"Virtually every 21st century western organization is a “people business” in some way and this will only increase with the transition “powered by the hearts, minds, and essential human traits of people."
"Workforces are now more diverse than ever, with every country experiencing more richly varied worker profiles – whether by age, gender identification, race, body type, physical and mental capabilities, or faith – resulting in a myriad of expectations, preferences and needs."
"The Wall Street Journal in January 2024, reported people working from home got promoted 30% less frequentlty in the previous year than office-based workers."
"Regardless of location – office, home, coworking spaces, or hybrid combinations – knowledge workers, especially heavier users of screens, are becoming increasingly sedentary, with consequential negative effects on well-being."
"Leitz’s 2023 Survey of German desk workers through GfK showed that contrary to a popular stereotype, the majority of people don’t want to work at home five days a week."
Workstation Ergonomics
Ergonomics directly impacts employee well-being, productivity, and overall job satisfaction. A well-designed ergonomic workspace reduces the risk of discomfort and injuries associated with repetitive tasks and poor posture, such as back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and eye strain.
By promoting proper alignment and movement, ergonomic solutions help employees work more comfortably and efficiently, leading to fewer sick days, higher morale, and better performance. Investing in ergonomics is not just about enhancing comfort; it's about creating a healthier, more productive workplace.
We can offer ergonomic advice and products to keep your workforce productive.
"German's now spend 9.2 hours/day on average sitting, up from 8.7 in 2021 – more than 10 hours for 18-29 year olds. Similarly, a 2024 report found that 26% of Dutch people aged 15 and above spend more than 8.5 hours a day sitting."
Sitting While Working “TNO” February 2024.
"If inactivity levels remain unchanged or get worse, at least half a billion additional people are projected to suffer from ill health, attributable to insufficient physical activity by 2030."
"Over a quarter (28%) of German desk workers have no ergonomic equipment at all and a further third (36%) have only a couple of items."
