Office Ergonomics

Key to health and safety in the workplace

To hire and retain the best workers in today’s hot job market, employers need to be aware of their employees’ work environment.

The need for workplace health awareness has grown, partly because of the increased number of employees experiencing repetitive strain injuries. Rising health-care costs have prompted employers to design effective workplace health and wellness programs.
