Posture at Work

Posture at work is big business.

If you didn’t know already, companies are starting to reduce staff absence by actively monitoring the posture of their staff.

Are you a professional monitoring posture? Or as a staff member, are you keen to ensure you don’t end up off work with pain from posture issues?

For example, drivers and pilots spend long hours sitting at work, and they don’t get to stand up and walk over to someone else’s desk if they fancy a chat. Keeping track of their posture is a good way to reduce musculoskeletal problems.

Desk workers spend up to eight hours a day sat still, simply typing or using a phone. This sedentary posture is really damaging if it’s bad sedentary posture. In addition, tackling how often these staff get up and move around can be key to ensuring they have a long and productive career.

Just think about architects hunched over their drawing boards as an example!
And how about warehousing and distribution staff?
And manual laborers, builders, roofers, gardeners?
Or the bank clerks, reaching forward all day to take cheques and cash?
Consider your hairdresser, your dentist, your massage therapist
The list goes on and on!

Thankfully, employers are starting to take note, not just because they aim to care for their workforce, but also because it reduces staff absence from pain, and the costly effect of accidents and injuries as a resultof bad posture at work.

As you can see, it makes sense for both the employer and the employee for the staff to have good posture. It’s a no-brainer really!
