The Remote Worker
4 – 5 Days at Home
You may not set foot in the office, but you will still benefit from a dedicated workspace to keep you supported, focused, and comfortable at home. From seating to storage and technology—we’ve got your functional needs covered.
Ergonomic tips
Your workplace should respond to your changing needs, helping you eliminate uncomfortable postures, reduce eyestrain, enhance communication, and harmonize with your technology. A good work environment should make work easier on your body so your brain can do the heavy lifting.
The following page has some helpful tips that are easy to incorporate into your workday to help maintain healthy work habits.
20-20-20 Rule
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This exercise will help you avoid eye strain, and reduce headaches and neck pain.
Sit Back
Sit all the way back in your chair. This helps support your spine’s natural S shape.
Flat Feet
Make sure your feet are squarely supported on a foot rest or the floor. Putting your feet on the base of the chair can reduce circulation to your legs, and can affect spinal alignment.
Parallel Position
While typing, keep your forearms parallel to the floor, with your elbows in a relaxed position. Too-high surfaces will cause elevation at the shoulders, increasing tension in the neck and back.
Pull Screen Toward You
Pull your environment toward you – not the other way around. Sit back in your chair, and pull your monitor(s), keyboard, and mouse toward you to reduce the tendency to lean forward. Leaning forward increases the strain on the spine, neck and jaw.
