For Organizations

Every one of your employees is unique.

Unique in personality. Unique in skill set. Physically unique.

Michelle Wyemura Parker understands what it’s like to have unique strengths. She integrates ergonomics and healthcare together. Therefore, her approach is so much more effective than a typical “ergonomic assessment.” Her individualized process has four main components:

Communicate

Direct, candid communication with each employee. Michelle knows the right questions to ask to get honest and accurate answers regarding the “whole person.”

  • What is their typical energy level?
  • How does that energy level vary throughout the work day?
  • What other work spaces are currently available?
  • When away from work, are they typically sedentary or physically active? What is the nature of these activities? (e.g.: Walking, Gardening, Yoga, Cycling, Cooking, Martial Arts, Knitting, Hiking etc.)

With this essential background information, Michelle will begin to craft a strategy that effectively addresses each individual’s goals for increased health, comfort and efficiency.

Observe

Observing the employee at work. Michelle will watch as the employee performs physical movements which are routine (and/or not so routine) in his or her current space. She carefully examines how the employee interacts with the current office or home-office setup, equipment and layout. She analyzes how the employee’s posture varies with different tasks.

Advice

Individualized advice and treatment. This may include adjustments to the employee’s home-office space and equipment, how they interact with it, and recommendations for developing habits that eliminates discomfort and strain. Occasionally, she may recommend new or updated equipment.

Analysis/Recommendations

Written analysis, recommendations, and follow-up. Each employee - along with HR - will receive detailed analysis outlining Michelle’s observations and recommendations. Employees will be given the opportunity to provide input. When appropriate, Michelle will schedule follow-up visits to monitor the rate and effectiveness of her plan.
