Employers are always faced with the tradeoff between efficiency and productivity vs. employee safety and comfort. The good news is that they do not have to be a tradeoff. Rather, good ergonomic assessment and remedial design can also result in improved efficiency and productivity. Employees' time away from work due to injury reduces productivity, awkward equipment and procedures reduces efficiency, and violation of "compliance" requirements can certainly affect the bottom line. Creating an ergonomically effective workplace results in employee safety while increasing efficiency and productivity.

How We Help
Usernomics can assist your company with ergonomic assessment, workplace design improvements, and staff training. We apply a rigorous and systematic approach to ergonomic assessment, design, and training. Our assessment and design culminates in empirical testing to ensure that all recommendations result in maximizing safety, efficiency, productivity, and compliance. Our Ergonomics Design is distinguished by our additional expertise in user interface design, instructional design, and usability testing.
It is important to note that Usernomics sells no ergonomic products and takes an independent, empirical approach that emphasizes biometrics, ergonomics, and usability.
Methods
We use quantitative methods to evaluate the workplace and determine those areas that will most benefit from design and placement changes. Once the critical ergonomic hot spots have been identified and evaluated, we can re-design the problem areas to maximize the ergonomic impact. Finally, we can train your staff to self-monitor and regulate their ergonomic environment. The objective is to meet compliance requirements while increasing safety, efficiency, and productivity.
