Description
When COVID-19 hit, their existing ergonomics program was focused on the office and like so many companies, the overnight shift from working in the office to working from home caught them off-guard and unprepared. Suddenly, employees were working on their beds, coffee tables, dresser tops, in closets, on yoga mats, couches and many other makeshift options. With the support of leadership, and through their partnership with Performance Based Ergonomics, Twitch quickly mobilized and launched a global ergonomics program to help employees transition. In less than a year, all employees were provided with ergonomic education and over 2/3's of employees received virtual ergonomics help, with a 98% satisfaction rate and no disruption to business. This case study will present the successes, challenges and lessons learned, serving as a blueprint to navigate the future of the workplace which will include working in the office, WFH and the ermerging hybrid work model that is taking hold.
