AT&T; ErgoWise Program Receives Multiple Awards

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, Jun. 11 -/E-Wire/-- AT&T; has received two outstanding media production awards for the AT&T; ErgoWise Web-based ergonomics training course. The training program recently received a second-place Silver Screen Award in the category of Interactive Multimedia from the U.S. International Film and Video Festival. Earlier this year, the training program was awarded a Gold Award in the category of Multimedia by the Multimedia Communications Association International, New Jersey Chapter.

In the AT&T; Web-based ergonomics course, animated characters guide employees through standing and stretching exercises, office redesigns and other activities aimed at improving the comfort and safety of the work environment. ErgoWise provides AT&T; employees information on ergonomically preferable practices via text, still photos and video clips.

"Training is an important element of AT&T;'s overall ergonomics program. We see no reason why training can't be fun and interesting to look at while being informative at the same time," said Lynn Alpaugh, ergonomics program manager in AT&T;'s Environment, Health & Safety organization.

The ErgoWise program was developed by the AT&T; Environment, Health & Safety organization in partnership with AT&T; Health Affairs and AT&T; Labs. It is available in VHS, CD-ROM and Web-based formats.

The 35th Annual U.S. International Film and Video Festival's competition is one of the world's leading events devoted to the selection and recognition of outstanding business, television, documentary, industrial, information and entertainment productions with 1,500 entries received from 33 countries. A complete list of U.S. and International Gold Camera and Silver Screen winners is available on the festival's Web site at www.filmfestawards.com.
