Abstract

Workplace ergonomics is proven to help employees on their daily work routines. Â This research focuses on assessing the insights on the impact of ergonomic interventions as understood by the private school employees and be able to formulate strategies for improvement leading to workplace productivity and well-being. The use of descriptive quantitative method through survey questionnaire helps on how employees in selected private schools in Albay understood the impact of ergonomic interventions towards day-to-day activities and their participation supports its success. This research highlights the strong influence of school culture in determining ergonomic insights among employees. With a prominent focus on health and well-being, it is evident that when a school deeply cares about the well-being of its employees, they are automatically inclined to adopt ergonomic interventions as well as practices. Such collective cultural attitude serves as a driving force for long-term positive change within educational institutions. Yet, the presence of ergonomic equipment and allocated break areas indicates a moderate effect between availability and utilization. The responses indicate that while there are employees who enjoy using these physical resources, others do not use them or don't recognize the benefits hinting at issues such as accessibility, comfort, or deeply ingrained behavior. Thus, culture sparks the commitment, but to turn that commitment into actual physical comfort and health gains, it requires well-designed, transparent, and accessible ergonomic interventions. For private schools with a desire to create a successful, ergonomic-friendly work environment, the combination of a strong well-being culture and focused support such as training and habit-forming programs are some of the solutions. This approach can generate healthier, happier, and more productive space for all on campus with the strategies as guide.
