Workplace Well-being

On average, UK workers spend 7 hours each day sat behind a computer screen. With this in mind, are you taking measures to ensure employees are working well?

Over the last 10 years, the way we work has changed especially with the introduction of new technology. However, it has also brought many challenges when it comes to avoiding spine and neck discomfort and pain.

We’re sure you don’t need us to tell you, but if your employee experiences pain or discomfort while seated at their desk they are less likely to perform to their full potential and may lead to having to take sickness leave due to health problems.

How can you make a positive change?

It’s simple, by completing a workstation and chair assessment you can quickly highlight any risks and minimise any discomfort to the user.

Prolonged use of computer workstations and display screen equipment (DSE) can lead to neck, shoulder, back or arm pain, along with stress, fatigue and temporary eyestrain.

These disorders can be easily avoided if DSE assessments are carried out and equipment is set up correctly. Combined with good ergonomic office chairs, ergonomic office desks and ergonomic office accessories you can help promote better posture, giving the body the balance and support it needs.

Here at MACOI we offer complimentary display screen equipment and chair assessments to help ensure you’re working safer and smarter. For your own personalised assessment, please get in touch to arrange an appointment at your convenience: Tel: 01480 869001 Email: enquiries@macoi.co.uk
