Yes. Our virtual ergonomic evaluations are specifically designed for remote and hybrid employees, wherever they are located. We assess home office and workplace setups via video, provide a written report, and can recommend ergonomic products sourced locally or shipped to the employee's location worldwide.
What is included in a workstation ergonomic evaluation?
Our evaluations cover monitor positioning, keyboard and mouse setup, chair configuration, desk height, lighting, and workflow habits. You receive a written report with prioritized recommendations and specific product suggestions matched to your needs and budget. Each evaluation also includes our complimentary Stretch Break Card — a guide to desk stretches and movement breaks — and our Workstation Reminder Card, a quick-reference guide for maintaining proper ergonomic setup throughout the workday.
How long does an ergonomic evaluation take?
Individual workstation evaluations typically take 45–60 minutes with the employee + report preparation. Team or multi-station assessments are scoped based on the number of workstations. Virtual evaluations follow the same process and take approximately the same amount of time.
Can you help recommend ergonomic chairs and equipment?
Absolutely. We specialize in ergonomic furniture and accessories including chairs, keyboards, mice, monitor arms, sit/stand desks, and workstation accessories. Our Palo Alto showroom is available by appointment for hands-on product demonstrations and chair fittings.
What types of organizations do you work with?

Is your showroom open to the public?

How is Ergo Works different from buying ergonomic furniture online?
Purchasing ergonomic equipment without a professional assessment often results in products that don't fit the user's body or work habits. AskErgoWorks provides a clinical assessment first, then recommends and sources the right products — ensuring every solution is matched to the individual.
How do I get started?
The easiest way to get started is to contact us to schedule a consultation. We'll discuss your needs, confirm service availability in your location, and recommend the right assessment or program for your team.
