Presentation
ErgoX: Everybody’s Ergonomics Problem: The Office
DescriptionAs new ways of working are emerging among knowledge and computer workers, understanding the HFE implications for designing new technologies, workplaces, and work styles is essential. Applying HFE design principles to create new workplace strategies, hybrid work arrangements, and computer technologies benefits workers' health, safety, well-being, and performance. This panel presentation will discuss the importance and benefits of incorporating a human factors and ergonomics approach from both the micro- (individual workers and technology design) and macro- (team, organizational, and workspace environmental design) perspectives to effectively support and protect workers’ well-being and to enhance their performance. A systems approach model will first be presented to frame the HFE context around office ergonomics. Next, a discussion will address designing collaborative workspaces and best practices to support hybrid work. Lastly, a focus on mouse design technology and its effects on workers’ well-being will be presented. A concluding summary and takeaways will be given regarding the benefits of using HFE principles in office ergonomics.
