Sessions

There are a lot of myths floating around that “sitting is the new smoking” and “back pain is because of your chair”.  Your employees respond by asking for new equipment. The reality of ergonomics is very different. During this session we will explore the correct uses of sit/stand stations, what really makes equipment “ergonomic,” and the behaviors and habits that affect workplace comfort and productivity. This session will detail how your employees should be working and save your company from buying a lot of expensive equipment.  We will also discuss how correct working postures fit into employee health and ergonomics programs.
