“Ergonomics” means “an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely.” We could simplify this and say that ergonomics is “the study of work.” 

When establishing proper ergonomics for your Nashville office, you are making the job fit the person rather than trying to make the person fit the job. In other words, your office furniture needs to suit the physical needs of each individual.

No two people are the same, of course, so what is comfortable for one person may not be comfortable for another, and their productivity can be affected. Experts agree that poor ergonomics in the workplace can have serious consequences.

How Can Poor Ergonomics Affect My Nashville Workforce?

The skeleton is the structural framework of your body, and how one carries themselves will affect that structure. Proper posture is an essential aspect of good health and wellness, whereas poor posture is associated with structural decline.

An office with a poor ergonomic environment can be affected over time by some negative results, including:

• Advanced Spinal Degeneration

• Lower Productivity 

• Heightened Risk of Injury

• Lowered Metabolic Rate

• Higher Rates of Employee Absenteeism

• Irreversible Damage

• Respiratory Dysfunction

• Postural Aging
