Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the study of understanding how people interact and work in an environment. In our case, we study and understand how people interact with their working environment. All working environments are different physically, and all working environments are perceived differently by each individual.

As part of our WHP programme, we assess and analyse the Ergonomics of your employees’ and managers’ workspaces. We know that:

• Proper ergonomics prevent common work-related injury
• Ergonomics isn’t like the quadratic formula, one formula doesn’t fit all
• Depending on the nature of your job, your height/build, work attire, the ergonomics can change
• Workplace improvement can significantly benefit employees and employers

Our mission is to improve an employee’s performance by optimizing the interaction between them and their workspace, creating an environment boosting employee well-being and in which they feel satisfied and motivated to work as productively as they can.

Workplace Assessment

The second part of the WHP analyses the workplace environment as a whole to understand employee engagement and satisfaction as well as how best to improve employee well-being and, ultimately, happiness. This covers a wide range of areas to focus on, including:

• Office and Leisure areas and furniture
• Requested Attire and associated comfort
• Nature of daily tasks/activities
• General working environment and space
• Discussions and surveys with employees and managers

Our assessment procedure will then consist of both pre- and post- survey (clearly tailored to the nature of the company and the employee roles) and result in a comparison of the surveys conducted to demonstrate improvement over a period of time.

Ultimately, our aim is to not only provide recommendations for improvement of the workplace but also highlight to employees how to adapt to a given work environment, ensuring long-term satisfaction and company success.
