ERGONOMIC SOLUTIONS FOR HOME WORKING
Home working is not yet a thing of the past. As
restrictions li but the message still clearly ‘work
from home if you can’, DURABLE o er solutions
for e icient and ergonomic workstations to
ensure your sta are set up for home-working
e iciently.
What do workers need around them?
It takes more than just a laptop to create a home
o ice, so establishing what people require to be set
up at home e ectively is the first step to implementing
a good home working practice. FMs are familiar with
ensuring employees are set up correctly with their
required products in the o ice, now the challenge for
FM’s is to recognise what is needed at home.
Along with
traditional o ice
equipment to
ensure proper
posture and
positioning,
(such as an
o ice chair and
wrist supports)
modern solutions can also create an ergonomic
workspace by implementing the ‘clean-desk’ principle.

Space may be limited for your employees so keeping
their workspaces clear and organised leads to less
distractions and increased concentration. Drawer
boxes and Monitor Mounts are useful tools as well as
space saving, and cable management products are
a must for taming the cable spaghetti we o en find
when working from home.
Employee wellbeing
We know that our working environments have a
huge e ect on us, so advising workers to set up their
workspace by a window will provide natural light
which works in harmony with the body’s circadian
rhythm. And as the nights draw in, o ering human
centric lighting works as a good alternative.
Facilities
Managers are
no longer only
responsible for
ensuing sta
have the correct
equipment; they
need to support
workers to make
this shi to home working as seamless as possible.
Checking in from time to time keeps sta feeling
connected and more confident to ask for support.
