As an ergonomic consultant I enjoy working with various clients and showing value every day. Each client, especially those that I have developed years of experience with, will ask for specific services based on their needs. Some bigger clients have requests come in weekly, and through the use of technology Ergobility does it's best to make it easy on meeting the needs of their employees to ensure they are kept healthy and comfortable...the mantras of good workplace ergonomics. An ergonomics program can help boost an employee's attention to detail on the work they are hired to perform. One such example came about with a client from San Francisco that had a group of employees working on application development. They were working on testing these applications on a tablet computer for end user testing and modifications. The issues they were experiencing was typically they would experience dominant shoulder discomfort radiating down the arm and up to the neck areas. The ergonomic consultants were able to quickly identify that the amount of shoulder flexion required with their setup was not acceptable and the cause of a lot of employee discomfort. This discomfort was not allowing the employee to concentrate on the work she was assigned to perform. The ergonomic evaluator was able to improve the postures of the workers and allow relief to the shoulder, neck, and arm areas. The best part about this evaluation was that the recommended changes were applicable to the rest of the group and thus was made a "Best Practice." Not before long this best practice was implemented across all workstations in the areas and even new worker workstations. This significantly improved worker comfort and ability to concentrate on the work they were assigned. Since the team worked long hours, more than 8 hours per day, the number of recordable incidents reduced by more than half after implementing a sound ergonomics program. The business in San Francisco got the much-needed help from Ergobility which helped the business save money in Worker's Compensation costs, employee time-away, and allowed the employees to be more efficient. All while helping the employee culture too. The employees see that their company wants them to be able to work safely and succeed in their career. If you are a company in SF or the greater San Francisco Bay Area, speak to an ergonomic consultant with Ergobility who can provide excellent ergonomic evaluations and ergonomic assessments for your high technology business.
