Leveraging Ergonomics and Human Factors (E/HF) for community impact: what have we learned about how to make a difference.
Ergonomics

Department of Systems and Information Engineering, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA.
Ergonomics and Human Factors (E/HF) practitioners are increasingly engaged in projects meant to centre underserved communities and reduce inequities. The subdiscipline of E/HF that has emerged to explore the application of E/HF in this way is called community ergonomics. In this qualitative-descriptive study, we reflect on the progress made in the field of community ergonomics since its original conceptualisation in 1994.

Article Synopsis
- There is a need for better tools for assessing how well ergonomics and human factors (E/HF) are integrated into organizations from a broader perspective, and this paper introduces the Ergonomic Maturity Model (EMM).
- The EMM categorizes organizations into five levels of maturity regarding E/HF: Ignorance, Understanding, Experimentation, Regular use, and Innovation, and provides a structured method for evaluation and improvement.
- The paper also outlines a three-step process for applying the EMM, introduces four specific tools for its implementation, and presents a case study of a Colombian floriculture company to illustrate its practical use.
Proposal of guidelines to assist managers to face pressing challenges confronting Latin American universities: a complexity theory perspective.
Ergonomics
September 2023
School of Mechanical Engineering, State University of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil.
The Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated pre-existing problems in Latin America and posed unprecedented challenges for Latin American universities (LAU). These challenges can be characterised as complex problems that cannot be understood through reductionist approaches. This paper aims (i) to provide a complex system perspective of the challenges confronting LAUs and (ii) to propose guidelines for managers of LAUs to address them in practice.

Department of Industrial Engineering, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, B3H4R2, Canada. Electronic address:
Organizational Design and Management (ODAM) elements of Ergonomics and Human Factors (E/HF) apply to congress organization. Exemplary delegate and organizer E/HF experience is constrained by shifting requirements, time pressures and financial constraints. E/HF application while organizing the International Ergonomics Association's Triennial Congress in 2021 (IEA2021) is described focusing on delivery platforms considering typical and exceptional (pandemic) constraints, emphasizing ODAM E/HF principles and generalizable lessons.
