Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler recently discussed importance of ergonomics at home as more people resign from the workforce in the October issue of Manufacturing Outlook magazine. Read the full article here.
According to Cutler, one in seven American workers plan to resign before the end of the year, dubbed the great resignation, the issues of occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental health and safety (EHS) have moved into the homes of employees, consultants, and remote workers.
Many former and potential employees fear returning to an unsafe workplace. Working from home may have both physical and psychological impacts. According to an Adobe study, the exodus is being driven by Millennials and Generation Z, who are more likely to be dissatisfied with their work. More than half of Gen Z reported planning to seek a new job within the next year.
For decades ergonomists evaluated the reach, bending, placement of products, assembly, and packaging. Now the question of safety is transformed to monitor height, keyboards which avoid carpel tunnel, and seating which manage lumbar support.
