SOAS – University of London

SOAS has been a client of Ergo at Work for the past six years. During this time, our staff have commented on the quality of specialist expertise of the physiotherapists and their practical way of handling situations. We have found the staff to be approachable, professional and provide a prompt service. This has had an instant result in terms of improvement which has supported the staff on their way to recovery.

Brenda Lett Human Resources Manager

London Institute of Education

We have used Ergo at Work for many specialist assessments over the past three years; the results have made a real impact across the Institute and enabled us to ensure we are offering the correct support and equipment for our employees. Staff who have been assessed are extremely positive about the experience and the process has helped us to ensure that disabled staff receive the correct adjustments and equipment they need. The assessments also enable us to ensure that other individuals may be able to avoid longer term problems by using the correct recommended equipment.The assessments and reports have always been done within a short timescale and all the physios have been extremely helpful and supportive.

I am very pleased with the dealings we have had with Ergo at Work and I will continue to use and recommend their services.

Katie Edwards Equalities Officer

Framestore-cfc

We have been a customer of Ergo at Work for several years now and have come to greatly rely on both their excellent friendly approach and their expertise in solving our work related health issues.

We have recommended many of our staff for treatment and are consistently pleased with the speed of service and the results that our staff report.

As well as treating our staff for a variety of work related issues, Ergo at Work have also trained us to undertake a certain amount of ergonomic workstation assessments ourselves and will also make the trip to visit our staff at their desks to undertake a more thorough assessment if required. These additional services for us make the company a real all round solution for an industry that heavily suffers from work related problems such as RSI and muscle stresses and strains.

Ergo at Work have been providing ergonomic workstation assessments for the New York Times for the past year. I would highly recommend Ergo at Work to any employer looking for thorough ergonomic workstation assessments that not only ‘tick the boxes’ for compliance with the DSE regulations but also offer extra advice and training on optimal workstation set-up and work behaviours to enhance comfort and productivity.

Angela Seed General Manager

L.E.K Consulting

We have been using the services of Bronwyn and Ergo at Work for a number of years now. We have found them to be prompt with their response times, discrete when carrying out the assessments in a busy office and informative with their reports. The recommendations are realistic and user friendly, often utilising existing equipment after adjustments! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bronwyn and her colleagues to any company or individual.

We have used the ergonomic services of the Ergo at Work team since September 2005. They are always able to organise a workplace appointment quickly at a time that is convenient to our business. The service provided is professional and comprehensive. A detailed report is produced with practical recommendations. An assessment by Ergo at Work shows the business is focussed on the employee’s health and safety and allows the company to provide the correct equipment for their well being.

We have used the services of Physio at Work and Ergo at Work for over 10 years. Their therapists combine expert hand-on treatment, self-help advice and ergonomics input. Their advice to us, both in the form of formal reports and quick chats over the phone, has been invaluable in managing our staff through episodes of pain at work.

Dear Bronwyn,

I would just like to thank you and Emma for the great service we received. Emma did a very good job and made some suggestions which really helped.

Chevron Ltd

Ergo at Work has provided Chevron with high standard ergonomic specialists to accommodate our varying work demand. Preventive and reactive workstation evaluations have been provided to employees & contractors in both our London and Swindon office environments as well as remotely to employees in our European offices. Our customer feedback surveys regarding the ergonomic services have all been extremely positive. As a result of their service the number of high risk employees has reduced significantly.

I feel confident in recommending the services of Ergo at Work to organisations that realise that a professional quality service will be provided. This will ensure that the required result of preventing injuries is achieved.

Sue Hill Recruitment Ltd

Since you and your team came to our offices and reviewed the seating and posture of each of the workers as part of your ergonomic workstation assessments we have all noted a difference. We have all benefited. One person in particular no longer has persistent neck and upper arm pain which we are sure is due to the revised layout of her work station set up. I have been pleased to note that team members are much more conscious of their seating posture and encourage each other to sit correctly. I would certainly recommend your service. It does make a difference.
