As an employer, costs and profitability are of the outmost concern for any organization. As a result, investing in ergonomic workspaces may appear to be counter intuitive to meeting bottom line objectives. However recent studies have shown that by providing employees with ergonomic work spaces, you can not only increase employee engagement, productivity, reduce overall costs and more.  Here’s how:

1. Increased Employee Engagement: Employees who are provided with ergonomic work spaces feel valued by their employer. They recognize when an employer is willing to invest in them and as a result, will invest themselves in the business.
2. Increased Productivity: Employees who are comfortable in their work space, are free to focus on the task at hand. They are not plagued by fatigue or injuries which can impact their day to day workflow or absenteeism.
3. Cost Reduction: Employees who sustain injuries as a result of repetitive strains increase workers compensation and benefits premiums through massage, physical therapy and acupuncture sessions. Mitigating the risk of injuries in the workplace benefits your bottom line.
4. Happy Healthy Employees: The most important benefit of providing an ergonomic work station is having happy healthy employees who trust and believe in their employment. Employees will feel safe in their workplace and will feel confident bringing small issues forward before they become big and costly issues.
