ABSTRACT

This paper explores the application background and value of ergonomics in enterprise office space planning and design. It analyzes the role of ergonomic principles in improving employee work efficiency, reducing employee fatigue and occupational risks, enhancing corporate image and culture, and reducing costs. Based on the basic principles of ergonomics, this paper proposes opinions on the content and function of office space and the basic elements of ergonomic theory in office space planning and design. The requirements and standards for enterprise office space planning are summarized, and the shortcomings and problems of current enterprise office design in terms of ergonomic principles are pointed out. Based on the results analysis and problem analysis, this paper proposes the development direction and suggestions for the application of ergonomics in enterprise office space planning and design in the future.

KEYWORDS
