Smart working: how to foster well being when working from home
In these emergency weeks, more and more people find themselves working in Smart Working mode: work sessions from home very often take place on improvised workstations, on the kitchen table or on armchairs and sofas in the living room.
In this context, back pain, muscle pain and postural problems are around the corner: to avoid them, it is essential to use ergonomic sessions and to alternate between working moments in an upright position and sitting.
In the last five years, Estel Group has promoted and disseminated its concept of Italian Smart Office all over the world: a new idea of organization of the office space, characterized by flexibility and innovation, with the absence of desks assigned in favor of ad hoc work areas for each type of task.
This concept goes hand in hand with the diffusion of smart working: in a context in which work from home and on the move become predominant for companies, it becomes essential to make available to its employees adequate spaces, with workstations for individual work and meeting spaces and more or less informal collaboration.
The space planning of these work environments inherits numerous characteristics that were once the prerogative of home furnishings: comfort, connectivity and functionality become fundamental factors in the choice of furnishings and in defining the layouts.
At the same time, it becomes important for “smart” workers to have the best tools for working from home and on remote.
