Workplace Ergonomics

Improve working comfort and engagement

Computer users are at risk of musculoskeletal-related injuries such as back, neck and wrist strain. Low levels of discomfort can progress to pain, strain and injury. Working in pain makes it difficult to focus, which negatively impacts productivity and engagement. We optimize technology and expertise to deliver best-in-class ergonomic services, with an employee-centric model. All recommendations are tailored to each client’s equipment standards.

The Posture People proven approach helps improve the health and engagement of your workforce. We apply our effective methodology to office ergonomics:

  • Focus on empowering employees with an interactive, education-based, self-help approach.
  • Improve computer and office ergonomics by changing habits, postures, and worksetup first.
  • Reach for a stretch: learn the value of stretching and how to effectively stretch for improved comfort.
