Office ergonomics is the practice of designing and arranging your workspace to promote comfort, safety, and productivity. By following some simple ergonomic principles, you can reduce your risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, and back pain.
Below is the visualized recommendation from Mayo Clinics.

- Choose a comfortable chair. Your chair should provide good lumbar support and allow you to sit with your feet flat on the floor and your arms at a comfortable height. If you can't find a chair that meets your needs, you may want to consider getting a standing desk or a balance board.
- Adjust your monitor. Your monitor should be at eye level, or slightly below, so that you don't have to tilt your head up or down to see it. You may also want to consider using a monitor arm to position your monitor more easily.
- Position your keyboard and mouse. Your keyboard and mouse should be at a comfortable height, and your elbows should be at a 90-degree angle when you type. You may also want to consider using a wrist rest to support your wrists.
- Take breaks. Get up and move around every 20-30 minutes to avoid muscle fatigue. You can also do some simple stretches to improve your circulation and reduce your risk of developing MSDs.
- Keep your workspace clean and organized. A cluttered workspace can lead to stress and fatigue, which can make it difficult to focus on your work.
- Use natural light whenever possible. Natural light has been shown to improve mood, productivity, and sleep quality.
By following these tips, you can create a more comfortable and productive work environment.
