7.2. Conclusion
The Ergonomics Climate Assessment is a practical tool that researchers
and practitioners can use to understand the value for
performance and well-being that exists within an organization and
to help identify areas for improvement, as well as a method to
benchmark ergonomic process goals. Our findings demonstrated
that the framework of ergonomics climate can be used for
designing and modifying work to improve both operational performance
and employee well-being. Furthermore, our results
indicate that it is not only possible, but also preferred, for
K. Hoffmeister et al. / Applied Ergonomics 50 (2015) 160e169 167
organizations to equally value and develop strong performance and
well-being facets of ergonomics climate.
