Assessment
UCLA Ergonomics is conducting evaluations of employee's remote workstations via Zoom. To further support staff working at home, Telecommute Tips fact sheets, and group trainings are also available.
Telecommute Tips
How to Use These Fact Sheets
The Telecommute Tips series of fact sheets provides in-depth suggestions on how to improve a variety of computer setups. Start by making one or two changes that best suits your home work area. You do not have to make sweeping changes all at once. Incremental change allows you to “test out” those changes and decide if more are necessary. Resolving discomfort associated with computer work can be tricky but by reviewing these fact sheets, and making a few changes over time, you will have an optimized computer workstation that reduces strain on the body and improves comfort.
Training
Employees can access the Health Working online training portal via the UC Learning Center for additional information about reducing risks associated with the development of musculoskeletal disorders.
Departments can request group trainings to meet specific needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
UCLA has adopted the concept of FlexWork, which encourages departments to provide opportunities for employees to work remotely on a full-time or part-time basis if their job duties do not require onsite presence. As part of this program, a provision for a work-from-home furniture allowance for employees who meet the eligibility criteria has been developed. For ordering details, go to:FlexWork at UCLA.
