That’s it, Halloween is over, so next we will see people starting to plan Christmas! Where has the year gone?
Amidst the planning of office parties, team get togethers and yule time merriment at home it’s crucial to understand that we can’t forget about ergonomics and good health!
Give yourself and the people you work with the gift of good health!
Whatever you are doing in the lead up to Christmas, remember that we need to think about ‘how’ we are doing tasks and consider our posture, can help prevent discomfort and pain. If someone is hanging up decorations in the office, make sure they use suitable equipment and they are not over extending.
Consider giving the gift of ‘comfort’ this Christmas. If some one you know has been ‘making do’ all year with poorly fitting equipment then the gift of a good office chair, sit-stand desks, or quality adjustable accessories like portable keyboards and laptop stands can make thoughtful presents that promote comfort and well-being. Why not use this time of year to reflect on how well your company is following your wellbeing values.
When you have purchased gifts for people… mind how you wrap them!
Wrapping gifts can be a lot of fun but hours spent hunched over, or on the floor wrestling with tape can cause strain your neck and back. Find a comfortable space to sit, use a table at a proper height, and remember to take breaks to avoid discomfort.
