A good home office set consists of a number of components:
1. The correct position of the monitor; if you work with a laptop, this can be realised with a laptop stand, such as the
Ergo-Q 330 or the circular and durable Ergo-Top 320. If you have a laptop or use a desktop PC, you will also need an (external) monitor. With a monitor arm or a monitor raiser, you can place the screen at the right viewing height and distance.
2. Ensure that the chair and
table are at the right height. A kitchen table is often higher than a desk. A good desk, whether or not height-adjustable, plus a good office chair are essential.
3. When using a laptop, an
external mouse and
keyboard are very important. With these two aids, you can adopt a relaxed and compact working posture, which puts less strain on your muscles and reduces the risk of physical discomfort. The UltraBoard 950 compact keyboard brings the mouse closer to the body than a standard version.
Physical and mental fitness
In addition to the practical hardware solutions that are necessary at every home workplace, it is also important to coach people in their behaviour. Do they take regular recovery moments? Are they not staring at a screen for too long? BakkerElkhuizen has developed the WORK & MOVE employee well-being software for this purpose.
The
WORK & MOVE software contributes demonstrably to a sustainable performance improvement. As a personal coach, WORK & MOVE ensures sufficient variation between mental and physical exercise and concentrated screen work. WORK & MOVE gives your employees insight and feedback on their work behaviour. Based on personal preferences, the software recommends an optimal work, rest and exercise rhythm.
The software teaches employees to adopt these routines. By regularly including mental and physical moments of exercise (so-called pit stops), your employees remain energetic and work with greater concentration. Scientific studies show that pit stops also have a positive effect on productivity and the quality of work.
