mission

The mission of Erg'OH Conseil Sàrl is
  • to offer companies and their employees a long-lasting, effective and global prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD);
  • to reposition occupational health as a strategic tool to serve companies' performance and attractiveness.

Values

We believe that occupational health has too much suffered from being seen as a battle field between employees and employers. Hence, our first value is the search for common interests. Before acting, we make sure that every actor of the company is onboard the same boat. Doing so, we believe that we are just realistic, not idealistic: conflict is rarely productive.

To bring this philosophy to life, our values are as follows:
  • we are economically responsible: our work generates value for our clients as well as for society;
  • we are proactive: we reach towards you to identify together the solutions that we can find for your strategic challenges;
  • we are competent: our know-how remains up-to-date, and we work together with carefully selected partners to complete our offer;
  • we are pragmatic: no heavy solutions, but only projects that are adapted to your own situation and designed based on a broad field experience.
