Ergonomics is a vital element in government workspaces, helping to enhance employee health, productivity, and overall satisfaction. By minimizing physical strain and preventing injuries through adjustable workstations, ergonomic furniture and tools, and inclusive designs, workers can perform effectively while reducing absenteeism and healthcare costs.

Prioritizing ergonomics can help foster productivity and ensures compliance with accessibility standards, creating healthy and adaptive environments for employees. In today’s dynamic work era, investing in proper ergonomic setups can not only benefit individual workers but also help strengthen performance and thus public service delivery, positioning government agencies, departments, and employees for long-term success.

Read on and learn how ergonomic solutions and easy-to-implement workspace designs can help your team.

The Logi Ergo Lab
"Ho fem millor quan ens sentim millor".
That core, systemic belief underpins the rigorous work we do at the Logitech Ergo Lab, based in Switzerland. We take a human-centered and scientific approach to support the development and reinvention of tools that help people feel better in the office, in the field, or working remotely.

Our researchers collaborate with academics, practitioners, designers, and product teams to make the future of work more people-friendly, with ergonomic products and solutions that reduce muscle strain and improve posture, comfort, and overall well-being.

Productivity Meets Ergonomic Design

Employees spend an average of 96.1 hours per week in front of screens—equivalent to four full days. Over a year, this amounts to 208 days of screen time or 57% of the entire year.1 That extended amount of time can lead to more ergonomic concerns. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are responsible for over 1 million workplace injuries annually in the U.S., costing an estimated $20 billion in workers’ compensation claims.² It is estimated that as much as 33% of workers compensation costs in the US are due to ergonomic-related injuries. Research from around the globe also finds that over 60% of all people who work with computers experience pain from repetitive strain injuries in the wrist, hand, neck, and shoulders.³

Ergonomics isn’t just critical for physical wellness. It can also impact impact productivity. 60% of workers who missed work due to musculoskeletal injuries experienced reduced productivity after they returned to work.⁴

Decreased productivity from ergonomic injuries doesn’t just affect individual workers—it ripples throughout entire teams and departments. As tasks pile up and output decreases, the overall performance of the department can suffer. For departments that depend on speed and efficiency, especially where downtime is costly, ergonomic injuries pose a significant threat to maintaining productivity and meeting mission objectives.
No matter the setup or where work takes place, simple actions can help improve employee well-being and enhance productivity.

Ergonomic Strategies

Considerations to improve wellbeing and productivity

• Postura
  When laptops are used on a desk, the head angles down by about 10 degrees. When placed in a person’s lap, that angle increases by 5 degrees. That tilt makes the head feel double its weight putting extra strain on the neck and shoulders.5
• Solució
  Col·loqueu les pantalles de portàtils i tauletes a l'alçada dels ulls, sobretot durant més temps viewperíodes d'ingrés.
• Banish Glare
  Glare can increase eye strain. Eyes adapt to the brightest level of light, so it becomes harder to see details in duller and darker areas.
• Solució
  Place screens perpendicular to windows. Close curtains or shades while working.
• Moviment
  The human body is not designed to sit or stand all day, it is designed to move. Quick movement breaks show marked improvement in cognitive function, reading comprehension, and productivity.6
• Solució
  Switch between sitting and standing in 30-60 minute intervals. Walking around while standing is even better.
• Qualitat de l'aire
  CO2 levels rise surprisingly fast, especially in crowded spaces. High levels of CO2 can result in drowsiness, headaches, poor concentration, loss of attention, and more.
• Solució
  Obriu una finestra durant uns minuts, diverses vegades al dia, per deixar entrar aire fresc.

Ergonomic Solutions for Mobile and Hybrid Work
Les configuracions mòbils permeten una major flexibilitat, però també augmenten les possibilitats de treballar en condicions subòptimes. Això augmenta el risc de malestar o fins i tot dolor. El coll i les espatlles són especialment vulnerables.
Read on for realistic tips that employees can practice to optimize workstations for ergonomic impact.

Optimizing Setups With Laptops and Tablets
With laptops and tablets, the screen and input are tethered together, forcing an ergonomic trade-off: Adjusting one to improve ergonomics may worsen the ergonomics of the other.

