Working from home the healthy way: office ergonomics matter

Working from a home office is a productivity strategy that has been gaining popularity in recent years  - and the coronavirus outbreak has hugely accelerated this trend.
​
There are many great benefits to working from home, including traffic-free mornings, having a few more minutes to sleep in, and the potential to save on your monthly office rental.
But before you put your office wear away for good you’ll need to make sure that the ergonomics of your home office are set up for productivity and good health.​

Here’s what every work from home executive needs to know about high-quality office furniture and how it can make a huge difference to your health and the
quality of your work.

 Working from home shouldn’t be a pain in the neck

​2020 was the year when we all had to learn how to work from home - and fast.
As billions of people around the world took to their homes to avoid the coronavirus, board rooms and office cubicles were quickly swapped for kitchen tables and couches - not to mention the Zoom meetings that took place with kids and pets being hushed in the background.

• Most of us have figured out how to work from home in the past 12 months, but many people are still using home office furniture that’s not designed for extended periods of sitting, typing and other work activities.

• Using the wrong type of office chair or a table that’s too low could be bad news for your back - and almost every other region of your body too.

A remote working home office should be a place where creativity flows and high quality work gets done. To avoid injury and perform at your best, you’ll want to make sure that your workspace is set up ergonomically for optimal back support and comfort. 

Working from home like a pro - how ergonomic office chairs can help 

Office furniture is designed to be used for hours at a stretch without causing strain to the body. Here are some of the benefits you’ll enjoy by opting for spine-friendly chairs or a bench desking system.
 

• Things will be at the right height. To maintain a healthy posture and avoid a case of “text neck” you’ll need to keep your head upright and your eyes in front of you as much as possible. Ergonomic office chairs with a desk that matches their height can help you achieve this.
• Your entire spine will be supported. The spine works as a connected whole - and it needs support from head to foot. An ergonomic office chair will keep your entire spine aligned for optimal health and productivity.
