The Ergonomic Way to a Better Day

A workstation that does not take in account proper ergonomics can cause backaches, neck pain, eye fatigue, and overall discomfort. Beyond the mere nuisance and inconvenience of aches and pains, these issues also negatively impact your work.

Companies that offer ergonomic workstations report a 40% improvement in organizational productivity. Creating a comfortable, ergonomic office promotes a neutral spine, which alleviates disc pressure and muscle pain while promoting healthy blood flow. Finding relief from pain and strains can help to improve other areas of work such as your level of energy and concentration. A proper workstation can help you sidestep these aches and pains, and help you make the most out of your hours at the office.

Ergonomic Office Essentials

Here are a few tips and suggestions from our consultants to banish lethargy and keep employees healthy.

• A standing desk alleviates stress on the back and legs and improves circulation, freeing your body and your brain to focus on the task at hand. Standing desks also increase core strength and alertness.

• An ergonomic office chair supports your lumbar, arms and legs properly. Ergonomic chairs are built to conform to the natural curve of your back. While these chairs will make your day more comfortable, it is still important to take a quick break from sitting every hour.

• It’s easy to forget about your legs when you’re sitting all day, but with a raised footrest you can reduce pressure on the lower back and increase blood flow to the legs. Rocking footrests prevent you from sitting in the same static position all day, ensuring healthy circulation and increased energy.

• Monitor arms and laptop raisers make sure your monitor is at eye level while you work. This prevents you from straining your neck.

• A wide variety of keyboard trays not only provide proper ergonomic support for your arms and hands but also allow for easy, clean storage of your keyboard and mouse.
