Sign up your department to get FREE ergonomic assessments!


Your posture at your desk can have a profound effect on day-to-day body functioning and can lead to chronic health issues like repetitive muscle strain or other preventable health risks if not corrected. Ergonomic assessments are done to reduce a worker's exposure to physical hazards such as uncomfortable postures, repetitive tasks, and straining on the body.

The UND Physical Therapy students are looking to provide FREE ergonomic assessments to Faculty and Staff here on campus. This partnership between Work Well and Physical Therapy exists to increase experiential learning for students. As a participant, you will learn about desk and monitor positioning, seat height, wrist position, phone location, and much more!

Ergonomic assessments are available to all UND Faculty and Staff, not limited to desk and office jobs.

Send an email to Schawnn Decker (schawnn.decker@med.und.edu) for more information and to sign up your department!

Our mission is to advocate for a culture of wellness for UND faculty and staff through innovative engagement opportunities. UND.edu/workwell | 701.777.0210
