Prioritizing ​ergonomics in ​business.

Well established in ​Whitehorse, Yukon for a few ​years, I offer personalized and ​high-quality ergonomics ​services for businesses to ​improve the daily well-being ​at work for each of your ​employees. Offering this ​service from the moment you ​hire is even more of a winning ​recipe; we ensure that the ​workstation is well adapted ​and meets ergonomic criteria ​and thus prevent the onset of ​musculoskeletal disorders in ​the long term.

My Services

Ergonomic Services for ​Business

• A day dedicated to ergonomic visits.
• The appointment schedule makes it easy for each ​employee to book an ideal time to receive an ergonomic ​assessment. Each employee is allocated a 45-minute ​appointment.
  
• The previously completed ergonomic questionnaire allows ​you to optimize the meeting and focus on the employee's ​needs and possible adjustments.
  
• Each assessment is personalized including: observation of ​the workstation in action, adjustments and modifications ​of the workstation to optimize posture, education on ​ergonomic principles, and short and long term ​recommendations. Sometimes the purchase of additional ​equipment is necessary and recommended.
  
• After the meeting, the individual summary report allows for ​the monitoring of short- and long-term recommendations ​by management.
  
• Follow-up visit available if needed, if major changes to the ​workstation are required.
  

Individual Consultation

Available on request, in the context of ​prevention or pain related to the ​workstation. This is sometimes a ​recommendation made by the doctor or ​by insurance

Training on Ergonomic ​Principles

• "Do-it-yourself" adjustments and workstation ​modifications
  
• Additional ergonomic options
  
• Sit-stand stations
  
• Good habits to adopt
  

Training available on request.

My Story

It all started with the Franco-Yukonnaise Association who approached me in 2017 to offer an ​ergonomic assessment service to their staff members as a workplace health and safety strategy. ​Specializing in pediatrics since leaving university as an occupational therapist, I had no experience ​in ergonomics other than a great interest in deepening my knowledge in a new field and seizing this ​opportunity. Since 2019, I have developed a service focused on prevention and education. I adopt a ​preventive approach where I am able to see all the people employed in the same company, rather ​than a few individuals. I like this approach which takes care of a company as a whole and educates ​people to work on screen in an optimal posture.

I feel proud when I learn that my name as an occupational therapist is making its way from ​one person to another, and from one company to another. I am very happy to be able to ​make a difference in people's lives and, above all, to see how the prevention of ​musculoskeletal disorders has become a priority for businesses.
