Something to watch for - if you’re spending long periods at a desk, according to our workstation assessment people, we should try to have

  • feet flat on the floor/footrest
  • elbows at 90 degrees
  • back fully supported by the backrest
  • allow some 'lean back' movement in the chair
  • top of monitor(s) at eye level

We're all different shapes and sizes so it can be tricky to solve all these suggestions at once - don’t discount cheap fixes like footrests, desk risers, monitors on books before buying new desks and chairs.

Ergonomics are so important. I really strive for that at home and at work. And lately, I think about it while in rideshare. Like, "this chair is not ergonomic enough. Let me adjust all the settings to get comfortable" 😅
