Konekt ErgoScreen™
Konekt ErgoScreen™ is Konekt’s new online ergonomic assessment solution. For home-based and remote employees, traditional ergonomic assessment delivery methods can be slow to deliver and cost prohibitive – Konekt ErgoScreen™ allows you to provide ergonomic assessments to many more of your employees ensuring that they are working in a safe and productive environment.
Konekt ErgoScreen™ is an online self-evaluation ergonomic assessment – employees receive immediate feedback through a report and receive training and advice to ensure they are operating from a safe working environment.
When ergonomic hazards are flagged, and cannot be resolved by the employee, Konekt are able to provide support services via telephone or with an onsite assessment dependent on the hazard identified.
Activity Based Working
An increasing number of businesses are redesigning their offices in line with Activity Based Working principles. Konekt has extensive experience in delivering ergonomic services in these environments and in promoting the benefits of Activity Based Work to employees.
