Feedback from India: What Employees Say About DSE Training

Display Screen Equipment (DSE) training is often viewed as just another compliance requirement. Yet, when delivered effectively, it has the power to transform how employees view their workstations, their posture, and their overall health at work.

Over the past year, Workplace Adjustments has supported organisations across India with DSE training programmes, and the feedback from employees reveals how impactful these sessions can be – when approached with care and practicality.

“I never realised my setup was causing my back pain.”

One of the most common responses we receive after DSE training is surprise. Many employees assume aches and pains are part of modern desk work. However, through practical demonstrations on adjusting chairs, desk heights, and screen positions, employees discover that small tweaks can make a huge difference.

For example, an employee from a Hyderabad tech firm shared, “I thought back pain was normal. But after adjusting my chair and raising my screen, it disappeared within days.”

This highlights why ergonomic chairs and height-adjustable desks are so important. Without the correct equipment, training alone cannot create lasting change. At Workplace Adjustments, we supply chairs with precise lumbar adjustments and sit-stand desks that empower users to maintain posture variety throughout their day – supporting the training principles taught.

“I feel more productive and less tired.”

Another theme in feedback is improved energy levels. Poor posture doesn’t just affect comfort; it drains energy as muscles overcompensate to maintain awkward positions. After learning correct sitting techniques and setting up document holders to reduce neck strain, employees report greater focus.

A Mumbai-based financial analyst noted, “Using a document holder beside my screen has cut my neck pain. I feel fresher at the end of the day.”

Our range of document holders is designed to integrate seamlessly into any workstation, reducing repetitive neck movement and eye strain – subtle changes that collectively boost wellbeing and productivity.

“It was practical, not just theory.”

Employees appreciate when DSE training goes beyond generic slides to demonstrate real workstation adjustments. One participant commented, “I liked that the trainer showed us how to adjust our chairs and explained why it mattered.”

This practical element reinforces the need for quality ergonomic products. Teaching employees to adjust backrests or seat depths is only effective if their chairs have these features. Our ergonomic chair range includes models with height, seat depth, and lumbar adjustments to suit diverse body types and tasks, ensuring training advice is actionable.

“It made me feel valued.”

Perhaps the most important feedback is that DSE training makes employees feel cared for. Investing in employee health shows that their wellbeing is not just a legal obligation but a genuine organisational priority. This builds trust and loyalty, enhancing retention in competitive sectors.

One IT professional shared, “I felt like the company actually cared about my health, not just the work I do.”

Closing the Gap Between Training and Equipment

While training equips employees with knowledge, lasting impact depends on the equipment provided. Teaching the benefits of alternating between sitting and standing is only meaningful if height-adjustable desks are available. Similarly, advising on mouse positioning assumes the mouse itself is comfortable to use. Our ergonomic mice range reduces wrist strain with contoured shapes designed for prolonged use, making them an ideal companion to DSE training outcomes.

Feedback from across India makes it clear: employees value DSE training that is practical, empowering, and supported by ergonomic solutions that bring training to life.

At Workplace Adjustments, we bridge the gap between knowledge and action. Our ergonomic chairs, sit-stand desks, document holders, and mice complement DSE training by enabling employees to apply what they learn immediately.

Empower your people to work comfortably, productively, and healthily – because small changes in the way they sit, stand, and work today prevent bigger health issues tomorrow. Let us support your next DSE training initiative with ergonomic solutions that drive real results for your team.
