Workplace wellbeing is extremely important, that may seem an obvious fact, but it is often overlooked, and without people there is no business.

Companies may think nothing of spending millions on machines and technology to improve efficiency but they don’t always consider the all important human factor.

If their employees are happy, healthy and productive, they can achieve outstanding results.

Sometimes it takes just a few minor alterations in an employee’s working environment – perhaps changing the angle at which they work or moving their equipment – to make them feel more comfortable, can have a big impact on their output.

The services offered by Healthywork result in both business and health and safety benefits to employers, employees and other stakeholders in the workplace environment.

By using preventative measures and a consistently well-managed approach to workplace wellbeing and ill health at work, significant reductions in Insurance premiums, both for Employers’ Liability Insurance and Private Health Insurance, can be made.

The HSE report indicated that employee workplace injury and illness cost British employers an estimated 14.3 billion during 2013-2014.

Survey feedback following a DSE Assessment

Well worth having a trained professional actually observe you at your workspace as small adjustments can improve comfort and health.

I found today’s assessment very helpful indeed, and am trying my best to keep my keyboard as close to me as possible – makes a big difference when I do, it’s even increased my speed and accuracy, lol.

Also, and more to the point, the pain in my back hasn’t got any worse today, and I haven’t used the wrist support, so having my arms supported (on arm rests) is clearly doing something for them already.

Our visit from Alison was an eye-opener. We thought that we knew what we were doing but every single team member learned something new. We learned how to use our equipment properly, we learned how to sit properly and we have all made adjustments to how we work since her visit. Everyone in the team has given feedback since that they are more comfortable in their daily work, and one person who has been in pain for months has changed her position and is now pain-free. Alison is friendly, easy to work with and great value for money. As manager, I thought that I would have to invest in a lot of new equipment but the reality is simply that we weren’t using what we had properly. I would definitely use Alison again and will write a workstation assessment into our on-boarding process for any new employees joining our team.

An Ergonomic Assessment provided by Healthywork was well worth the money. The chair has been set up correctly, and is now more comfortable for the user and we have purchased the desktop equipment they suggested and this along with correct layout and improved positioning has really helped towards resolving the discomfort experienced.

Alison provided workstation assessments and advice during our relocation. Although we are a small organisation it was important to obtain professional and expert help and I would recommend Alison to others without hesitation. (Workstation Risk Assessments and Ergonomic Assessments 2012)
