Office Ergonomics Courses
Poor ergonomics and prolonged sitting increase mortality rates similar to that of obesity and smoking. We’ll help equip your teams with practical solutions to reduce these risks to enhance your well-being and productivity.
In today’s fast-paced work environments, employees spend a significant amount of time sitting at desks and working on computers. Prolonged sitting and repetitive tasks can lead to various musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, neck strain, and wrist injuries. To mitigate these risks and promote overall well-being and productivity, many organisations are investing in office ergonomic courses.Â
Our ergonomics talks and workshops consider workspace design, user behaviour and task design to promote good work posture and habits. Although originally meant for computer users, the content can be adapted to any form of desk work.
