Join us virtually for Office Ergonomics Essentials March 9-10!
WFH has its perks – when it’s done right. Currently, we’re seeing musculoskeletal injuries spreading on a scale not seen before: lower back pain, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more. And that’s not to mention the knock-on effects this has on mental health, productivity, and quality of life.
Here’s the good news: people like working from home because they enjoy the flexibility, freedom, and being the master over their environment. But, you need to know how to accomplish this.
WFH is Starting to Catch Up With Us: Protect Your Body and Your Colleagues
Laptops and wooden chairs started sending people to emergency rooms only a couple months after the pandemic began.
We are offering you a chance to develop the knowledge and skills you need to truly master your environment. Your workspace should work for you, whoever you are and whatever your unique needs are. The same goes for your staff and colleagues.
Unfortunately, there’s a tendency in our culture to wait until something is wrong and then ‘react’ to that problem. Join us to learn how to prevent those problems for yourself or the staff you support.
The number of injuries we as ergonomists are seeing have gone off the charts. This is coupled with some additional concerning trends as well: injuries are becoming more severe, people aren’t taking enough breaks, surgeries are delayed leaving people to manage pain and discomfort, and opioids are being prescribed for preventable conditions.
