Juliane Schenk
Wellbeing officer

An impressively effective tool for significantly more ergonomics at VDU workstations. When fully concentrating on the activity, it is a real help when the attention to one's own sitting posture is taken over by the Isa. This is clearly matched by the positive feedback from our employees. A valuable enrichment!

Uncomplicated and effective. A prime example of useful digitalisation.

I was surprised at how accurately Isa recognized a misalignment in my shoulders. It was only 2-3 cm. With targeted neck and shoulder exercises and slightly lowering the desk, my neck and shoulders now feel much better.

Flexible, location-independent and individual - Isa is in tune with the times and has a wide reach, rarely has an offer been booked up so quickly. Our employees are thrilled!

Frequently asked questions about ergonomics in the workplace

An ergonomically designed workstation in the office includes several elements such as an adjustable office chair, a height-adjustable desk, an optimised screen position and good lighting. The arrangement of the keyboard and mouse should also be ergonomically designed to avoid unnecessary strain.

Yes, ergonomic equipment in the workplace is mandatory as part of occupational health and safety. The Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Workplace Ordinance require employers to ensure the health and safety of their employees. This also means that workplaces must be designed in such a way that they minimise health risks. 

Poor posture at work can lead to various complaints, in particular back pain, neck and shoulder pain and pain in the arms and wrists. In the long term, it can also lead to serious illnesses such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Poor ergonomics in the workplace is often the main cause of reduced performance and leads to considerable absenteeism in companies. 

Make sure that your office chair is height-adjustable. Adjust the seat height so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are at a right angle. The backrest should support your lower back to promote good posture. The seat should be adjusted so that you can sit comfortably and your thighs are slightly inclined, which supports optimal ergonomics in the office. Chairs with armrests are usually better for sitting posture than those without.
 
Recommendation: Use a digital assistant like Isa to be reminded of your ergonomic posture at the right moment.

To achieve an ergonomic posture at work, sit at your desk with a straight back and relaxed shoulders. The screen should be positioned about 50-70 cm away from your eyes. The top line of the screen should be just below the horizontal visual axis. Your forearms should rest at a right angle to your upper body and your wrists should be kept straight to minimise the strain of typing and working at the computer for long periods. You can also use a footrest or wrist rests to achieve a comfortable sitting position.

When using multiple screens, each monitor should be positioned at the same height and at the same distance from each other to ensure a natural head and body posture. This promotes ergonomics in the office and avoids strain caused by repeated turning or tilting of the head.

For ergonomic working in the home office, you should use an ergonomic chair and a height-adjustable desk. Make sure that the screen is adjusted correctly, that you maintain the correct sitting posture and that your desk is at the right angle to the window. Incorporate regular breaks and exercise into your working day to promote blood circulation and avoid tension.

It is recommended that you take a short break every 30 minutes, during which you should stand up, stretch and move around. This promotes blood circulation, reduces the risk of muscle tension and supports sustainable ergonomics in the workplace. The 20-20-20 rule also applies to eye relaxation. Every 20 minutes, you should look at a point 20 feet (6m) away for 20 seconds. Of course, you can also simply look out of the window. 

Regular movement during work is important to promote blood circulation, prevent musculoskeletal disorders and increase concentration. An ergonomic workplace design should therefore integrate breaks and movement elements to increase general well-being.
