“…Participants were invited to use these case descriptions to reflect on what their role would be in similar situations. The use of such 'intermediate objects' helps participants to project themselves into situations they might encounter in the future (Rodrigues & Rocha, 2023) P r e p r i n t n o t p e e r r e v i e w e d…”

“…In this study, we systematically followed the natural implementation of an ABW and evaluated the company objectives with the implementation process, which was to increase knowledge about ABW, to understand office rules , and to administer a transparent process with satisfying information and support . The implementation process relied on participatory ergonomics approach intended to involve employees in ergonomic analysis and design and are commonly used to develop skills, activities and competencies [ 19 ]. The process included four optional process activities, ergonomic seminar, management information, workshops and an inspiration seminar.…”

Relocation to new office solutions such as activity-based workplaces (ABW) has increased but satisfaction with the ABW among employees varies, and the importance of participation in the relocation process is unclear. This study aimed to examine the association between employees’ extent of participation in the implementation process activities and satisfaction with the relocation to ABW. Data were collected from 699 employees in a Swedish governmental agency 3-months prior to, 3-months and 9-months after relocation to the ABW. Questionnaires were used to assess participation in process activities and perceived satisfaction with knowledge about working in ABW, office rules, and information and support during the process. Participation in activities was significantly associated with higher overall satisfaction with knowledge, office rules, information and support, and effects were generally more pronounced as the number of attended activities increased. Satisfaction also increased among non-participants, although without reaching the same levels as participants. Our results show the importance to offer and facilitate a high participation in the relocation process activities to obtain satisfaction with a relocation to ABW.

“…Within occupational environments, several measures have been introduced to minimize the incidence of LBP: training workers on correct ergonomic postures [159], adapting workspaces to facilitate ergonomic postures [160], introducing weight limits [24] or using external manipulators such as cranes, to transport weights exceeding the recommended limits [25]. Additionally, in the past years, wearable back-support exoskeletons have been introduced with the goal to relieve the back musculoskeletal system of workers from excessive muscular forces and spinal joint loading [26,27].…”
