Smarter Guide to Employee Wellbeing
Work in a way that fits you

Employee Wellbeing

Choose efficiency gains over
work-related pains

It makes good business sense for employees to be as effective

as possible – which means any workplace suffering comes at a

price. People achieve more when they’re less distracted, feel more

engaged when they’re comfortable, and have fewer sick days when

they’re free from physical pain.

Taking early measures to reduce discomfort and injury at work

offers a significant opportunity to increase morale, attendance

and productivity. With Kensington’s ergonomic solutions, you can

address the root cause of any potential posture-related problems

now - and see the benefits into the long term.

EMPLOYEE WELLBEING

Our unique SmartFit® system can be accurately adjusted to every

person in every workspace for maximum comfort, without high

costs or complexity. It’s the perfect fit for individual employees –

and the ideal boost for businesses.

Align people with positivity

A busy, yet agile workforce is a positive for business, but it can

have a negative impact on employees and their output. With

time pressures leading to mental stress and

flexible working practices that cause physical strain,

it’s important that people are more empowered to take control.

EMPLOYEE WELLBEING

EMPLOYEE WELLBEING

Good ergonomics impact employee happiness
and retention - important sources of
competitive advantage

The right office furniture and accessories can help reduce

the amount of time wasted during the working day – and by

making user-adjustable choices, employees can customise any

environment to improve their posture, mood and stress levels.

Kensington’s solutions are developed for everyone, yet designed

to fit the physical dimensions and diverse needs of

individuals. With SmartFit®, each office workspace can be

adapted to offer valuable support to each individual employee

within the workforce.

Posture-related health problems are becoming more
prevalent and are shown to have a staggering impact
on productivity, engagement and happiness

Many companies attribute the high incidence of MSDs
to an increased work demand on individual employees

Mobile Comfort

A smarter way to support

EMPLOYEE WELLBEING

EMPLOYEE WELLBEING

Laptops, tablets and smartphones are designed to support

flexible working rather than ergonomic practices. As such, the

extended use of mobile devices is likely to have a physical toll

on employees - which could seriously affect their health and

performance.

With Kensington’s ergonomic solutions, every personal

workspace can be adapted to fully support flexible workers –

wherever and however they work. Our wrist and back rests

protect against repetitive stress while reading or typing on

smaller devices, while laptop stands reduce eye and neck strain.

Common pain points for
office workers

Neck pain

Neck & shoulder pain is primarily caused by

incorrect monitor height and placement.

Adjustable risers and stands provide both a safe

and simple way of elevating comfort levels.

Back pain

Lower back pain is often the result of a poor

posture when sitting down. Chair adjustment and

back rests offer real comfort gains and encourage

the correct posture.

Wrist pain

Wrist pain can severely hinder productivity. Wrist

rests for mice and keyboards elevate the arm and

wrist to the correct position to manage and

minimise the effects and risk of RSIs and carpal

tunnel syndrome. Trackballs are an effective

EMPLOYEE WELLBEING

means of tackling the effects of carpal tunnel

syndrome, replacing wrist movement with

finger control.

Leg pain

Poor ergonomics can lead to ankles and legs

being forced to bear more load than is necessary.

Footrests help to maintain the correct posture,

ensuring thighs and feet are supported. Rocking

and textured footrests benefit blood circulation

and movement while seated

Supporting Employees

Organisations are actively
improving wellbeing

In Australia, wellbeing requests are already more common,

with 61% of IT professionals reporting requests

(most commonly sit/ stand desks and monitor risers).

A possible indication that Australian firms have a better

understanding of wellbeing as a business productivity issue

and that employees are more aware of the options open

to them.

EMPLOYEE WELLBEING

Fit-for-purpose workstations can have a significant effect

on productivity. Future EU regulations are likely to include

increased employee wellbeing legal compliance issues for

European employers, making now the ideal time to speak to us

about our employee wellbeing solutions.

Reduce Wrist Pain

Mouse Pads & Wrist Rests: Best Practice

Position your mouse within easy reach, to

prevent over extending your arm.

Sit upright and close to the desk, so your mouse arm

is not stretched.

Support for wrists and forearms reduces the

load on the upper limbs & shoulders as well

as unnecessary extension and flex of the wrist.

Rest your fingers lightly on the buttons and

do not press them hard.

Reduce Back Pain

Back Rests & Backpacks: Best Practice

The backrest of your chair should not give

and lean back separately from the seat of the chair.

If you do wish to lean back and relax, the

seat and backrest should lean back together from a joint

beneath your seat.

Height of a backpack should extend approximately 2 inches

below your shoulder blades to waist level or slightly below.

Let a roller bag take the strain on business trips and commutes.

Reduce Neck Pain

Stands: Best Practice

Ensure that when the monitor is placed on

to a stand it is at arm’s length away from you.

If you use two screens, position them side

by side, and at equal space in front of you.

Choose a height adjustable stand to allow

optimum screen position for your personal

comfort.

Reduce Leg Pain

Foot Rests: Best Practice

Place your feet on a footrest and split time between

sitting & standing to relieve the pull on your lower back.

When a footrest is properly positioned, you should feel light

pressure under the front of the thighs.

Foot rests should be movable, but heavy enough to stay in

place when feet are resting on it.

Ensure that the footrest is wide and long

enough to allow you to change the position

of your feet from time to time.
