Ergonomics unfiltered: Separating fact from fiction on hybrid work, injury prevention, and workplace myths

Marsh specialists break down ergonomic risk across hybrid work and healthcare settings.

10/23/2026 · 2 minute read

Hybrid work, wearable technology, and artificial intelligence are changing how organizations think about ergonomic risk, but not every change in how people work has been matched by a change in how that risk is managed. In this session, Marsh’s ergonomics specialists cut through common misconceptions to explain what is actually driving musculoskeletal injuries today, and what organizations can do to prevent them.

The conversation moves across hybrid and mobile work, healthcare, and industrial settings, addressing the practical realities of injury prevention and the connection between ergonomics and Workers' Compensation costs.

Watch the webinar recap and explore

  • Perspectives on the most common ergonomic challenges organizations face today
  • Ergonomic risk across hybrid and mobile work, from home offices to vehicles to client sites
  • Myths and misconceptions still shaping how organizations approach ergonomics, separated from what the evidence actually supports
  • Patient handling and ergonomic risk in healthcare settings
  • The connection between ergonomic risk, early warning signs, and Workers' Compensation outcomes
  • What wearable technology can, and cannot, tell organizations about workplace risk

Key takeaways

  • Ergonomic risk does not disappear when work moves outside a traditional office. It shows up differently, but it still requires attention and action.
  • Many long-standing assumptions about ergonomics do not hold up when examined closely, and acting on the wrong assumption can lead organizations to invest in the wrong solutions.
  • Catching early warning signs before they become injuries is one of the most effective ways to manage both employee well-being and workers' compensation costs.
  • Technology can help identify patterns and build awareness, but it works best alongside expert guidance, not in place of it.
