Workstation
Assessments
Proper workstation ergonomics
decreases injuries and increases
productivity; it’s that simple.
Your workstations are specific to your working environment. That’s why you need a uniquely designed solution to address workstation health.
What Does
Apex Have to Offer?
In response to the growing demand for workstation ergonomic assessments, we’ve developed our own proprietary workstation ergonomics application called Workstation Health. The purpose is to provide a thorough, easy-to-use online tutorial to help employees set up their workstations in an ergonomically safe way.
Online Assessments
Workstation Health is an easy-to-use, web-based application used to assess workstation ergonomics and provide personalized solutions to employees.
Workstation Health is a service that leverages technology and the expertise of Registered Kinesiologists to help clients improve their workstation health. Workstation Health is both easy to implement and flexible—it can accommodate changing roles and a variety of workstation setups.
How does it work?
Workstation Health takes your employees through a step-by-step interactive tutorial that assists them with setting up their workstation appropriately. Workstation Health comes equipped with ongoing support from a Registered Kinesiologist who can provide employees with education and coaching as they progress through the application.
What are the benefits?
Building Workstation Health into your new-hire process and as a recurring training initiative for your team is a simple and proactive way to address workstation health and improve job satisfaction and productivity. Workstation Health also allows users to report discomforts—neck soreness, back pain, etc.—specifically related to their workstation. If an employee reports a discomfort, individualized stretch and exercise plans will be immediately generated and open to review. Through their Dashboard, employees can access their exercises, learning resources and useful tips and tools to help keep their workstation health in check.
How can I track employee progress?
Reporting is one of the key features of Workstation Health. Aggregate reporting provides an overview of workstation health that can be used to develop organization-specific ergonomic initiatives. Management can use this data to make more informed decisions when it comes to implementing interventions that are specific to their employees’ needs. Reports are on an aggregate level, and are therefore confidential and do not reveal any personal or identifiable individual information. If there are specific individual recommendations that need to be made, the Workstation Health Kinesiologist will discuss these cases with management individually.
On-Site Assessments
Having the right chairs is one thing, but having them adjusted appropriately for each employee is what really makes the difference. Through equipment intervention, stretching education and exercise information, Apex will help you master workstation health.
Apex Kinesiologists will visit your workplace and ensure that each workstation—chair, office equipment, etc.—is set up ergonomically so that employees can work safely and productively. When a workstation is set up properly, there’s a decrease in work related injuries and discomfort and increase in employee satisfaction.
Employees are encouraged to ask the Apex Kinesiologist questions and to discuss any concerns. Our experts will give each associate learning resources and stretch break literature that will help promote physical activity at work.
