answer:If I were you I would discuss this with the IT people at the company first, rather than try to bring them a one-off solution that may put you at odds with them, or which may involve a lengthy requisition-approval-purchase process. If it’s a large company, such as the one I work for, then they’ve probably already heard it all before and will have equipment already available or on their “recommended and approved” list that they can provide at short notice. What you’re requesting does not seem at all untoward or unreasonable; in fact, it seems to me that it should be pretty commonplace. And if it’s not commonplace where you work now, it probably soon will be. (The place where I work has a disproportionately older crowd of engineers and others who have been working not only “in the industry” for decades, but in many cases have been with the same company for 30 – 40 years or more. If I hadn’t left for ten years, I’d be coming up on a 35-year anniversary, myself, and I’m not quite an old-timer yet.) As workforces age and companies try to retain experienced and willing workers, they pay more and more attention to such ergonomic, “enabling” and such issues. (More than once I’ve had HR attempt to change my desk chair to a more expensive and ergonomic one, but they back off when I convince them that I like the one that I have, and assure them that I have no complaints about it.) I’m sure that if you present the issue in a non-confrontational way to HR or IT or even in-house medical staff (the route that we can take), then you won’t even have to convince anyone that “productivity would be higher” or that you would miss less work if you have equipment that suits your particular ergonomic / usability issues. If not, then you’ll have this thread to come back to.
