Virtual Ergonomic Solutions:
Position your workplace for performance

What could be holding you back?

Group 14

Poor Posture

Poor posture and repetitive motion are major causes of muscle fatigue, discomfort, poor digestion, insomnia and stress.

Group 21

More Injuries

Increases in work-related discomfort and injuries are symptoms of underlying problems.

Group 31

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.
