The material explains ergonomics as the interface between worker physiology and workplace characteristics, and describes ergonomic interventions such as redesigning equipment, adjusting technology like keyboard height to prevent occupational illnesses, and optimizing chair and desk design to support posture requirements. Evidence highlights that involving employees in ergonomic redesign can reduce injury severity and cumulative trauma disorders, shorten lost production time, and limit restricted-duty days.","54  \nability to offer greater flexibility to employees who are disabled or need to be available for children or elderly relatives. The employees using telework arrangement may have fewer absences from work than employees with similar demands who must commute to work. Telecommuting can also support a strategy of corporate social responsibility because these employees do not produce the greenhouse gas emissions that result from commuting by car. Telework is easiest to implement for people in managerial, professional, or sales jobs, especially those that involve working and communicating on a computer. A telework arrangement is generally difficult to set up for manufacturing workers.  \nAccording to research, productivity was higher among the workers who chose to work at home, presumably because they had fewer distractions but also because they tended to use some of the time saved on commuting to work longer hours.  \nHowever, no interpersonal communication can damage company culture. That absence of social interaction between employees can leave them disconnected from each other. Teleworking frequently could lead to a decreased loyalty or engagement to the company itself.  \n3.3. Designing Ergonomic Jobs  \nThe way people use their bodies when they work—whether toting heavy furniture onto a moving van or sitting quietly before a computer screen—affects their physical well-being and may affect how well and how long they can work. The study of the interface between individuals’ physiology and the characteristics of the physical work environment is called ergonomics.  \nThe goal of ergonomics is to minimize physical strain on the worker by structuring the physical work environment around the way the human body works. Ergonomic job design has been applied in redesigning equipment used in jobs that are physically demanding. Such redesign is often aimed at reducing the physical demands of certain jobs so that anyone can perform them. In addition, many interventions focus on redesigning machines and technology—for instance, adjusting the height of a computer keyboard to minimize occupational illnesses, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The design of chairs and desks to fit posture requirements is very important in many office jobs. One study found that having employees participate inan ergonomic redesign effort significantly reduced the number and severity of cumulative trauma disorders (injuries that result from performing the same movement over and over), lost production time, and restricted-duty days.  \n3.4. Designing Jobs That Meet Mental Capabilities and Limitations  \nJust as the human body has capabilities and limitations, addressed by ergonomics, the mind, too, has capabilities and limitations. Besides hiring people with certain mental skills, organizations can design jobs so that they can be accurately and safely performed given the way the brain processes information. Generally, this means reducing the information-processing requirements of a job. In these simpler jobs, workers may be less likely to make mistakes or have accidents. Of course, the simpler jobs also may be less motivating.  \nability to offer greater flexibility to employees who are disabled or need to be  \nاﻟﻘﺪرة ﻋﻠﻰ ﺗﻘﺪﯾﻢ ﻣﺮوﻧﺔ أﻛﺒﺮ ﻟﻠﻤﻮﻇﻔﯿﻦ اﻟﻤﻌﺎﻗﯿﻦ أو اﻟﺬﯾﻦ ﯾﺤﺘﺎﺟﻮن إﻟﻰ ذﻟﻚ  \navailable for children or elderly relatives.
