What We Offer
ONLINE home office QUESTIONNAIRE
Our unique home office questionnaire is designed to raise awareness of the employees current setup as well as their postures that are being adapted while working at home.
For the employee it draws their attention to where they need to make improvements.
For the company it helps them to identify their most at risk employees and to deploy the most appropriate interventions to maximize their current available resources.
From the information gathered we advise practical and simple solutions to the most common home office issues. It also allows us to advise on any escalation that maybe required.
Home Office e-learning training
We will provide you access to our easy to follow pragmatic video based E-learning platform.
Follow the text and watch the videos on how a home office should be setup and how our posture needs to be taken into full consideration, even when working from home.
Our platform also includes a Home Office Quiz at the end to test your knowledge and enhance your overall understanding of this exercise.
From a company point of view it also allows you to track your employees progress.
Phone Assessment Consultation
In some cases or if you prefer, we also offer the opportunity for you to speak to one of our highly trained team members and they will talk you through correct setup of your workstation based equipment you currently have available.
Specific links to additional equipment will then be provided if required.
Access to our E-Learning Portal will also be granted so you can review your setup in the near future and test your knowledge.
A tailored exercise programme may also be provided based on the assessment findings.
Full Office Home Assessments
Employees may require a full one to one home office assessment.
Each individual completes an Ergo Posture Score questionnaire to better understand the current situation.
We then schedule a time with one of our Physiotherapy led team and they will call to your home office.
They will go through the entire setup, step by step putting this exercise into both context and enhancing its relevance.
The importance of a home office is often overlooked and so it’s important to remember that some people do require this level of intervention.
a necessity for Mobile Workers
Reduce work-related injuries
We aim to relieve pain whilst sitting, especially neck & upper back pain, whilst increasing work productivity and broaden their awareness of posture and positions.
implement a real office at home
Same but different; a matched level of detail and concern for space and equipment should be given when setting up your home working space, as you would in a normal office.
Meet your employees’ unique needs
Each of our assessments take each person’s unique characteristics, posture, work practices and demands into account, ensuring that their workstation has been optimised.
Make your office an optimal working environment!
A couch with a laptop on your knee does not make an ideal home office; neither does a kitchen table and chair have the required adjustability. A flawed set up can, over time, have a serious impact on the worker’s health. But, the good news is that this is easily avoidable!
Ergonomics assessments can eliminate these strains and make your home office a healthy and safe working environment.
