RESULT
After the Ergocoach VDU course, you can advise and coach colleagues on:
- physical strain during VDU work
- the risks and their consequences
- how it can be positively influenced by posture, exercise habits, behavior and workplace optimization.
You can analyze work behavior and working conditions in a practical and efficient way. This allows you to give good advice about healthy work habits, work organization and the use of aids.
COURSE PROGRAM
The Ergocoach / Office Workplace Consultant course consists of a mix of theory, demonstrations, discussions, practical simulations and exercises.
Ergocoaches must first of all be able to analyse various forms of work behaviour in a practical and efficient manner. Subsequently, they are expected to provide expert advice on how to deal with physical load, healthy working habits and the use of aids. We pay a lot of attention to communication skills, so that the ergo coach can transfer knowledge and insight to colleagues and, where necessary, also know how to motivate them to change their behavior.
