Early ergonomic intervention can reduce staff absence by 45%.
Ergonomics is more than chair height and screen angles, it’s the science of how people work best. When environments are designed to support the body, employees experience less pain, fewer distractions, improved focus, and higher levels of wellbeing. For businesses, this translates into lower sickness absence, increased productivity, and a happier, more engaged workforce.
“Up to 80% of office workers experience pain linked to poor workstation ergonomics, but 70% report immediate improvement after a single ergonomic adjustment.”
“MSK issues are the leading cause of sick days in the UK”
