1. Many a time people feel fatigue because of poorly designed workspaces. Your desk, your chair, your computer and keyboard’s placement, height and angle - each of them- plays a crucial role in preventing muscle and eye strain. That is what has given rise to an interest in the study of ergonomics. It is the applied science of equipment design at the workplace. Ergonomics is intended to reduce fatigue and discomfort for people sitting and working in offices. 2. So why should organizations follow ergonomics principles? In a recent study, it has been found that over 60% of individuals diagnosed with Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and not received any training in strain injury at their offices and another 30% had received incorrect ergonomic advice. 3. Another interesting find has been that employees who turn up to work in spite of being in pain can cause massive productivity losses amounting to thousands of dollars annually. Research findings have shown that most offices in India are operating with furniture that is a mismatch to the highly networked work culture that exists and there is hardly any awareness among employees about ergonomics and how it impacts them. This has resulted in an alarming 71% employees suffering from rapidly spreading Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD). The symptoms are back pain, shoulder pain of varying intensity, leading to lowering of productivity of employees at work.
