FEATURE : REMOTE WORKING
Technology and innovation come together to preserve employees ’ health
According to a Logitech study , 58 % of people currently working from home have to sit in an uncomfortable position to be in front of the camera during video conferences and 69 % experience recurring physical discomfort .
The office space should require a design that does not compromise a person ’ s health . Chairs , desks , keyboards , monitor height and lighting conditions are necessary investments to prevent lower back pain , neck pain , headaches , fatigue , stress , decreased productivity and even disabilities .
However , due to the COVID-19 pandemic , when the world shifted from the office to remote work , most people took their equipment home and set them up improvised , creating workspaces in dining rooms , bedrooms and sofas .
This reality has led to research on the physical wellbeing issues that remote employees are experiencing while working from their homes in spontaneous domestic spaces .
A recent study by Logitech , which gathered information from more than 3,000 people working from home with standard equipment , reveals that 58 % of employees have to sit in an uncomfortable position to be in front of the camera during video conferences , while 69 % experience physical discomfort , including visual fatigue , after sitting for long periods on calls and video conferences .
