With the bulk of the corporate work force ordered to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, what can employers do to maintain their obligations of providing their employees with a safe and healthy work environment? Most homes are just not equipped for employees to work their regular 8 hour + day, which could impact on your employees health and also productivity.

Habitat can provide businesses with some easy ergonomic solutions for their employees to set up an ergonomic work environment at home.

Ergonomic Task Chair

A height adjustable ergonomic seat will ensure  body posture is supported and correct to enable long periods of work. It will allow you to modifythe height of your chair so that your elbows are in line with, or just above the desk height. Ensure you sit to the very back of the chair - you should feel the back of the chair all the way down your spine for optimal support.

Flexi Desk

As most employees move to an offsite work environment they will be utilising lap tops and other mobile devices. A flexi desk will allow your employees to easily modify a stable bench or table into an ergonomic work station at home. By raising your device, you are looking straight ahead when looking at the computer screen which removes strain on the neck.

Height Adjustable Desk

Adjustable height desks allow the user to select a working position that is ideal for their body. Employees who alternate between a sitting and standing positions will have more energy, experience reduced fatigue levels, and reduce their risk of injury caused by working in one body position too long.
