"A new way of working for the better"

We are all too aware of just how much of our day is dedicated to work! For many of us this means spending hour after hour sat down.

By paying careful attention to our back, wrists and neck - and supporting these key areas with quality ergonomic products and good working habits, we can add more movement to the working day whilst adopting better posture in between!

There are plenty of things we can do to be more active at work, like using the stairs instead of the lift, visiting a colleague to personally deliver a message instead of emailing them, or standing up when using the phone. Or to really encourage a disciplined cycle of motion throughout your working day you could consider a sit-stand working solution.

By working actively, employees will be healthy and more focused, sustaining higher energy levels and experiencing better levels of concentration at work. This then leads to a boost in performance and the ability to achieve more in the same time with less effort!

Bad habits and workstation risks are causing employee pain and discomfort and compromising performance.

To make it easier for you to choose the right ergonomic solutions for you and the way you work, Fellowes has developed the 4 Zone Approach® to healthier, active working.

The Zones pinpoint health hazards and promote good posture across four key areas, for healthy working best-practice whether in a corporate office, home office or mobile work environment.

Don't break the Law. Look after your employees

It's a legal requirement for all businesses (EU Directive 90/270/EEC) to undertake regular Workstation Risk Assessments to ensure its employees are working in safety and comfort - whether they're in the office or out of it.

Over 17 million employed Europeans work from home (and that figure is growing every year!)² - and yet 75% of European businesses are unaware they have a legal requirement to ensure their employees are working healthily outside the office³.
