editing to make it appear that the viewer is performing in an advanced manner. The term feedforward can be contras... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Feedback allows people to see how they are doing. Feedforward allows them to see how they could be performing; a future self. Feedforward is mainly used in education and therapy circles and mainly with children with disabilities. It has been found to be especially effective with children with autism who tend to be visu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Research across an array of behaviors and many types of disabilities has been ongoing since 1970 with very positive results. Researchers report that changes occur rapidly, there is good maintenance, and that changes generalize across settings. Adoption by educators and therapists has lagged behind the research possibly... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Another reason that the use of VSM seems to be gathering momentum is an article that appeared in 2007 by Scott Bellini and Jennifer Akulian. These researchers conducted a meta-analyses of all forms of video modeling and concluded that both peer and self-modeling met the Council for Exceptional Children's requirements f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
It uses only positive imagery which makes it fit well into most positive behavior support plans. Effects of VSM should be seen almost immediately. If change is not seen after two or three viewings, one can move quickly to an alternate intervention. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Finally, there appears to be no real down-side to the method. No damage is done if it does not work for an individual. As Buggey states in his book, the only tangible outcome when no results are seen is that the person ends up with a flattering video of him or herself. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
In his book, Seeing is Believing, Tom Buggey lists three major ways video footage can be collected and compiled into a feedforward video: Imitation – Particularly useful with language skills. Children are prompted to say words or phrases. Words can be new or rarely used and phrases and sentences can be longer or more c... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Individual words can even be extracted from videos using video editing software and joined into sentences. Role playing – Particularly useful for social skills. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Children act out scenes of proper behavior that are usually challenging for them. For example, the triggers of tantrums can be determined and then each trigger can become a scene in the VSM video – with the person performing appropriate alternative behaviors rather than tantruming. Let the camera roll to capture rare b... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Although VSM has shown overwhelming success with a range of ages and types of disabilities it has had problematic results with children under 4 yrs and with persons with very severe cognitive disabilities (although it has been successful with children with severe autism). Users must use caution to not depict behavior t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
(update: 2017. Studies with children under the age of 4 were restricted to the training of social skills. However, The Dept. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
of Education in Minnesota (MDOE) funded a training project for its Birth to 3 caregivers in 2013. Participants were trained in the use of VSM and were required to record and report results to a MDOE supervisor. Over 90 personnel were trained and 87 submitted results. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
All but 3 reported positive results. The skills addressed were mainly functional and language-based. Because none of these cases involved training social interaction skills, it was hypothesized that use of VSM with children under 4 was practical for certain behaviors.) | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Users should also be aware of the differences between self-modeling and self-observation. While self-modeling involves edited videos depicting only positive imagery, self-observation involves watching raw, unedited footage of behavior. The classic example of self-observation is watching game films in sports. Much can b... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Many self-modeling researchers point to Albert Bandura's studies on social learning as key to the understanding of the effectiveness of VSM. Bandura made two fundamental findings that relate directly to self modeling. The first is that the best models are those as close to the viewer as possible in all attributes inclu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
The other finding involves self-efficacy, the belief that one can succeed at a task. Bandura found that the higher the belief in success, the higher the success rate. Self-modeling allows children to see themselves succeeding, and increases self-efficacy (as long as the new behavior is attainable and developmentally ap... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
One of the reasons VSM may work so well with social behaviors may have been uncovered by Thomas Kehle and colleagues. While working with children with emotional disorders who had had VSM intervention, they noticed that clients had difficulty remembering negative behaviors during exit interviews. They hypothesized that ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Any behavior that can be observed, and thus filmed, can be a subject of a self-modeling video. In their meta-analysis article, Bellini and Akulian identified behaviors that were addressed in studies they evaluated. These include: Cognitive skills such as math computation Selective mutism Language skills Functional skil... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_self-modeling |
Vitality (from Middle French vitalité, from Latin vītālitās, from Latin vīta 'life') is the capacity to live, grow, or develop. Vitality is also the characteristic that distinguishes living from non-living things. To experience vitality is regarded as a basic psychological drive and, in philosophy, a component to the w... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality |
The pursuit and maintenance of health and vitality have been at the forefront of medicine and natural philosophy throughout history. Life depends upon various biological processes known as vital processes. Historically, these vital processes have been viewed as having either mechanistic or non-mechanistic causes. The l... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality |
In traditional cultures, the capacity for life is often directly equated with the soul or breath. This can be found in the Hindu concept prana, where vitality in the body derives from a subtle principle in the air and in food, as well as in Hebrew and ancient Greek texts. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality |
Low vitality or fatigue is a common complaint by older patients. Low vitality is an early indicator of frailty and may reflect an underlying medical illness. Vitality level was measured in 2,487 Copenhagen patients using a standardized, subjective, self-reported vitality scale and was found to be inversely related to D... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality |

