Working wellness, work wellbeing, healthy work - all buzzy phrases that get tossed around wayyyy too often.
But what does that actually entail?
Sure, sprucing up the space with a plant or artwork or incense, or getting a sit/stand desk, or taking breaks here or there would all make a positive impact - but these are all smaller puzzle pieces that fit into a much larger solution and ecosystem.
There are actually 3 main pillars that work together congruently to create a truly healthy and sustainable working environment.
These three need to work together to get a fully feel-good workspace.
Let's break it down 🏃🏻♀️
BODY: This is everything physical; your body. Here, we emphasize comfort. When you're working, you don't want to strain or stress your body - so many people get injured every year even from desk jobs, from not sitting properly to putting too much strain, repetitive stress, and pressure on their bodies.
The truth is, we're not designed to sit all day. But we also don't necessarily need fancy equipment to feel better.
What is comfort? Comfort is feeling good at the end of the day, not only at the beginning of it. Comfort is feeling supported and relaxed throughout the day, even when working at the desk. Comfort is minimizing pain, or eliminating the source of it when possible. Comfort is knowing you're not quietly breaking down your body as you work.
SPACE: This is your environment. Time and time again, research shows us all the compelling ways how your surroundings have an impact on your physical and mental wellbeing.
Here, we emphasize fit.
Your workspace will shape the landscape of your body and mind as you're working.
Under the space pillar, we craft an environment that SUPPORTS you and your needs. Yes, that includes equipment like your chair, your monitor, your desk, your organizers and folders, your keyboard and mouse. These make up your micro-environment.
