Ergo Global / UK DSE / DSE Assessments for Home Workers UK

ErgoWOW for UK employers

Support safer, healthier home working.

Help employees review their home workstation, identify avoidable risks and access the right level of support—without relying on informal photos, spreadsheets or one-off emails.

Built around practical ergonomics

A more effective DSE process

Home working still requires a managed DSE process.

Employees may be working from spare rooms, kitchen tables or dedicated offices. The challenge is to create a proportionate, repeatable process that helps people improve their setup and gives the employer visibility of unresolved risk.

Make the assessment practical

Guide employees through screens, seating, desk height, input devices, lighting, space and working habits in plain language.

Encourage self-correction

Provide practical guidance for issues employees can resolve safely through adjustment, positioning or better use of existing equipment.

Escalate what remains

Flag pain, persistent discomfort, unsuitable furniture or complex needs for further review.

What ErgoWOW supports

Give employees clear guidance—not just questions.

A home-working assessment is most useful when it helps the employee understand what good looks like and what action to take next.

A connected programme

Bring assessment, risk review, action tracking and professional support into one workflow rather than managing each stage separately.

How it works

From assessment to action.

  1. Assess

    The employee completes a guided home-workstation review.

  2. Improve

    Simple adjustment guidance is provided.

  3. Review

    Risk and discomfort responses are checked.

  4. Support

    Actions, equipment or specialist assessment are arranged.

Start with a focused pilot

Validate the workflow before wider rollout.

Test employee experience, reporting, internal responsibilities and escalation with one representative team, site or workforce group.

Frequently asked questions

DSE Assessments for Home Workers UK FAQs

Can an employee assess their own home workstation?
A guided self-assessment can be an effective first stage, particularly when it includes clear instructions and a process for employer review and escalation.
Not necessarily. Many organisations use self-assessment and virtual review first, with a more detailed assessment where risks cannot be adequately understood or resolved.
The workflow can record equipment needs, actions and follow-up so requests are linked to the assessment rather than handled separately.
The assessment should reflect the actual setup used. Temporary or space-constrained arrangements may require practical adjustment, alternative equipment or a change in working arrangement.