• Adjusting to the screen
  Si la pantalla es troba a una distància i alçada ergonòmica, pot ser difícil arribar-hi, i la postura de la mà i el canell pot ser incòmoda sense l'ús de perifèrics externs. Això pot augmentar el risc de malestar i tensió.
• Adjusting to the input
  If the device is placed so that input devices are used comfortably, then the screen will likely be too close to the employee, and too low, increasing the risk of eye strain and the risk of neck and shoulder strain.

Solució
Laptop, table stands, and external mice and keyboards such as the Logitech Ergo M575 and Ergo K860, provide ergonomic benefits. A lifted screen encourages a more natural neck posture and helps reduce neck and shoulder strain, while an ergonomic mouse and split ergonomic keyboard can help minimize movement, maximize comfort, and offer better posture, less strain, and more support. Because these screens tend to be smaller, adjusting the font size can also help reduce eye strain.

Positioning tablets

• Eviteu posar les tauletes a les faldes o agafar-les amb les mans.
• Place tablets on a surface (table or desk) to reduce wrist strain and neck strain from looking down at the screen.
• Col·loqueu les tauletes a la distància dels braços per reduir la fatiga ocular i augmenteu la mida del tipus de lletra per veure'l millor si cal.
• Use a flexible kickstand, like that found in the Logitech Rugged Folio, with 40° of tilt for the right angle for the task at hand.

Adjusting to the work

• When reading, watching, and typing with an integrated physical keyboard, use the steeper angle on a stand, and avoid placing the tablet flat on a table.
•  Si cal, col·loqueu l'ordinador portàtil o la tauleta amb llibres per reduir la fatiga ocular i cervical.
• When drawing, writing, or typing on a virtual keyboard, use the lower angle of the stand, or lay the device flat on a table for a better hand and wrist position.

Headsets for Effective Communication
Headsets and external microphones with good sound quality and noise cancellation can help provide more effective communication. Using headsets, especially those with built in microphones, offer a number of ergonomic and well-being benefits.

Beneficis

• Employees are less likely to lean towards the computer or tablet to hear or be heard, which helps reduce strain on eyes, neck, and back.
• Wireless headphones allow employees to move around while listening, which helps to avoid prolonged stationary positions.

Consideracions

• The World Health Organization recommends that sound levels should be adjusted to less than 75 decibels (or no more than 60%of the maximum volume).⁵
• Regular breaks are recommended, especially when employees wear headsets for extended periods.

Ergonomic Solutions for Desktops
Technology for desktops is important too. The right tech can save energy, help employees focus, and promote overall well-being. Using external peripherals—like an external screen, webcam, mouse, and keyboard—can create an optimal desk setup and offer microadjustments that can make a big difference.

The Ideal Setup

• Extern Weblleva
  Un extern webcam like the TAA-compliant Logitech Brio 505 placed on top of an external screen rather than on a laptop helps employees look straight ahead. This improves neck posture and reduces neck and shoulder strain.
• Pantalla externa
  Positioning the laptop at the right height and distance reduces the need to bend the neck. To improve posture and minimize neck, shoulder, and eye strain, place the laptop on a stand.
• External Mouse and Keyboard
  External peripherals like the Logitech Lift Mouse and Wave Keys allow employees to select the device that is the right size for them and with the right functionalities for their unique tasks. This encourages long-lasting comfort and productivity.
• Headset and External Microphone
  Using a headset like the Logitech H390 or Zone 305 (with a built-in or external mic) ensures that employees can hear and are heard better, and reduces the need to lean forward which can put strain on your back.

Posture and Positioning in the Office or Working  From Home
No matter what setup an employee chooses, these guidelines should be the aim.

• Place feet flat on the floor with knees, ankles, and hips at about 90° angles.
• Keep elbows at about 90° when typing or using a mouse.
• Proporcioneu suport a la part baixa de l'esquena amb respatller o coixins.
• Doneu suport a les cuixes ajustant la safata del seient o asseieu-vos més enrere a la cadira.
• Avoid crossing legs, sit up straight, and change positions from time to time.

By addressing common challenges in office, field, and hybrid setups, proper ergonomic practices across government workspaces can help boost productivity also while enhancing employee well-being, supporting accessibility, and lowering costs related to absenteeism and healthcare.
