Employee satisfaction in lean management

‘The more you enjoy your work, the better it pays’
(Mark Twain)

In the previous article, we mentioned that ergonomics and the well-being of employees in the workplace also play a major role in lean management. Why? We have listed the most important points here:

⚙️ Reduction of physical strain: Ergonomic workstations minimise the risk of injury and fatigue, which leads to greater employee satisfaction.

⚙️ Optimisation of work processes: By taking ergonomic aspects into account, processes can be designed in such a way that they are more intuitive and less error-prone.

⚙️ Employee involvement: If employees are given a say in the design of their workplaces, this will result in significantly higher job satisfaction.

⚙️ Increased motivation: An ergonomically designed workplace shows employees that their health and well-being are valued, which increases motivation and commitment.

🎯 As a result, the higher the motivation in the workplace, the better the results and, ideally, it also makes it easier to recruit skilled workers.
