Ergonomics & Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I): They’re One and the Same

As investor demand for environmental, social and governance (ESG) information rises, organizations expect business leaders to develop a strategic approach to corporate sustainability and integrate ESG risk management into their financial and operational models. This includes improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace.

So, how does ergonomics relate to DE&I? Well, ergonomics is defined as “designing the workplace to match human performance capabilities for the general working population.” A diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DE&I) workplace makes all workers feel a sense of belonging and that they have the support of organization leaders. The connection between ergonomics and DEI is this: Ergonomics designs for both males and females; people of all generations, shapes and sizes, and people of different races, ethnicities, and cultures. As ergonomics professionals, we have failed to educate business leaders on this connection.

Participants learned:

• the connection between ergonomics and DE&I
• how ergonomics can accommodate all genders, ages, fitness levels, capabilities, generations, races, ethnicities, cultures, among others in the workplace will be discussed
