Growing emphasis on employee wellbeing, hybrid work and workplace productivity drives adoption of structured ergonomics programmes
Humanscale Consulting, the workplace ergonomics advisory division of New York-headquartered Humanscale, has reported increased demand for its ergonomics consulting services in India as organisations place greater emphasis on employee wellbeing, productivity and workplace performance.
Operated in India by Humanscale’s authorised distribution partner, S Cube Ergonomics Pvt Ltd, the consulting division is seeing growing interest from corporate leaders, HR professionals, EHS consultants, facilities managers, project managers, architects and workplace designers seeking solutions to address workplace health challenges.
Shift Towards Preventive Ergonomics
According to industry experts, poor workplace ergonomics can contribute to neck and shoulder pain, wrist strain, fatigue, reduced circulation, lower productivity, higher absenteeism and increased healthcare costs.
As a result, businesses are increasingly adopting preventive ergonomics strategies instead of relying on corrective interventions after health issues arise.
Range of Consulting Services
Humanscale Consulting offers a portfolio of services that includes:
- Ergonomics training and certification
- Onsite and virtual ergonomic assessments
- Ergonomics programme development and management
- Work-from-home ergonomics consulting
- Workplace design advisory services
The company stated that its programmes combine global expertise with evidence-based methodologies to help organisations develop structured ergonomics initiatives.
COEE Certification Programme
Commenting on the growing demand, Sathish Nandagopal, Founder & Director, S Cube Ergonomics Pvt Ltd, said:
“India’s first-ever Humanscale Consulting Office Ergonomics Certification Program was conducted by us in December 2025 at Humanscale’s Exclusive Showroom and Ergonomics Experience Centre located in Bengaluru. Following its success, we have already announced the second session of the COEE (Certified Office Ergonomics Evaluator) Program, planned for the upcoming quarter in 2026.”
He added:
“Developed by Humanscale’s team of globally certified ergonomists, the COEE Program equips participants with practical skills to carry out comprehensive ergonomic evaluations for employees working in corporate offices or from home.”
On the importance of ergonomics, Nandagopal further stated:
“Today’s workplace requires a holistic approach that integrates workstation design, employee education, posture, movement and behavioural change. Organisations that invest proactively in ergonomics are better positioned to create healthier and more resilient workforces.”
Growing Focus on Workplace Wellbeing
The company noted that India’s workplaces are continuing to evolve with the expansion of hybrid work models and greater attention on employee wellbeing and workplace experience.
Humanscale Consulting believes there is increasing demand for structured, expert-led ergonomic programmes that focus on prevention, helping organisations build healthier, more productive and sustainable work environments.
