HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Our 2025 focus will be on making life even easier for our clients. We know the constant pressure experienced by the managers we work with and how hard it can be to juggle responsibilities and priorities. Many organisations have bewilderingly complex processes so we often find ourselves explaining to individuals how their employer operates and what they need to do to get action. We have even been known to tell people where to find things on their corporate intranet even though we have never seen it! Those are the sort of lengths we go to in order to ensure clients get outstanding service when dealing with us or navigating their employer’s internal communications process. In particular, we shall be stressing the single point of contact to get anything done. Our highly trained Customer Service team can respond to any enquiry and, if they don’t have the answer instantly, they will know where to find it quickly. Whether you need Osmond Ergonomics or Osmond Inclusive Wellbeing Services, a phone call (0345 345 0898), an email or LiveChat on either of our websites all connect you to the same small, knowledgeable team – no bots, no buts, just answers!
THE ENTICING OFFICE – WE KNOW WHAT WORKS: WHY DON’T WE DO IT?
As promised last month, my podcast is back! After a few months break, our first episode of the year was released at 6:30am on Monday 06.01.25. This month’s guest is Dr Nigel Oseland and we explored the impact of hybrid work, the necessity for physical offices, how to make them more inviting, the essential role of well-designed spaces in creating collaboration and innovation, as well as the quest for solitude and the challenges of managing hybrid teams. The discussion stemmed from some of Nigel’s research and my two-part blog inspired by it. For the podcast, choose your platform here.
2025 EVENTS
|
We shall be running quarterly face-to-face events throughout the year, starting in mid-March. We are still working on the final programme but expect the content to be thought- |
CORECHAIR ELITE
We had an overwhelmingly positive response to this new chair at the ACPOHE Study Day. The event, for occupational health physiotherapists, addressed the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic pain and the new CoreChair Elite was shown to be just the solution for sufferers of this debilitating condition. This new model is an enhancement of the established CoreChair Classic but the backrest is a dramatic enhancement to the product (with only a small price increase) and you don’t need to suffer from pelvic pain to love the unique design, function and comfort. Full production is still a couple of months away but contact us if you want to arrange a demonstration.
