Abstract


This paper explores ways in which ergonomics increase the sustainability workplace by creating a multifunctional workspace. The analysis of the remote-working and workplace was done according to the variable factors on which the ergonomic design depends on. Ergonomic aspects and the construction of green workspaces receive attention from both the employer and employee, depending on where the work is carried out, representing an essential condition of well-being and implicitly and performance. This study shows us that the teamwork is important for development human resources using the observation and focus group. Also, presents the results obtained from the study the variables of the ergonomic design in the three ways arrange the workplace, using the least squares method for classic job and remote work.
