The physical pain and discomfort of a long work day is inevitable not just in an Industrial setup with heavy machinery and equipment but even in office spaces. Staying in one position doing repetitive motion is typical at a desk. Such routines end up in conditions like neck, back and shoulder pain, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases and so on. Studies show that such diseases arising out of a desk job can take 7 quality years off of your lifespan. Fortunately, the research also discovered that you can reduce such ill-effects by simply getting up and moving around at least once every hour and a minimum 30 minute of moderate exercise each day. A short stretching routine at your workstation can drastically reduce your pain and discomfort at work.

Ergonomics’ prime focus is to align the work environment and the employees towards operational efficiency, employee safety and welfare.

Work is never stress-free. It is a dream for everyone to have a job with no to little stress. Not every dream becomes a reality. We can only make a rational choice to implement a few techniques and strategies to combat stress at work.
