I Feel Good! (I knew that you would!) - Wed 9/12/18 Luncheon

Registration Deadline: Sunday, 9/9/18 at 11:59 PM

What You’ll Learn:

The science behind ergonomics and discover the top environmental factors you control that can change the way feel and think at work. Did you know that relationship experts have revealed that the Facilities Team supports social interaction at work through proper ergonomics? Many people look at ergonomics as a field that focuses on the physical aspects of anthropometrics, postures, and injuries. There is more to it than just the physical nature of humans - we need to also consider the social and cognitive aspects that need to be involved in design for the workforce. We’ll will walk you through these aspects of ergonomics and point to research that highlights the importance of considering each when looking at workplace design. These same principles can be applied to all settings.

How you can help: Submit your ergonomic questions for our speaker to Lisa Chappell at lisac@missionfed.com in advance of our meeting.

Who you will meet: Others in the FM industry who are interested in ergonomics and what to support a healthy work environment.
