Ergonomics in the Workplace
Creating a Healthier Work Environment for Better Productivity
"A healthy workplace is not just good for employees - it's good for business."
Workplace ergonomics is the science of designing work environments and tasks to fit the capabilities and limitations of workers. When implemented correctly, ergonomic principles can dramatically reduce workplace injuries, increase productivity, and improve employee satisfaction and retention.
At Dr. Mohan's Manual Physiotherapy Clinic, we specialize in helping companies create healthier, more productive work environments through comprehensive ergonomic assessments and solutions.
