At first glance, everything in your office might seem fine. 

Employees are diligently working at their desks, meeting deadlines, and keeping the wheels of productivity turning. But beneath the surface, a hidden productivity killer is creeping in — chronic pain and repetitive stress injuries caused by poorly designed workstations.

Without ergonomic solutions tailored to your employees, you may be unknowingly setting the stage for discomfort, injury, and reduced efficiency. These issues can spiral into costly outcomes, including increased workers’ compensation claims and lost productivity.

As workplaces change and technology moves forward, innovative ergonomic solutions are making a big difference in creating healthier, more comfortable spaces for employees.

The benefits of integrating ergonomically designed furniture and equipment are well documented and include a wide range of health, safety, and comfort benefits. 

In medical environments, ergonomics are especially important because of the multitude of people they can impact -- and we’re not just talking about patients.