Herd behavior is the behavior of individuals in a group acting collectively without centralized direction. Herd behavior occurs in animals in herds, packs, bird flocks, fish schools and so on, as well as in humans. Voting, demonstrations, riots, general strikes, sporting events, religious gatherings, everyday decision-... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
A group of animals fleeing from a predator shows the nature of herd behavior, for example in 1971, in the oft cited article "Geometry For The Selfish Herd", evolutionary biologist W. D. Hamilton asserted that each individual group member reduces the danger to itself by moving as close as possible to the center of the f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Asymmetric aggregation of animals under panic conditions has been observed in many species, including humans, mice, and ants. Theoretical models have demonstrated symmetry-breaking similar to observations in empirical studies. For example, when panicked individuals are confined to a room with two equal and equidistant ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Possible mechanisms for this behavior include Hamilton’s selfish herd theory, neighbor copying, or the byproduct of communication by social animals or runaway positive feedback. Characteristics of escape panic include: Individuals attempt to move faster than normal. Interactions between individuals become physical. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Exits become arched and clogged. Escape is slowed by fallen individuals serving as obstacles. Individuals display a tendency towards mass or copied behavior. Alternative or less used exits are overlooked. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
The philosophers Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche were among the first to criticize what they referred to as "the crowd" (Kierkegaard) and "herd morality" and the "herd instinct" (Nietzsche) in human society. Modern psychological and economic research has identified herd behavior in humans to explain the pheno... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
In "The Metropolis and Mental Life" (1903), early sociologist George Simmel referred to the "impulse to sociability in man", and sought to describe "the forms of association by which a mere sum of separate individuals are made into a 'society' ". Other social scientists explored behaviors related to herding, such as Si... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
"Benign" herding behaviors may occur frequently in everyday decisions based on learning from the information of others, as when a person on the street decides which of two restaurants to dine in. Suppose that both look appealing, but both are empty because it is early evening; so at random, this person chooses restaura... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Crowds that gather on behalf of a grievance can involve herding behavior that turns violent, particularly when confronted by an opposing ethnic or racial group. The Los Angeles riots of 1992, New York Draft Riots and Tulsa Race Riot are notorious in U.S. history. The idea of a "group mind" or "mob behavior" was put for... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Sheeple (; a portmanteau of "sheep" and "people") is a derogatory term that highlights the passive herd behavior of people easily controlled by a governing power or market fads which likens them to sheep, a herd animal that is "easily" led about. The term is used to describe those who voluntarily acquiesce to a suggest... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
The word is pluralia tantum, which means it does not have a singular form. While its origins are unclear, the word was used by W. R. Anderson in his column Round About Radio, published in London 1945, where he wrote:The simple truth is that you can get away with anything, in government. That covers almost all the evils... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Once in, nobody, apparently, can turn you out. The People, as ever (I spell it "Sheeple"), will stand anything.Another early use was from Ernest Rogers, whose 1949 book The Old Hokum Bucket contained a chapter entitled "We the Sheeple". The Wall Street Journal first reported the label in print in 1984; the reporter hea... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
In this usage, taxpayers were derided for their blind conformity as opposed to those who thought independently. The term was first popularized in the late 1980s and early 1990s by conspiracy theorist and broadcaster Bill Cooper on his radio program The Hour of the Time which was broadcast internationally via shortwave ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
This then led to its regular use on the radio program Coast to Coast AM by Art Bell throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. These combined factors significantly increased the popularity of the word and led to its widespread use. The term can also be used for those who seem inordinately tolerant, or welcoming, of widespre... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Currency crises tend to display herding behavior when foreign and domestic investors convert a government's currency into physical assets (like gold) or foreign currencies when they realize the government is unable to repay its debts. This is called a speculative attack and it will tend to cause moderate inflation in t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Large stock market trends often begin and end with periods of frenzied buying (bubbles) or selling (crashes). Many observers cite these episodes as clear examples of herding behavior that is irrational and driven by emotion—greed in the bubbles, fear in the crashes. Individual investors join the crowd of others in a ru... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Hey and Morone (2004) analyzed a model of herd behavior in a market context. Some empirical works on methods for detecting and measuring the extent of herding include Christie and Huang (1995) and Chang, Cheng and Khorana (2000). These results refer to a market with a well-defined fundamental value. A notable incident ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
There are two strands of work in economic theory that consider why herding occurs and provide frameworks for examining its causes and consequences. The first of these strands is that on herd behavior in a non-market context. The seminal references are Banerjee (1992) and Bikhchandani, Hirshleifer and Welch (1992), both... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
A large subsequent literature has examined the causes and consequences of such "herds" and information cascades.The second strands concerns information aggregation in market contexts. A very early reference is the classic paper by Grossman and Stiglitz (1976) that showed that uninformed traders in a market context can ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Herd behavior is often a useful tool in marketing and, if used properly, can lead to increases in sales and changes to the structure of society. Whilst it has been shown that financial incentives cause action in large numbers of people, herd mentality often wins out in a case of "Keeping up with the Joneses". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |

Marketing can easily transcend beyond commercial roots, in that it can be used to encourage action to do with health, environmentalism and general society. Herd mentality often takes a front seat when it comes to social marketing, paving the way for campaigns such as Earth Day, and the variety of anti-smoking and anti-... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Opinion leaders in schools created the logo and branding for the campaign, built content for social media and led in-school presentations to engage audience interaction. It was thus concluded that the success of the campaign was rooted in the fact that its means of communication was the audience itself, giving the targ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Herd behaviour not only applies to students in schools where they are highly visible, but also amongst communities where perceived action plays a strong role. Between 2003 and 2004, California State University carried out a study to measure household conservation of energy, and motivations for doing so. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
It was found that factors like saving the environment, saving money or social responsibility did not have as great an impact on each household as the perceived behaviour of their neighbours did. Although the financial incentives of saving money, closely followed by moral incentives of protecting the environment, are of... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior |
Occupational rehabilitation is the science and practices of returning injured workers to a level of daily work activities that is appropriate to their functional and cognitive capacity related to their position of which may be influenced by the severity of a worker's injuries. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_rehabilitation |

Software was developed in many companies and in government to provide this service in the 1... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_dissemination_of_information |
For example, the system at Ft. Monmouth automatically sent out (by mail) a different set of abstracts to each of about 1,000 scientists and engineers in the army depending on what they were working on.
