Storytelling and real-life examples – the participant learns about realistic situations from everyday sitting and standing work, which allows for a better understanding of the impact of ergonomics on health.
Interactive exercises and self-analysis – users independently diagnose their workplace and receive tips tailored to their situation (e.g. sitting or standing).
Microlearning – content has been divided into short, accessible modules that can be completed at any time, without burdening the user.
Illustrations and animations – showing correct and incorrect body positions, equipment setup and the impact of their organization on the spine and muscles.
Expert Commentary – in selected parts of the training, participants can read the comments and tips of Prof. Robert Gasik, MD, PhD, a recognized specialist in orthopedics and occupational ergonomics.
Course map and flexible path – ability to choose a thematic path (seated or standing work) and freely navigate the content.
Final Test and Action Plan – At the end, participants test their knowledge and receive recommendations for changes they can make in their workplace.
