If you have intensive computer use employees like programmers or others typing at a keyboard all day there are a few things you can do, probably for well under $900.
Make sure they have a good chair ($185-$450), good and well-positioned monitor ($185 to $624 for a 19" to 24" flat screen) and that these along with their keyboard are at the right position (Free to $200 for a consultation and remedial labor). You can add a monitor arm for between $185 and $300 so that they can position comfortably and change frequently as required for different task. Total ranges from $755 to $1574. The solutions will last for at least five years. Saving an average of at least $4500 for a $52,000 per year employee and a lot more for most.
To do something for free, check out the OSHA website for ergonomic positioning and pass along to your employees. Though free, this simple action may save your business a large amount.
