What Ergo is about
Something's wrong at Sit and Up: a rash of injuries nobody can explain. Ann, the company doctor, wants to get to the bottom of it, so she calls in Sheridan, an ergonomics expert, to help her find the source of all these aches and pains.
You join the investigation and, step by step, discover what workstation design, environmental conditions, desk posture and physical and mental fatigue have to do with it. The game's simulators let you test what you learn, get feedback and adjust as you go.
What you learn at Sit and Up comes home with you: it works just as well in the office as it does when you're working remotely, and helps you look after your health, your comfort and your productivity.
