This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Humanizing Work and Work Environment (HWWE-2022) conducted at Punjabi University, Patiala. The conference proceedings examine a range of issues confronted by researchers and practitioners in the field of ergonomics and human factors engineering today. The book showcases latest research on physical ergonomics, workplace design, product design for usability, user interface and experience design, and assessment of cognitive workload, among other topics. The book also discusses various methodological approaches used by researchers and scientists in the field of ergonomics, such as participatory ergonomics, survey research, experimental design, data driven modeling and other recent approaches. This book will be a useful reference for researchers, practitioners, professionals, and consultants in the field of ergonomics, human factors engineering, and worksystem design.
