Why Are WFH Ergonomics So Important?

Working from home, sitting behind a desk, the kitchen table or the couch can be really exhausting. Quality of work and productivity, in general, can be greatly improved with better workplace ergonomics. Ergonomics are how your body interacts with its surroundings, the desk chair and even computer accessories you use every day. Having a proper ergonomic workspace at home can help not only your work but can help prevent any unnecessary stressors from impacting the body and leading to injury.

To help self-assess your current home workstation we put together an Ergonomics At-Home Checklist.

The Ergonomics At-Home Checklist by Zest Wellness CGI provides self-reflective questions in regards to at-home workspaces.

The goals of the questions are for the user to satisfy them – by answering “Yes”. By doing so, the user can ensure working postures or positions minimize excessive strain on bodily structures and thus reduce risks of musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries.
