Your Central Hub for Ergonomic Learning
Ergonomics is most effective when employees and leaders understand how posture, movement, equipment, and habits work together.
Our education center brings together foundational concepts and specialized guidance to help organizations reduce discomfort, prevent injuries, and support long-term employee well-being.
Ergo Putty
Learn targeted hand and wrist exercises that support fine-motor endurance, reduce fatigue, and improve circulation. Ideal for teams who perform repetitive or precision-based tasks every day.

How to adjust your Chair and Keyboard
In this video, you’ll learn how to position your chair, align your keyboard, and maintain a neutral posture that supports your body throughout the workday. When your feet are flat on the floor, your back is supported, and your wrists stay aligned with your forearms, you reduce strain on your neck, shoulders, and hands.
