Australian Tax Office Seeks Keylogger To Combat RSI 138
schliz writes "The Australian Tax Office plans to track employees' keystrokes and mouse clicks in attempts to address the growing incidence of repetitive strain injuries (RSI) among staff. It hopes to purchase commercial, off-the-shelf 'pause or exercise break software' that delivers safety messages to users, while determining 'more information about the nature of computing use in the workplace.'"

Repetitive stress injury how little to do with actual clicks. It has everything to do with the way people hold their hands over the keyboards and mice.
If you have to lift your hand from the desk or wrist rest, then you are doing it wrong. It's that simple.

Spend money, get statistics, show a markable improvement.
The alternative might be cheaper and make more common sense but it isn't trackable and suffers from wing-creep
