Is Ergonomics The Future Of Work? With Guy Osmond

Is Ergonomics The Future Of Work? With Guy Osmond

Ergonomics has quietly moved from being about chairs and screens to something far bigger and far more important. In this conversation, I'm joined by Guy Osmond, who has spent over three decades at the sharp end of workplace ergonomics and human factors. What starts with back pain quickly opens into culture, mental health, neurodiversity, hybrid work, presenteeism, and why so many people are struggling in silence. This is one of those discussions that challenges how we think about work, wellbeing, and performance, and why getting the basics right is no longer optional.

Highlights

  • Ergonomics has evolved: From furniture to human factors and wellbeing
  • Physical pain tells a story: Stress, anxiety, and work design collide
  • Presenteeism explained: The hidden productivity drain organisations miss
  • Hybrid work risks: Why home workers are quietly struggling
  • Neurodiversity at work: One size never fits all
  • Culture over compliance: Why good intentions often fall short
  • Engaging the C suite: Turning discomfort into investment thinking
  • The future of work: Designing work around humans, not averages
