Shortage of labor being greatly felt in most industries, many of our clients decide to go for automation to save time but also to reduce work pressure on their current employees. We cannot deny the fact that the greater the need for manpower, the more employees have to fill this gap by working harder.

ERGONOMICS AT WORK, WHY GO WHITHOUT!
The well-being of your employees at work is a critical issue for most companies: among other things, it motivates employees to perform their tasks as well as possible. In times of labor shortage, it becomes even more important to take care of your employees in order to keep them for a long time. With few employees in the job market and multiple offers, they can afford to raise their expectations. This is why working conditions are becoming primordial, and why employers are trying to differenciate themselves from each other. It is possible to improve these conditions in several ways, starting with adapting the various workstations to make them ergonomic and safe.
