What is Office Ergonomics?

Office ergonomics applies engineering principles to the interaction of humans and their office works paces. The appropriate application of these principles can have substantial positive effects on the comfort and usability of today’s works paces. Ergonomic interventions have been shown to reduce pain, improve efficiency, and increase employee retention. ESi can ensure that office work space investments are directed toward the changes that will yield the greatest ergonomic benefits.

Custom Solutions to Suit Individual Needs

Using ergonomic office equipment that best fits your working style can help prevent injury and aid recovery. No two people are alike, and it’s important to account for personal differences in anthropometry, vision, physical condition and personal preference. ESi understands that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach and works with individuals to account for specific needs and provides recommendations that will contribute to their health and wellbeing. The vast selection of office equipment touted as "ergonomic" can make it hard to know where to start. ESi consultants provide an expert and unbiased perspective to ensure a comprehensive and science-based approach to finding the right ergonomic solutions for a particular environment.
