What is ERGO CHECK?
Ergo Solutions, News Room, employer benefits — By Tannis Shaw on March 11, 2011 at 11:48 pmERGO CHECK is an ergonomic assessment business that specializes in educating people about their bodies (especially the spine), and how to sit properly, no matter what your work station is like.
Too often, an “ergonomic specialist” will come to a work place and modify the work stations to suit the worker’s size and shape, but they neglect to teach you how to sit properly! I know what you’re thinking … “shoulders back, chest out” … right? WRONG! This is where ERGO CHECK comes in … we will teach you the secret to better posture, and it’s easier than pulling your shoulders back and sticking your chest out!
ERGO CHECK offers a win-win situation to employers and employees through this education process. Employers: if your staff are sitting properly, there is usually no need for you to be spending any more money on office equipment, monitors, desks or chairs. The ones you already have are usually just fine! And when your staff are sitting properly, they are minimizing musculo-skeletal strain on their backs, necks, hips, etc. which allows them to have a greater attention span and more energy. They should actually perform better if they’re sitting properly!!! This also means they should need less time “off” for their pain management appointments (chiropractor, massage therapist, physiotherapist, etc.). This is a win-win situation! Your staff feel better and they’re more productive!
At the same time, an employee who sees that their boss cares about their well-being is apt to perform better due to a feeling of respect and appreciation. ERGO CHECK assessments and postural retraining programs confirm to your staff that you care about them and are willing to pay someone to come in and give them healthcare advice.

SIT BETTER. FEEL BETTER. LIVE BETTER.
