Virtual Ergonomic Solutions:
Position your workplace for performance
What could be holding you back?
Poor Posture
Poor posture and repetitive motion are major causes of muscle fatigue, discomfort, poor digestion, insomnia and stress.
More Injuries
Increases in work-related discomfort and injuries are symptoms of underlying problems.
Lower Productivity
An uptick in sick days and decrease in productivity signal the need for more functional layouts and body mechanics.
Alter your perception of ergonomic and workplace safety. It starts here.
With more and more people working from home, companies must understand the consequences of a poor work station. But not everyone can, or should, spend hundreds of dollars on a new chair or standing desk. Changing the position of monitors is a minimal to no cost improvement that can greatly reduce muscle tension and fatigue.
According to a University of Cincinnati College of Medicine study published in Ergonomics in Design, Forbes: The hidden costs when remote workers spend all day on the couch changing the position of monitors, armrests and even chair height can make an enormous difference in creating a safer workplace whether that’s in a traditional office setting or at home.

Virtual Solution
During your virtual ergonomic assessment, one of our certified ergonomic assessment specialists will review and discuss the findings as they relate to your workplace. We will customize solutions, such as modifying your workplace or providing furniture recommendations, to get your team’s environment and techniques back on track.
Virtual Follow-up
Finally, we will meet with you again within 30 days to evaluate your progress. We’ll make sure your custom plan has been successful in replacing bad habits with positive ones. If necessary, we’ll make slight adjustments at that time.
