Abstract: This study examines employees' knowledge of ergonomics, the science of designing a workplace that helps people work comfortably and efficiently. It focuses on their awareness, training, and overall well-being at work. Researchers surveyed any training involving 106 employees from different job roles to gather insights. The survey explored●How many employees know about ergonomics in the workplace●Whether they have access to ergonomic resources (like adjustable desks, chairs, or training)●How workplace well-being connects to productivityThe results revealed some critical gaps. Many employees lacked proper ergonomic training, and some companies did not have clear policies on workplace ergonomics. Additionally, while employees were interested in improving their work environment, they often did not have the necessary knowledge or resources.These findings emphasize the need for better ergonomic education and workplace improvements. By addressing these issues, companies can create healthier work environments that enhance employee well-being and productivity.
