CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND, 1 December 2010 - WorkPace's position as market leader in the area of stretch-break RSI prevention software is further strengthened with the release of version 4.0. Significant improvements and new features include:
- New professional quality videos guide users through each exercise
- New modernised Windows 7 style look and feel
- New low intrusion break reminders
- 64-bit windows support
- Expanded support for 11 languages, with WorkPace now available in French, Chinese, Thai, Indonesian and Russian, as well as English, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian and Swedish.
One of the most visible new features is the video exercises (see www.workpace.com/product_new). These video exercises allow users to follow each movement live on screen to ensure they do each exercise correctly. Key muscle areas are highlighted to illustrate where users should feel each stretch, and moving arrows are used to emphasize key movements. These videos greatly enhance the ability for users to do exercises and stretches correctly as well has providing high user engagement which increases user compliance with doing the exercises. The exercise videos have been carefully designed to comply with cultural expectations in different international markets, such as the Middle East.
WorkPace 4.0 provides a fresh look and feel matching Windows 7. It also provides full support for 64-bit versions of Windows.
Getting the balance between ensuring staff take sufficient breaks at the right time, yet minimizing work disruption is challenging. WorkPace further improves this area by shifting onscreen reminders to appear unobtrusively in the bottom corner of the screen, out of the way of the user's work.
Wellnomics support for international markets and large global corporate customers has been further enhanced with the addition of 5 new languages, bringing the total number of languages supported to 11. Corporate customers with overseas staff can now be assured that the majority of their staff, no matter where they are based, can see WorkPace in their native language.

Integrated with Wellnomics Risk Management version 2.4, WorkPace 4.0 provides the leading office ergonomics software solution available on the market.
