Boise State University announced on May 4 that it will offer free ergonomic consultations to employees on Tuesday, May 12 as part of its Mental Health Month initiatives.

The university said the sessions aim to help staff create more comfortable and healthy workspaces. A well-designed workspace can reduce strain, improve focus, and support overall well-being, according to Boise State.

During these one-on-one sessions, employees will receive guidance on workstation setup, posture, and equipment positioning. The university said these adjustments are intended to help prevent discomfort or injury while working.

Employees interested in participating can register by adding their name to an available appointment time. Space is limited for the consultative sessions. Boise State also encourages staff to explore ergonomics resources provided by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

These ergonomic consultations are part of a broader set of events and resources offered by Boise State during Mental Health Month to support employee well-being. Employees seeking more information are advised to contact hr@boisestate.edu.
