Creating Safe and Comfortable Work Environments for Hybrid Workers

The work landscape has undergone a significant transformation, with hybrid work becoming more prevalent than ever, formalised by the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act of 2023. This shift towards flexible work arrangements, while advantageous, highlights the crucial need to manage the health and well-being of remote and hybrid workers.

Understanding the challenges faced by remote workers, particularly in ergonomics, provides valuable insights for businesses embracing this new work pattern. Observations from experts in the field highlight common issues reported among hybrid workers, shedding light on areas that require attention and improvement.

  1. Back pain: Prolonged sitting in unsuitable chairs or poor posture can lead to back pain, aggravated by the absence of ergonomic equipment.

  2. Eye strain: Extended screen time can cause digital eye strain, characterised by symptoms like dry eyes and headaches, worsened by inadequate lighting and screen positioning.

  3. Neck pain: Improperly adjusted monitors or keyboards can strain neck muscles, leading to chronic discomfort.

  4. Repetitive strain injury: Continuous typing or mouse usage can result in injuries to hands, wrists, and arms due to improper support and positioning.

Remote workers are entitled to a safe work environment. Employers must ensure a healthy workspace to prevent injuries, as negligence may lead to compensation claims, an outcome employers aim to avoid.
