How are we doing it?

The ERGOHOBE program (acronym created with the words Ergonomy and Hobekuntza = Improvement) started in the year 1999 and consists of the progressive implementation in Lantegi Batuak’s workshops and services of an annual project for the ergonomic optimisation of workplaces, and of whole organisations, with the final goal of adapting workplaces and removing architectural barriers for persons with disabilities from work centres. From 2007 Ergohobe extended its scope, becoming the technology centre applied to social and vocational development.

Ergohobe is achieving this by implementing innovative measures in matters concerning individualisation of processes, detection of professional profiles with the most demand related to new market niches competence planning, formative training diagnoses, ergonomic adaptations and workplace design and process reorganisation.
