August Resource of the Month
Ergo Handouts from North Carolina State University
Practical Ergonomics to Make Workplaces Safer, More Productive, and More Competitive
At Wellbeing Think Tank, we believe that ergonomics isn't just about office chairs, it’s about shaping work environments to support how people move, focus, and feel. Whether your team is behind a desk, on a manufacturing floor, or working in a lab, thoughtful workstation design can prevent discomfort and support long-term wellbeing.
This month, we’re spotlighting the Ergo Handouts collection from the North Carolina State University Ergonomics Center. These downloadable PDFs are packed with practical, evidence-based guidance to help employers and employees alike improve posture, reduce strain, and make everyday tasks safer.
Why We Love It:
The handouts are straightforward, visual, and applicable to a range of work settings. They cover topics like:
Neutral posture and workstation setup
Proper lifting techniques
Office ergonomics and chair adjustments
Pushing, pulling, and reach distances
Manufacturing, warehouse, and lab-specific considerations
Available in English (with some handouts in Spanish), these resources are ideal for teams looking to incorporate safety into their wellbeing strategies, without needing to start from scratch.
