Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during an ergonomic evaluation?
A trained ergonomic specialist visits your worksite or connects virtually to assess workstation setup, seating, monitor height, keyboard and mouse placement, lighting, and workflow. Employees receive recommendations for workstation adjustments and, when appropriate, ergonomic equipment solutions.
How long does an ergonomic evaluation take?
Individual evaluations typically take 30–60 minutes per employee. Group assessments are scheduled based on team size and can often be completed during a half-day or full-day visit.
Do you offer virtual ergonomic evaluations?
Yes. We offer virtual ergonomic assessments for remote and hybrid employees. Virtual evaluations include workstation review, recommendations, and product guidance.
What areas of the Bay Area do you serve?
We serve the entire San Francisco Bay Area, including Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose, Fremont, Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, and surrounding communities. We also provide virtual ergonomic evaluations nationwide.
Can ergonomic evaluations help employees experiencing lower back pain, neck discomfort, or repetitive strain concerns?
Yes. Ergonomic evaluations help identify workstation factors that may contribute to discomfort, fatigue, and reduced productivity. Recommendations focus on improving workstation setup, seating, work habits, positioning, and equipment selection to better support employee comfort and workplace performance.
Can ergonomic evaluations support employees returning to work after an injury or medical leave?
Yes. We frequently work with employees, supervisors, HR teams, and occupational health departments to evaluate workstations and recommend ergonomic improvements that support employee comfort, workplace accommodations, and successful return-to-work efforts.
How is Ergo Works different from a general office furniture vendor?
Ergo Works is a full-service ergonomics provider offering consulting, ergonomic equipment and furniture, and professional installation services. Unlike traditional office furniture vendors, our recommendations are based on each employee's individual needs, body dimensions, work tasks, and workplace requirements—not simply on a standard furniture package.
Our process begins with an ergonomic evaluation to understand the employee, their work environment, and any comfort or productivity challenges. We then recommend and implement solutions that may include workstation adjustments, ergonomic training, seating, sit-stand workstations, accessories, or specialized equipment.
Because we combine consulting, product expertise, and installation services, clients receive a complete solution focused on improving comfort, reducing workplace risk factors, supporting employee well-being, and enhancing productivity.
How is Ergo Works different from a corporate wellness provider?
Corporate wellness programs often focus on general employee health initiatives. Ergo Works specializes in workplace ergonomics, providing detailed workstation evaluations, chair fittings, equipment recommendations, laboratory ergonomics expertise, and implementation support. Our goal is to create work environments that improve comfort, support productivity, and address the specific ergonomic demands of each employee and workplace.
Do you work with biotech and laboratory environments?
Yes. We have extensive experience evaluating laboratory workstations, including microscope stations, pipetting setups, cleanroom environments, and standing laboratory benches. Laboratory ergonomics requires specialized expertise, and our team has significant experience supporting research and scientific organizations.
Can you help with ADA accommodations and return-to-work programs?
Yes. We work with HR teams, occupational health departments, supervisors, and employees to support workplace accommodation efforts and return-to-work initiatives. Written reports and recommendations are available when requested.
