What is this workshop about?
In the workplace, the mental and physical health of employees is increasingly recognized as an extremely valuable asset for companies, and ergonomics—the science of designing work environments to fit the needs of the human body—plays a crucial role in promoting comfort, productivity, and satisfaction at work.
During this workshop, we will explore the relationship between ergonomics and mental well-being. From preventing musculoskeletal injuries to relieving stress, we will address the ergonomic risk factors that can negatively affect employees and discuss strategies to minimize these impacts.
