In recent times, we have bombarded you with information about why you should pay attention to your posture and how you can make your workday much healthier with a few simple initiatives. But what if you are already well on your way with our tips but still need a little guidance?
The benefits of ergonomics in the workplace are relatively unknown
Workplace ergonomics is a topic that has only recently been put on the agenda for many companies. With our network of specialists, we aim to serve everyone.
Investment is often made in employees in the form of training, but investments in ergonomics are often lacking. The benefit of an ergonomics workshop or a workplace assessment is often not entirely clear.
This is despite the fact that investing in your colleagues by offering ergonomic aids or knowledge about ergonomics can yield enormous benefits. This can result in:
- reduced physical strain in the workplace
- reduction of physical complaints
- prevention of efficiency loss due to physical complaints
- prevention of absenteeism due to physical complaints
How can we help you?
Make use of another way we can share our knowledge with you; in addition to offering aids, we can now also help you by providing knowledge. We already did this by writing our blogs about, for example, the correct posture for sitting and standing work, but now we can even inform you by visiting you.
Our network of ergonomists is happy to help you by providing personal advice. This is already possible in a relatively short phone call where you explain your situation and the ergonomist gives you advice. But even better, of course, is to have a workplace assessment carried out.
1. Telephone consultation | view service
Our most accessible service we can offer you. If you are unsure about a particular setup of your workplace or have specific questions regarding your posture or other ergonomics-related queries, you can always ask our specialists for advice.
They are, of course, happy to help you, and should a phone call not be sufficient, it is always possible to visit one of our collaboration partners or to have a workplace assessment carried out at your office.
2. Workplace assessment | view service
In a workplace assessment, your workplace is examined for possible improvements in your posture and the tools you use daily. Together with the ergonomist, you will, for example, check whether your sitting posture can be improved, if the chair can be adjusted better, if your monitor is set up correctly, and much more. This way, you try to put less strain on the body, and less strain ultimately means fewer complaints.
A common misconception is that a workplace assessment is only for people who have developed complaints such as RSI due to the work they perform. In reality, once you have complaints, you are actually already too late. Especially with complaints that often develop in an office environment, there is a long recovery process. So, in this case, the saying 'Prevention is better than cure' certainly applies.
3. Workshops | view service
If you are not the only one who wants more knowledge about ergonomics in the workplace, we can also offer you various workshops. Whether it concerns an office environment or logistics, we adapt the workshops so that you receive the most relevant information.
The workshops always begin with a presentation of approximately one hour, where we like to have everyone present. During this theoretical part, we discuss the basics that apply to you. Afterwards, depending on the type of workshop being given, everyone returns to work, where we observe you in your 'natural habitat'.
After the observation, we discuss possible improvements with you individually and together we adjust your workplace correctly. For logistical activities, for example, a group assignment is carried out after the theoretical part. This way, you can immediately put the theory into practice and receive guidance where necessary.
