The Crucial Role of Ergonomic Hybrid Work Setups: Promoting Health and Productivity

In the wake of the global shift towards hybrid work models, designing ergonomic work setups at both home and office environments has become an essential consideration. This strategic approach not only prioritises the health of employees but also contributes to enhanced productivity and happier colleagues. Acknowledging the multifaceted advantages of ergonomic setups underscores their pivotal role in shaping the future of work.

Health and Comfort

Ergonomics revolves around creating work environments that optimise the physical and psychological well-being of employees. A well-designed ergonomic setup aligns the body naturally, mitigating the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and repetitive strain injuries.

By providing height adjustable chairs and desks, monitor arms, wrist supports and other ergonomic accessories in the office and at home, employers can provide the best environment for their team wherever they choose to work.

Enhanced Productivity

Productivity and ergonomics share an inseparable bond. When employees are comfortable and free from discomfort, they can channel their energy and focus into their tasks effectively.

Ergonomic setups promote better concentration, reducing the likelihood of distractions due to discomfort or pain. The result is higher output, improved quality of work, and a positive impact on overall team efficiency. This is particularly crucial in hybrid work models, where maintaining consistent productivity requires seamless transitions between remote and office work.

Healthy Workstation Assessment

It's a legal requirement for all businesses (EU Directive 90/270/EEC) to undertake regular Workstation Risk Assessments to ensure that employees are working in safety and comfort - whether working in or out of the office. The assessment should consider everything about your working environment, from your desk setup to the amount of time spent seated and inactive.

Portable Ergonomic Solutions

The rise of hybrid working has led to some employees struggling with unsuitable working environments while working from home. Thankfully, there are new solutions available to employers which enable them to invest in their employee’s health wherever they work.

Portable ergonomic accessories, such as the Breyta carry case and flat folding laptop risers, mean employees can enjoy a more comfortable ergonomic setup even when they are on the move. It’s never been easier for employers to provide the best ergonomic environment for their colleagues, benefitting from healthier, happier, and more productive staff.


An ergonomic working environment is more important than ever due to the hybrid nature of modern work. Ergonomics ensures the well-being and productivity of employees whether they're in the office or at home. Properly designed workspaces and ergonomic equipment promote comfort, prevent health issues, and enhance focus, fostering success in this flexible work model.
