Ergonomic matting for healthier, happier teams
Read on to find out how this can be made possible.
Supporting employee wellbeing with anti-fatigue flooring
JCDecaux is the world’s leading outdoor advertising company, delivering innovative media solutions that enhance public spaces and connect brands with audiences worldwide. Across its operational depots, where teams maintain and prepare street furniture and advertising assets, the introduction of Anti-Fatigue matting from Strata is helping to improve employee comfort and wellbeing at fixed workstations.
The Issues
The main issues JCDecaux were facing included:
Employees working at fixed workstations were experiencing discomfort, with frequent complaints of aching legs, tired feet, and poor posture
Prolonged standing was creating ergonomic challenges, highlighting the need to better support worker health and wellbeing.
While safety standards were in place, there was a requirement to demonstrate greater focus on employee comfort and long-term health.
“Putting matting at each workstation has clearly increased morale amongst the team. Feedback suggests that operatives are very impressed with the mats and feel that their comfort and health are being properly considered.“
The Results
Improved Health & Comfort
Employees reported a noticeable reduction in aching legs and tired feet. Complaints relating to posture, discomfort, and fatigue have significantly decreased since the installation of the matting.
Enhanced Worker Morale
Morale has improved across depots, with operatives responding very positively to the addition of the matting. Workers feel more comfortable throughout their shifts and appreciate the investment in their wellbeing.
Productivity & Wellbeing
While overall workload remains similar, the reduction in complaints around aches and pains suggests improved comfort and sustained productivity. Employees are able to work more comfortably for longer periods without fatigue-related issues.
Positive Workplace Perception
Operatives have commented that the matting demonstrates that their health is valued, not just safety compliance. This has helped reinforce a positive workplace culture focused on employee wellbeing.
JCDecaux selected Bubble Mat Standard to achieve the fit required for sites in Brentford, Manchester, Leeds, Plymouth, Newport and Edinburgh.
