Businesses contemplating the return of employees to physical workplaces have a lot on their plates, regardless of whether theyâre updating office layouts to protect workers from COVID-19 or reopening facilities that were shut down during the pandemic. Careful planning around these moves is critical, but it is also important for companies to ensure that other workplace considerations do not fall by the wayside â namely, potential ergonomic risks.Â
Whether adopting permanent or hybrid work-from-home models, returning to the office or resuming activity at facilities, it is crucial for companies to make sure they have ergonomically sound set-ups in place to safeguard employeesâ wellbeing. While doing so has historically been more of an art than a science, the use of artificial intelligence in ergonomic risk evaluations has made identifying and preventing such risks much easier.
