Risk is everywhere!
Proceed with caution...

Desk chairs, keyboards, and electrical outlets. These are only 3 of the countless hazards that surround the common workplace

When you were given your first bicycle, your mother said to wear a helmet. After you received your first car, your father told you to wear a seatbelt. Now, you have your very own employees. It is time to take note.

Most wouldn’t bet their company’s budget with potentially dangerous labor conditions. Unfortunately, many business owners are mistaken on what qualifies as “potentially dangerous.” When you roll the dice on your employees’ risk of getting injured on the clock, you are also gambling with your organization’s financial livelihood. Taking the small amount of time to assess your surroundings could shed light on some major hazards that threaten the very foundation your business is built upon.

Beware:
The workstation bandit

“Every little bit counts.” We have all heard it before, but some of us took longer than others to really grasp the concept.

What is the difference between embezzlement and workers compensation? One can be controlled.

Don’t get caught
in this domino effect!

“If A occurred, then B occurred, A must have caused B” is a popular misunderstanding among problem-solvers all over the world.

The most widespread wives’ tales regarding ergonomics include the big idea that an office is better for a human’s health than a warehouse. Although the digital revolution is a wonderful thing, it has allowed our efforts to be carried out in a stationary, sedentary fashion. With the computer-desk-chair setup, it is important to understand the design of each of these elements. This is why Task Group combines products with methods when sharing ergonomic expertise.

Keep your head
above ground!

With all this “Ignorance is bliss” advice, one thing needs to be clarified: none of these apply to ergonomics.

Security for your employees and your firm’s finances must be an area that is understood and dealt with if you want to maintain a well-organized, well-respected brand.

Neglected office conditions can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, and arthritis. All three lead to musculoskeletal disorders.

Our technology and research allows us to develop strategies providing clients with services including ergonomics training and certifications specifically tailored to meet each workspace’s demands.

Cut out extra time
Add in an extra brain!

A worker’s hourly wage is the price at which his or her rate of productivity is valued.

Is the investment you make on your employees having high returns? The minutes spent waiting on the document shredder will become hours during the year. Small adjustments such as moving the copier closer can reap great rewards on the productivity scale.

With TGI ROI calculator, you can see how much you’d save by eliminating unproductive time throughout the work day. For example, with 20 employees receiving $40,000 a year a 2-minute gain leaves you with an extra $25,000+ a year. How much could cutting out 5 minutes save you? Perhaps you could afford a whole new employee. We can help you do that.
