Expert ergonomic assessments and human factors support to reduce pain at work
We are an ergonomics and human factors consultancy based in London, providing ergonomic assessments, DSE workstation assessments and long-term ergonomics programmes for UK and international organisations. We combine evidence-based tools from ergonomics, human factors, neuroscience, education and assistive technology. Our approach is biopsychosocial: we consider the body, the mind, and the way people actually work, not just the equipment in front of them. We listen, observe, identify and resolve
Ergonomics isn't one service, it's a system. Take a single ergonomic assessment or a full programme, delivered by the same multidisciplinary team of chartered ergonomists and specialists either way, wherever the work happens: office, home, factory or on the road.
Employers responsible for the health, comfort and compliance of their teams, from legal and financial firms to media, technology, the public sector and large corporations. We support the organisation and every individual within it, wherever the work happens.
Employees
Individuals in their workplace, from common areas of discomfort through to more complex needs: elevated pain, neurodiversity, visual and hearing impairments and other conditions. We help people access the right accommodations, and support them in advocating for the adjustments they need.
Why use Inspired?
Physical pain, cognitive load and sensory demand rarely arrive one at a time, but they’re usually handled by separate teams with separate budgets. We work with a single biopsychosocial framework across all of them, which helps us find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom, and why the problem tends to stay solved. Our work is led by Chartered Ergonomists, registered with the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors (CIEHF).
Personal, Friendly Support
Based on needs not a diagnosis. Our team of experts are especially selected for personable support and have a variety of lived experience
Multi-disciplinary support under one roof
Physical, cognitive, sensory and psychological needs assessed together, so nobody falls into the gap between HR, facilities, IT and occupational health.
Independent of every equipment supplier
We earn no commission on products, so the recommendation is the one that suits the person and the budget, not the one on our price list.
Built for the employer as well as the employee.
Every recommendation carries its reasoning, its evidence and, where relevant, the legal duty behind it, so you can act on it and defend it.
Education, not just equipment.
People are shown how their equipment works and why it matters, so the benefit lasts after we leave and they can manage their own risk.
Flexible around your company needs
As we are experts we are able to adapt our services around your exact requirements, from ad hoc support to a whole ergonomics programme
