How do you create a healthy work environment?

Do you want to get the best out of your employees and tackle absenteeism? A healthy working environment is essential in this regard. This means that you pay attention to the design of a workspace, among other things. Think of special furniture, which promotes a healthy posture. When you adopt unhealthy postures for a longer period of time, painful muscle and joint complaints arise. In addition, this can lead to fatigue and poor concentration.

Many people spend a large part of their working day sitting. When you sit statically for a longer period of time, your muscles are overloaded. To create a healthy working environment, an ergonomic posture is very important. Ergonomics involves tailoring the work environment to the needs of employees. It aims to promote their efficiency and well-being. Implementing ergonomic principles not only benefits employees, but also employers.

Get the best out of your employees

A good sitting posture helps in increasing work performance. Do you want to get the best out of your employees? Then invest in ergonomic seating solutions. When your employees sit comfortably and ergonomically, their concentration will increase. They are not distracted by annoying pain and the body also adopts an active posture. As a result, people work faster and more efficiently. In addition, good posture promotes blood circulation, which keeps you extra alert. You will see that your employees are less tired. This allows them to perform their tasks longer and with more pleasure.

Reducing absenteeism through better sitting posture

Too often, people have to deal with physical complaints and injuries, which lead to absenteeism. Some of these complaints can easily be remedied by the implementation of ergonomic solutions. Back pain, neck pain, and repetitive strain injury (RSI) are common and are associated with poor sitting posture. These are annoying health problems, which do not benefit productivity. In addition, they can lead to long-term absenteeism.

You can significantly reduce absenteeism in the workplace with the help of ergonomic furniture. A good seat height and proper back support already make a big difference. Score's ergonomic seating solutions reduce pressure on the spine, relieve the muscles and reduce the risk of injury.

Your responsibility as an employer

As an employer, you are responsible for a safe and healthy working environment. Promoting a good sitting posture is definitely part of this. By implementing ergonomic principles, you take your responsibility in this. This is how you keep your employees healthy and happy. Moreover, it can save costs in the long run, because you reduce absenteeism.

Occupational Health & Safety Inspection

Creating a healthy working environment is not only a matter of principle—it’s essential for the well‑being of your employees and your company’s long‑term success. It’s also a legal requirement under the Dutch Working Conditions Act (Arbowet).

The importance of an ergonomic working environment—including proper sitting posture—is recognized by the Netherlands Labour Authority, which ensures that employers comply with health and safety laws. Employers who fail to provide an ergonomic workplace risk enforcement actions, such as fines. Complying with these requirements helps you avoid such legal consequences.
