Ergonomic Assessment
No matter where you are in the US or Canada—or where you are in your "Ergolution" journey—Alter Ergo is here to guide you and your team towards a safer workplace and healthier lifestyle.
It all begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify your ergonomic goals
Tailored Solution
During your in-person or virtual ergonomic assessment, program, or consultation, one of our certified professional ergonomists will review and discuss the findings as they relate to your workplace. We’ll then tailor solutions—such as workspace adjustments or furniture recommendations—to help optimize your team’s environment and improve their working techniques.
Maintenance with Follow-up
Finally, within 30 days of your ergonomic assessment, we’ll schedule a follow-up to evaluate your progress. If a comprehensive ergonomic program is the best fit for your needs, we’ll stay in close contact throughout the entire process. We’ll ensure your customized plan is effectively replacing bad habits with positive ones, and make any necessary adjustments to keep you on track for success.
