Achieving Employee Wellness in 2020

In modern office environments, employees are accustomed to flexible workstyles. From collaborating in a common area or co-working location to working from a home office, today’s workers embrace—and expect—the ability to choose how, when, and where they complete their tasks. Even with employees open to working outside their assigned workstations, many organizations struggle to support their employees’ physical and mental health in traditional, sedentary office environments.

They were experiencing muscle loss and vision degradation, as well as hampered productivity, fatigue, and loss of mental acuity and focus.
