ERGONOMICS
Today’s desk-bound, computer-driven industries can cause, through intensive and continual computer tasks, repetitive strains on employees. Recent studies indicate the costs of operating a company are increasing. Salaries, insurance, benefits and equipment upgrade costs spiral upwards where productivity and efficiency have not kept pace. What’s the problem and where is the solution?
One problem is complaints involving aches and pains in the neck, shoulders and back. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (severe wrist and hand pain) is reaching epidemic proportions. These injuries are a direct result of a combination of poor posture and improper hand positioning at the keyboard. These ailments lead to low efficiency and poor productivity—and it’s costing corporations around the world millions of dollars.
It is more cost effective to address ergonomic issues in a proactive manner, solving problems in the workplace before they become serious health issues. Technology has created this problem—and technology has provided the answer. Ergonomic products have been developed that ensure proper hand positioning over the keyboard and good posture while sitting at a desk. Ennis Office Designs is your source to make sense of the many ergonomic products now available:
- Ergonomic chairs
