In the wake of remote work, we are seeing a lot of professionals working longer hours in the comfort of their beds. Some others are stuck sitting in uncomfortable dining chairs while others set up workstations on their room floors. Many do all this continuously for more than eight (or more) hours a day.

Before the pandemic, companies were heavily investing in office and workspace ergonomics. These companies were conversant with the fact that their employees will be more productive and efficient when they worked in comfortable spaces. 

Now that 90% of the workforce has moved to a home-based setup. How is your workstation health and safety? Worse or better than before?

According to reports, Ergonomic professionals have noticed a spike in the number of physical health problems caused by neck and upper body discomfort due to poor use of laptops and uncomfortable furniture.

So even though more employees are working from home there is still a rise in sickness and absenteeism. This means less productivity and an overall negative impact on workers’ wellbeing.

Post-coronavirus companies will need to invest as much time and money in the health of workers even when they are at home, as they do when they are in the office.

This means carrying out a suitable assessment of their employees' remote working environment.

Employers must continue to collaborate with their employees on workstation health and safety if they are to achieve optimum productivity. This means having access to the right tools.

It will leave them more energized and excited to work.

Still, employees need to take personal responsibility by using ergonomic workspaces for their health and optimum results.

Your company should reimburse you in case of any expenses associated with making those workstations as efficient and comfortable as possible.

This should cover everything from the furniture and equipment being used. This means no to Dining chairs and yes to ergonomic saddle chairs and ergonomic workspaces.
