Ergonomy - Working in balance
Ergonomics is a matter of adjustment! Have you always wanted to know how to adjust your office chair correctly? Or how you can reduce your shoulder and neck complaints? Then take part in a short lecture. In addition to information on ergonomics in the workplace, you will also receive lots of practical tips that you can implement and apply directly at your workplace. You can choose between two dates (morning and afternoon). The content of the presentations is the same.
In addition, we offer employees at Deutscher Herold individual consultation appointments directly at their workplace on this day. You can book an appointment either as an individual or as a small group. These appointments can be booked independently of participation in the short lecture.

Good to Know
Our events and activities are open to all staff and apprentices at the University of Bonn who hold a valid work or apprenticeship contract with the University. Unfortunately, externals are not able to take part.
Participation is free for staff at the University of Bonn, which will cover the costs.
The event spaces are accessible to a certain extent. Should you need help getting in, please get in touch with your named contact in good time so that we can give you the support you need on the day of the event.
The events are also accessible to people with a hearing or visual impairment. If you have specific needs, please contact us in advance so that we can put appropriate support in place.
If you need childcare during an event, please contact the Office of Family Services at the University of Bonn.
We want to foster an environment of inclusiveness and diversity at our events and so are keen for everyone there to feel comfortable and safe. This requires us all to be mindful of the words we use and to avoid saying anything or behaving in a way that is offensive (even if only unintentionally).
Please be aware of the following:
- Use discrimination-sensitive language and respect other people’s self-identifiers (e.g. pronouns).
- Certain topics can trigger emotional overwhelm, so you should be mindful of your own boundaries as well as other people’s.
- If discriminatory experiences are addressed, you should take them seriously and acknowledge them for what they are.
- You can take a break or a step back at any time. If you need to leave the event room and require a space to withdraw to, you are welcome to speak to someone in our office, the event team or the trainer.
More information and tips can be found on the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Unit web pages.
