Ergonomic Training Workshop

Service description

1. 01

   Who this workshop is for

   This workshop is designed for office-based staff who use workstations daily, and for the managers responsible for supporting their wellbeing. It is relevant whether your office has recently been refurnished, is about to be, or has been in place for some time without any formal ergonomic guidance for the people using it.

   We deliver exclusively to business clients, which means the content is calibrated to the pressures of a working office environment — not a generic health-and-safety checklist. Participants leave with practical habits they can apply immediately, and managers leave with a clear understanding of how to support those habits over time.

2. 02

   What the workshop covers

   The half-day session runs for four hours and accommodates up to twenty-five participants. We cover workstation self-adjustment, posture and movement principles, recognition of early discomfort signals, and how to escalate concerns through your internal channels. All content is evidence-based and delivered without jargon, so it is accessible to staff regardless of their prior knowledge.

   The self-adjustment session is conducted using your actual furniture — chairs, desks, monitors, and any height-adjustable equipment on your floor. This makes the learning immediately applicable rather than theoretical. Each participant also receives a printed A5 reference card to keep at their workstation after the session.

3. 03

   The manager briefing

   Alongside the main workshop, managers receive a dedicated thirty-minute briefing on how to support ergonomic habits within their teams. This covers how to respond when a team member raises a concern, what to look for during day-to-day observation, and how to create an environment where discomfort is reported early rather than tolerated.

   This briefing is included in the standard session fee and is structured separately from the main workshop so that managers can engage with the content at the level of their specific responsibilities. The goal is that ergonomic awareness does not end when the workshop does — it becomes part of how the team is managed day to day.

   Seated and standing workstations

   The workshop addresses both seated and standing workstation postures. For organisations with height-adjustable desks, the self-adjustment session covers how to set desk height correctly for both positions, how to transition between them effectively, and how to avoid the common errors that make standing desks less beneficial than they should be.

   Participants who work primarily at seated desks receive the same depth of attention. We cover chair adjustment in full — seat height, lumbar support, armrest position, and seat depth — as well as monitor placement, keyboard and pointing-device positioning, and the role of movement breaks in managing postural load across the working day.

   Delivery options and additional groups

   The standard workshop is delivered on-site in a half-day format. For organisations that need to reach more than twenty-five staff in a single day, a second group can be accommodated at a reduced rate for the additional session. Both groups receive the same content, the same reference cards, and the same manager briefing.

   Virtual delivery is also available, covering all the same content with guided self-assessment exercises replacing the hands-on furniture adjustment session. Recordings of any session are permitted for internal use only, subject to participant consent, and may not be shared externally or used for commercial purposes. Custom content modules can be developed for organisations with specific requirements.

6. 06

   Preparing for the session

   To get the most from the workshop, we ask that participants attend at or near their own workstations where possible, so the self-adjustment session can be conducted in the actual conditions they work in each day. If that is not logistically possible, we will work with whatever arrangement your space allows and adapt accordingly.

   Before the session, it is helpful to let us know whether your office includes height-adjustable desks, any specialist equipment, or staff with known physical requirements that the content should accommodate. The more we understand about your setup in advance, the more precisely we can tailor the practical elements of the day to the people in the room.
