Are you sitting comfortably? - August TWBM article

As featured in this month’s Tunbridge Wells Business magazine:

With the continued popularity and rise in remote working over the last five years, employers have a responsibility to ensure that their staff have access to a suitable workstation and seating, usually at home. Furthermore, similar to working from the office, employers must be able to offer workstation ergonomic assessments to staff who work remotely.

Did you know, in the UK, employees can make a claim for poor workstation setups that cause injury or ill health, provided the employer is deemed negligent in providing a safe working environment?

This is why we at Forrest Group, have partnered with Humanscale, a global award-winning, leading designer and manufacturer of ergonomic products that improve the health and comfort of work life.

As part of our partnership, we are now able to offer our Clients, in person and virtual ergonomic assessments to help review, monitor, manage and improve workplace ergonomics. And if your business would like to bring these assessments in-house, we can provide interactive certification programs and program development workshops to up skill your existing team, enabling them to lead the ergonomics assessments.

If following the assessments, revised workstation equipment was required, we can take care of that also.
