Essential Ergonomic Wellness Tips That Any Office Can Implement



Remember when you were younger and your parents or teachers would reprimand you for slouching? While many of us would want great posture, we are a nation of slouchers. Slouching isn’t just an aesthetic problem it can also lead to back problems – something that costs American companies over $100 billion each year.

It may seem like slouching isn’t something that can be fixed, with most office workers spending an average of 38 minutes out of every hour in bad posture. There are, however, a few essential ergonomic wellness tips that every office should implement to combat bad posture. Below we mention a few:

Be Comfortable

If you are sitting at your desk in front of your computer and something feels off, it’s time to move. Re-adjust yourself so that you are always working in a comfortable position.

Sit Properly in Your Office Chair

The right position is to ‘sit on your butt bones’. Move your bottom to the back of your office chair so that your pelvis faces your desk. This way, your body won’t have to expend a lot of energy for you to sit up straight.

Put Your Keyboard in the Right Place

You will never be in a comfortable sitting position if your keyboard isn’t positioned correctly. Sit in front of your desk and drop your arms so that they hang by your sides. Relax your shoulders and bend your elbows. The place where your fingertips are is where you should put your keyboard.

Move Around the Office

Spend at least between 5 and 10 minutes of every hour on your feet or moving around.

Set Reminders

Set a reminder on your computer to remind you to focus on your posture each day. Simply thinking about the way you sit and how you can reposition yourself will keep your posture front and center.

The productivity of employees feeds directly into big-picture business goals, creating a cycle that drives businesses to achieve more. Unfortunately, only 13% of the global workforce is actively engaged and satisfied with their workplace arrangement. Taking the time to invest in a workplace arrangement that supports this cycle is essential, improving job satisfaction, reducing turnover and burnout, boosting productivity, and most importantly, encouraging a  safe return to work during COVID-19 . Of course, developing your workplace environment is not a quick or inexpensive solution – but it is a critical one if you want to achieve these goals.

In Every Pandemic, There’s an Opportunity

  If you were considering an office-buildout before the pandemic hit, having lived through it can only be considered a blessing. At BE Builds, we’ve seen our clients designing workspaces that are dramatically different than the ones they would’ve designed just 12 months ago. Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace. And these enhancements are not just a temporary investment due to the pandemic –...

The Benefits Of Using Collaborative Office Furniture To Design Your Creative Space

A collaborative office space has been shown to improve colleague relationships, work-flow and overall productivity. When it comes to transforming an office space into a new-age collaborative set-up, the heart of it all will be the collaborative furniture that you choose.  Collaborative office furniture  needs to complement the design of the space and, most importantly, promote efficiency within the workplace. Using Collaborative Furniture to Build the Space Most will agree that the main consideration to keep in mind when creating a well-functioning office space lies in finding a steady balance between work areas and storage areas. While most traditional offices keep these two aspects of the business separate, most collaborative furniture will offer built in storage options in order to accommodate both. Another consideration to keep in mind is investing in the right sizes when it comes to collaborative workspace furniture. The sizes which you select should depend on the...
