Ergonomics is the study of people and their working environment. The study and practice of ergonomics began as a result of increasing costs that are associated with workplace injuries from the soft tissues of the body. The average worker typically spends around 40 hours a week in the workplace. With proper ergonomics practice, workers can reduce pain, injuries, and even boost their productivity in the office.<\/p>\n
Whether you are working from home or in an office, we try to make our workspaces as productive and comfortable as possible since we dedicate a large period of time in them.

Alternatively, a taller dresser, ironing board or bookshelf will work well too. Just make sure that the keyboard and monitor are at the correct heights and distance.<\/p>\n
Now that you have a more efficient workspace, here are some habits that you can incorporate during your workdays to ensure that you have enough movement throughout the day.<\/p>\n
