Webinar: Ergonomics for linguists
19 March 2020
In this webinar professional linguists will learn the importance of optimising the ergonomics of their workplace and how professional workplaces can be adapted to be more compatible with the needs, abilities, and limitations of people rather than bowing to the constraints of equipment.
Find out how ergonomics relates to various aspects of translation and other concentrated language work including:
- Physical e.g. chair, hardware
- Cognitive e.g. language tools, source text quality
- Social e.g. interactions, collaboration
- Organisational e.g. workflows, working conditions
- Environmental e.g. temperature, noise levels
By the end of the webinar you will know:
- How to adapt your equipment to you and not the other way around
- Ways to customise your language technology settings to suit your needs
- The importance of regular breaks to foster creativity and prevent fatigue
- Ways to recognise when your attention is flagging and what to do
- How good ergonomics can help avoid serious health issues
