Deborah Read: Transforming Home Offices
In light of recent global events, our content continues to reflect only the most-relevant topics. Deborah Read is an accomplished entrepreneur, distinguished speaker at national and international conferences and an authority on workplace ergonomics - the science of fitting the job or task to the physical and mental capabilities of the worker. Applying ergonomics principles can reduce injuries and improve productivity and quality of work.
In an era where most people are now working from home, this has suddenly become a hot topic. As the Founder of Seattle based “ErgoFit Consulting”, and with a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy and a wealth of experience spanning two decades, Deborah is uniquely positioned to discuss ergonomics in the post Covid-19 world.
In this insightful conversation, she discusses the importance of considering ergonomics when designing strategies and policies that impact employee wellness, while moving towards best practices such as ‘prevention through design’.
