A company hosted fair is a great way to help employees understand more about their company benefits such as retirement account, vision, and ergonomics. One large company based in the heart of San Francisco but does business worldwide hosted a human resource related fair covering items such as health and wellness held a single day event covering from 10am to 2pm where their hybrid working employees can understand not only how to get properly adjusted to their computer workstations at home and in the office but interact with an ergonomics expert who answers all of their pressing questions. This event hosts an ergonomic specialist with Ergobility that was provided a company provided standard chair, desk, and some peripherals to expose and help demonstrate to employees that want to understand proper fit of the office furniture standards. It allowed the employee to understand how everything comes together properly and also touches on proper body mechanics and habits as well. The ergonomic specialist usually will limit each employee's time to 5-15 minutes so that each employee that is interested does not have to wait too long to get their individualized attention. This worked out great because the ergonomic specialist can adjust the time allotted based on the line of employees waiting for assistance. The employees are encouraged to participate through active advertising of the benefits of the event. At the ergonomics booth, the employees are provide tips and tricks on how to properly adjust a computer workstation at home and in the office. Vision tips and stretching as well as how to utilize micro-breaks most effectively are also provided. Employees that do engage the ergonomist are provided a give-away item such as a phone pop-cap or other ergonomic related small giveaway.

Employees are also provided ways to get further assistance if needed. Even some that have discomfort and been putting off getting ergonomic assistance. While others don't realize that they have been working in a way that is encouraging poor postures and biomechanics which could eventually lead to a cumulative related injury such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. The best part about the event is that it is both fun and beneficial for all employees participating in the ergonomics booth and it boosts morale and helps employees realize that the company does care about the wellbeing of their employees.
