Working from home sounds simple (not to mention convenient) but you’re probably realising by now, how easy it is to get distracted or how quickly you have developed back or neck pain from your makeshift ‘home office’. Kitchen tables and bedrooms have temporarily become home offices, meaning you may be working in less-than ideal ergonomic conditions, for example a chair that’s too low or a table that’s too high. Poor ergonomics can make or break this experience and when those ergonomics are poor, it adds further stress to your day when pain develops.In addition, when your home suddenly becomes your workplace, it can be hard to concentrate on tasks or to figure out when to stop being available, which also makes it tough to ‘call it day’, as you would when you physically leave your office. With many professionals carrying out remote working for the unpredictable and foreseeable future, we have a downloadable leaflet to help you boost productivity and stay comfortable in this new working environment.
Topics covered include:
Ergonomics – making sure your working posture and position are optimised for comfort and to avoid back pain.
A designated workspace – Ideally you should separate your private life from your work life. Not everyone can do this, but check out ways to make it easier.
Taking regular breaks – Listen to how your body is feeling
The 20/20/20 rule – Making sure you do not develop eye strain from too much screen time
Time frames and work boundaries – Setting up a schedule
