NKU Wellness

A healthy workstation

What is ergonomics?

Ergonomics is about fitting work to people with the goal of maximizing workstation comfort and minimizing health risks.

Our goal is to provide training and education to NKU employees on ergonomic principles and to implement practical, cost effective solutions to identified issues. With this in mind, the Wellness Center will serve as a showplace on NKU's campus to provide employees with an opportunity to view and experience ergonomically correct work stations and to try a variety of healthy work site products supplied by several ergonomic furniture vendors.

Our "try before you buy" program will help you decide what products will work best for you.
There are also many ways to improve your workstation that require no financial investment.

  • Simply rearranging and/or reorganizing of existing furniture, equipment or space can provide a more comfortable and safe work environment.

Call us to schedule a workstation assessment. A trained ergonomy professional and a member of the Wellness Team will come to your workstation to provide recommendations and to help you implement cost-effective solutions.
