As the weather turns cooler and the colorful leaves fall, our minds turn to the upcoming holiday season that includes shopping for fall/winter clothes, gifts for loved ones, decorating our homes, with our schedules getting busier with parties and programs. If you’re like me, you also think of ways to stay healthy and avoid the colds, flus, etc. that always circulate.
Central to our lives in this season is the ability to shop for what we need (and maybe just want) either in a store or online. I love the convenience of clicking a few buttons and getting what I ordered in 2 days, but do enjoy shopping in stores as well, being able to try on clothes and actually inspect the items (including groceries!) to be purchased.
Whether the shopping is done online or in person, manufacturers of all these goods will be getting busier and asking their employees to work efficiently to get as much product out as possible. If they can stay healthy, injury-free, and know they are cared for, they will regularly come to work and do their best. The end result is satisfied customers, and a healthy bottom-line for the manufacturer.
A significant part of making this all a reality is having workstations that are ergonomically designed. When the “work fits the worker,” everyone wins. Some benefits include:
- Increased productivity
- Improved posture
- Reduced strain on muscles and joints
- Reduced incidence of pain and injury
- Fewer Workman’s Comp claims and better rates
- Better mood of workers including reduced stress
- Improved morale/job satisfaction
- Reduced absenteeism
