on-site ergo

Taylor'd Ergonomics' flagship program puts an ergonomist at your site for one or two days per week. The ergonomist becomes part of your team, handling all strain/sprain issues from new designs to employee accommodation. We bring in employee awareness materials at no extra cost, including weekly and monthly content, and regular ergo contests.

getting the most from sit-stand furniture

If you've invested in sit-stand desks, you'll want to ensure that employees are using them effectively. This program includes 12 modules that guide employees through the process of adjusting the desk, chair, screen, and more. It also motivates them to optimize the duration of standing each day, and provides exercises to promote strength and flexibility.
