New Hire Orientation
Do you provide your staff with the best office furniture but they are still slouching or complaining of aches and pains?
This is all too common. With the best of intentions, companies often spare no expenses to provide their staff with the best of the best, yet they do not educate them on how to use the furniture correctly.
Do you want your new hires to have the necessary knowledge on how to set up their workstation, how to reduce the risk of pain or discomfort from poor posture at work and know what resources are available to them?
If the answer is yes then development of a new hire orientation would get the new starters setup well from day 1. By starting off with the best setup possible, you are enabling your employees and giving them the opportunity to be comfortable at their desk as well as an understanding of what resources are available to them if they needed any further support around ergonomics.

FAQ
- Can this be completed as part of new hire orientation week? i.e. is it possible to arrange an evaluation for an employee as and when required
- Is this done in person or virtually?
- If the new employee completes the evaluation but has unresolved issues what should they do?
- A new employee has a specific medical condition and requires ergonomic input for their workstation, can you provide this?
Yes, we work with companies where we provide evaluations, in person or virtually when new employees start. When a small number of evaluations are required at a time or on a specific day, a virtual evaluation is a good option.
These evaluations can be done in person or virtually as agreed with you.
Each employee who completes an evaluation is followed up by us 2 weeks post. This is an opportunity to discuss any issues with an Ergonomist. If issues persist, the employee may require further support from an Ergonomist.
Yes. During the evaluation we will discuss this with the employee and determine how best to set up their workstation to meet their specific needs.
