Ergonomics, an essential pillar
A healthy lifestyle is totally related to the day to day and the job influences it. Unfortunately, many workers do not pay attention to ergonomics applied to the workplace. Standard table and chair sizes, as well as the lack of custom settings, lead to health problems that have long-term consequences.
Poor posture can significantly decrease work performance and also affect private life. Therefore, it makes sense that employers and employees alike appreciate the need to design an ergonomic workplace concept.
