“We spend a big portion of our lives working, so it’s essential to make sure that we pay attention to our posture during this time to avoid injury and illness. For employers, it makes sense economically to ensure your workers have information and equipment they need to minimise any discomfort that could lead to long-term damage and subsequent sick days, which cost your business money. Of course, it is up to each individual to look after their own health.”
