Ergonomic Assessments
Group Ergonomic Assessments
Booking a group ergonomic assessment is ideal for companies who have recently moved into a new office space or have a number of employees who have not previously had an ergonomic assessment.
An occupational therapist will conduct a 20-minute assessment at each individual’s workspace, making adjustments along the way to enhance the employee’s overall comfort and well-being.
Post-assessment, each employee will receive an individualized 12-point checklist detailing the changes made to their set up and any equipment recommendations that will further enhance the comfort and usability of their workspace.
A copy of this can also be provided to HR, the office manager or individual booking the assessment to ensure there is an understanding of how the recommended equipment would benefit the employee and approximate costs associated with ordering the equipment.
Cost: $125.00 per person when booked for a minimum of 3 employees at a time

Advanced Ergonomic Assessments
Booking an advanced ergonomic assessment is ideal for employees with pre-existing concerns such as neck and shoulder pain, low back pain, wrist strain or headaches, that are exacerbated by their workplace set up.
Perhaps you or the employee notice that discomfort increases from sitting at one's desk for prolonged periods or that as the work day goes on, tension builds.
An occupational therapist can come to your workplace to help get to the root of the employee's discomfort and offer changes day of to enhance the employee's comfort, as well as, provide a report that includes: before and after photos, measurements of the workplace set up, equipment recommendations, and recommended stretches and community referrals if needed.
This option is often preferred by employers or adjusters looking to get a more in-depth understanding of how the employee's ergonomic set-up is impacting their overall well-being and ability to work.
Advanced assessments can be booked individually or as part of a group ergonomic assessment. If wanting to add an Advanced Ergonomic Assessment to a group booking, please click here.
