sales and service - such that all Tesla employees can achieve and sustain
healthy high work performance. What does this mean? It means this
individual is not content with just eliminating the risk of injury but goes
further to ensure healthy, human performance is "designed-in" to the human-work
system. This individual will support management of change, works to
accommodate a wide range of people both physically and mentally and works with
Teams to prevent repetitive and overuse injuries. This individual also pays
