Ergonomics | Probodyone Method

The first step consists of an audit to evaluate the needs of your company, in coordination with managers and human resources directors. These professionals in the sector have made the observation that the consequences of many problems caused by employee discomfort at work are manifested in:

1. Absenteeism (72%).
2. Problems with peers (59%).
3. Increase in conflicts with superiors (50%).

They consider that tension at work is due to:

1. Incorrect stress management (70%).
2. The organization of work procedures (52%).
3. Musculoskeletal disorders (40%).

It seems that the main obstacle to preventing employee discomfort is found in:

1. The difficulty of making a diagnosis of the situation.
2. The lack of expertise or a specific service within the company.
3. Insufficient knowledge regarding alternative or complementary solutions for prevention, as well as the difficulty of choosing between the courses offered.

On the other hand, few companies have the relevant information and analysis on the well-being of their employees. In 85% of cases, they work with data offered by medical services linked to their work sector. This very pertinent information about the employee’s pathology and illness in relation to his work does not give any indication or evaluation of the degree of his well-being or discomfort. However, the vast majority of workers (83%) are willing to make sacrifices for their company, as long as their bosses show them some consideration by taking care of their well-being. If they feel better and more considered, collaborators and employees are more productive, so this line of action has a positive impact on everyone.
