International Conference on Humanizing Work and Work Environment (HWWE) conference is one of the important annual events in the field of Human Factors and Ergonomics. The first HWWE conference was held in 2001. HWWE serves as a major forum for the exchange of ideas concerning the improvement in work and work environment. One of the important resources of any activity being human being, the utilization of this resource is important for growth of an economy. Ergonomics provides  suitable ways of doing and completing manual task that leads to improvement of productivity. Ergonomics not only improves the productivity by making the task less strenuous but also concentrates on the environmental safety and health of human beings.  Ergonomics focuses on design and evaluation of tasks, workplace, tools, equipment, implements, and the work system as a whole.
