| Abstract: | The integration of workers with disabilities into the labour market is a complex issue that requires an interdisciplinary approach. This study analyses barriers to employment for people with disabilities and highlights the role of ergonomics, modern technologies, and sustainability in creating an inclusive work environment. Through a literature review, surveys, and interviews, we examined the situation in Europe and in Slovenia, with particular attention to technologies such as an inertial motion capture (Mocap) system and Xsens sensor suit for improving workplace design. Although technological advances create opportunities, challenges remain, including low awareness of ergonomics, high implementation costs, and a shortage of qualified personnel. The study offers recommendations such as educational programmes, awareness campaigns, collaborative workshops, and practical solutions using simulation techniques. In particular, the use of motion-capture simulations such as Xsens sensor suit is emphasised as a valuable tool for ergonomic workplace design, enabling precise analysis and optimisation of tasks to better support an inclusive and sustainable work environment. |
