Ergonomics in the workplace is a key element that affects the health and comfort of employees.
The cornerstones of an ergonomic workplace are a height-adjustable electric desk and an ergonomic chair.
In addition, there are a number of ergonomic accessories, such as a keyboard drawer, monitor arm and footrest, which can further improve the quality of work.
You can read more about these accessories below.
A height-adjustable electric desk is the foundation of an ergonomic workstation. The models offered by Human Office are characterized by smooth adjustment and structural stability. Height adjustment makes it possible to work in a standing position, which has many health benefits, such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, improving circulation and increasing energy levels. In addition, the frequent change of position from sitting to standing counteracts muscle fatigue and reduces back pain.
It is also worth noting the ability to program favorite height settings, which allows you to quickly and conveniently adjust the desk to your current needs. Durable materials and precise workmanship guarantee the longevity of the product, which is important from the perspective of investing in the health of employees.
An ergonomic chair is a key component of any ergonomic workstation. Our recumbent chairs offer advanced spinal support with dynamic backrest adjustment that adapts to the user’s movements, eliminating the need for manual adjustment. The lumbar support, which automatically adjusts to the shape of the back, provides maximum comfort and reduced tension in the lower back.
Adjustable armrests, which can be adjusted in both height and width, help reduce tension in the arms and shoulders. The seat height and seat depth can be adjusted to suit the user’s individual needs, which is key to maintaining proper posture and preventing back pain.
A keyboard drawer is an invaluable accessory that helps maintain proper posture while working at a desk. Models such as the Humanscale 6G allow the keyboard to be positioned at the correct height and angle to minimize strain on the wrists and forearms. A slide-out design allows the keyboard to be stored freely when not in use, helping to keep your desk tidy.
An integrated wrist rest made of soft but durable material prevents strain and injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The keyboard drawer can also be equipped with a mechanism that allows easy adjustment of the tilt angle for even better customization.
A monitor arm, such as the M2.1 model from Humanscale, is another key component of an ergonomic workstation. It allows you to easily and quickly position the screen at the optimal height and distance from your eyes. Ergonomic monitor positioning is key to preventing neck and back pain, a common ailment for people who spend long hours in front of a computer. As your body position changes, the position of the screen should also change to maintain the correct viewing angle. Adjusting the height and angle of the screen to the sitting and standing positions prevents excessive strain on the neck and eyes.
The M2 monitor arm also offers the ability to adjust the angle of tilt and rotation of the screen very easily, allowing the user to customize its position.
There are various options for mounting the arm to the desk, including a desk clamp, mounting through a hole in the tabletop or a special mounting base, giving you the flexibility to adapt to different workstation configurations.
In addition, some monitor arms, such as the M/Connect 2 series from Humanscale, come with a base that not only stably attaches the arm to the desk, but also acts as a docking station. It has built-in USB and USB-C ports, allowing you to charge your devices and easily connect additional accessories. This solution keeps your desk tidy and eliminates cable clutter.
A footrest is an often underestimated but extremely important piece of ergonomic office equipment. Models such as the FR300 from Humanscale help keep the legs in the correct position, which improves blood circulation and reduces tension in the lower back. Thanks to its adjustable height and angle, the footrest can be perfectly adjusted to the individual user’s needs.
The non-slip surface and stable design ensure comfort and safety during use. The footrest can also serve as a subtle exercise tool, helping to activate leg muscles and improve circulation during prolonged sitting, especially the award-winning FR500, which encourages the user to gently rock their feet to stimulate circulation.
Investing in ergonomic gadgets for the office is a step toward improving work quality and health. A height-adjustable electric desk, an ergonomic chair, a keyboard drawer, a monitor arm and a footrest are all products that significantly affect the comfort and efficiency of your work. By choosing these solutions, you take care of your health and create a friendly workplace.
