Covid 19 pandemic: a detrimental impact on the health and wellbeing of employees
The COVID-19 Pandemic will have a long term effect on the way we are working. Habits and guidelines are changing across Europe on almost a daily basis.
Flex-office, home office, co-working spaces, hot-desking or the traditional office, are just a few of the new ways of working employers and employees are confronted with. This evolution of workspaces has a significant impact on the comfort and ergonomics of your teams, which are a prerequisite to ensure their well-being and efficiency.
Our partner Fellowes Brands has conducted a pan-European survey to shine a light on the new ways of working, and the impacts that a poor workstation set-up has on our physical and mental health. The results show that this is a topic you should seriously take into consideration.
As an international specialist on the working environment topic, Lyreco is here to help you embrace these new challenges through expert advice, dedicated services and a broad ergonomic solutions offering.
