A Holistic Approach to Workspace Ergonomics

Published April 25, 2017 in Workplace Wellness, Office Furniture

sitting

Ergonomics in the office environment considers the needs of our evolving workforce; one of continuous learning, collaboration and interaction; as well as, privacy options, and overall healthy living. Taking a holistic approach to ergonomics when considering office furniture and accessories for your workspace will result in happier employees and improved productivity.

How to think holistically when designing an ergonomic space:

1) The Desk

  • Sitting in once place for a long period is not good for the body
  • Sit-stand desks are a great option, as they encourage employees to change positions often throughout the day without interrupting their work

2) The Chair

  • The average adult now spends 50-70% of the day sitting at work
  • Try to source ergonomic chairs that ensure comfort and encourage good posture

 

3) The Task Light

  • Try to incorporate adjustable lighting options, so employees can customize their preferred level of light
  • LED lights are a great option, as they cast less heat so the area is more comfortable

 

4) The Computer Monitor Arm

  • Computer monitors let the user optimize their workstation
  • Attaching a monitor (or two) or by using a laptop, the user can quickly and easily move the screen into a comfortable position
  • Workstations often have a variety of users and are used for a variety of tasks, so the computer monitor arm is a popular ergonomic computer accessory
