5 Top Tips To Create An Ergonomic Workspace From Scratch

Ergonomics is so much more than a buzzword - it’s about creating a space that’s tailor made to encourage healthy working habits, and can even help reduce issues commonly associated with desk bound jobs like weight gain, neck and eye strain, and back pain. 

Embrace Pro - Ergonomic Chair

Tip 1: Invest in a comfortable chair

Your chair is one of the most important pieces of ergonomic office furniture. An ergonomic chair that supports proper posture may even help prevent back and neck pain, and prevent headaches! May we humbly suggest the Embrace Pro? With 12 points of ergonomic adjustment, it’s also available with a German mesh seat so you can keep cool in Singapore’s humid weather.

Tip 2: Consider a height-adjustable desk

Standing desks have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. Standing desks can help reduce back pain and increase energy levels by keeping you active throughout the day!

With smart desks like the Omnidesk Ascent, the benefits don’t stop there. You can even use the Omnidesk Life app to track your sitting and standing times to ensure you hit your targets and maintain your health.

Ergonomic Keyboard

Tip 3: Use an ergonomic keyboard and mouse

If you spend a lot of time typing, it's important to use an ergonomic keyboard and mouse to reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury. While ergonomic keyboards look similar to normal ones, ergo-keyboards are designed to keep your hands in the proper position and prevent strain. The same goes for ergonomic mice, which can also prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.

Tip 4: Make use of desk accessories

Desk accessories, such as monitor stands like the Arka Desk Riser, can help improve posture and reduce physical strain by bringing your monitor to eye-level so you can view it comfortably. It even comes with storage compartments so you can keep your desk clutter-free for a less stressful environment.

Even when you’re standing, items like our Atlas Anti-Fatigue Mat can help relieve the pressure of standing on hard floors. The specialised gel within the Atlas helps to evenly distribute your weight, meaning it can help avoid the aches and pains associated with standing on hard surfaces for long periods of time!

Tip 5: Keep your workspace tidy

A cluttered workspace can lead to physical discomfort and decreased productivity. Make sure you keep your desk tidy, with cables and wires neatly tucked away, and consider using desk organisers to keep your workspace organised.
