“My opportunity to give back”: James Harrison is one of the Posturite volunteers for the Stroke Association, and we’re very proud of him for supporting people through a tough time. He’s a Connect and Chat Volunteer, and he has first of all been telephoning a gentleman who is a stroke survivor in his 70’s. “My first telephone match was a great character and we both looked forward to the conversations each week. We would often talk about his large family, the canal boat that he lived on and our planned adventures around the world. Both having common interests including travel, hiking and outdoor activities allowed the conversations to flow well. He is recovering well from the stroke. This volunteering was a very enjoyable experience. I was nervous before the first call and did not quite know what to expect, but once we got going it was a positive outcome. I am now looking forward to receiving my next match in the future and being a weekly outlet of conversation to somebody in need.” James sadly lost a close family member earlier this year as a result of a stroke, which fuelled his desire to volunteer with the charity. He saw it as an opportunity to give back and provide for others, whilst also developing his own knowledge surrounding this often life-changing medical condition. Thank you to James, who is one of our busy DSE Assessors. Posturite is an official partner to the Stroke Association and we are fully committed to fundraising and volunteering for this important charity and raising awareness of #stroke. Sarah Price, Nathan Luetchford, Naseem Hussain and Tracy Hughes are also in this #volunteering team – big thanks to them!

What has made the cut for the Top 10 Most Useful Gifts For A Homeworker? Nothing wrong with a few silly presents under the 🎄 tree, but we think that people love a gadget - and so an ergonomic gadget will be a hit too. Help make that homeworker in your life more comfortable every day! We’ve featured: • A stylish blue-light-reducing desk lamp by Ocushield® • A pure white ergonomic mouse by Humanscale • A premium ergonomic headset from Jabra • A clever little laptop stand, as featured in the Financial Times ‘Six ways to improve your posture’ • The no-more-Tech-Neck tablet stand by StarTech.com • A daylight-simulating lamp by Lumi • Send in an angel this Christmas with a Back Angel™ Back Support by Fellowes Brands • A super cool headset from JPL • A gorgeous homeworker chair • An extra small but perfectly-formed home office desk See all these ideas here: https://lnkd.in/eaE8mSQE 🎅 No more novelty socks, we say…

👎 The commute came top of things people dislike about office life in our new survey. But what do they like? 1. Social interaction 2. Collaboration 3. Networking 4. Separating home and work life 5. Change of scenery 6. Workspace setup and access to equipment 7. Buzz and energy 8. Productivity from being face-to-face 9. Morale-boosting camaraderie 10. Faster internet 11. Heating and air conditioning 12. More interesting lunch Yes, lunch! ♥️ 🍜 In our new survey ‘The real picture of hybrid working’, participants don’t hold back on what they tolerate, detest, enjoy and appreciate about office life. See the results here: https://lnkd.in/ewNEE9sk There are #ReturnsToOffice happening in certain quarters, so it’s the ideal time to look at these survey results to listen to the zeitgeist of today’s hybrid workers. We can then respond accordingly, and act to make offices enjoyable, comfortable, inspiring and productive workplaces. A few of the pro-office comments: “It boosts my morale to have people to talk to.” “I like being with nice, friendly hardworking people.” “I enjoy being more active and doing more steps in an office day.” And a few anti-office: “I have issues with sensory sensitivity so the office is often too overwhelmingly noisy, bright, and generally busy for me.” “After the effort to sort childcare, dog walkers, proper clothes and transport, you find yourself in an almost empty office talking to people in other offices via video link.” Are the results what you expected? #WorkCulture #HappinessAtWork #RTO

“Exciting for my career”: The University of Derby has awarded our colleague Graham Ashton. BSc. GSR. MSc. Grad.CIEHF. his MSc in #Ergonomics and Human Factors and we couldn’t be prouder of him! “I'm pleased that I am now able to contribute on more complex ergonomic issues and work within new areas.” The course took Graham 3 years, studying part time alongside his Posturite role as Account Manager. “I'm thrilled to have completed the course and widened my knowledge around ergonomics and human factors, especially having had two new additions to the family during this time!” More good news is that Graham has become a graduate member of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF) and will be working towards achieving Chartership over the next few years. “To be part of this growing institute is exciting and will help me make a positive impact along the way.” In his Masters course, Graham completed modules in: • Fundamentals of Ergonomics and Human Factors • Cognitive Ergonomics and Psychology • Physical Ergonomics • Investigation and Analysis • Systems Ergonomics • Contemporary Issues in Ergonomics and #HumanFactors His final year project was independent research he conducted around hybrid workers being sufficiently supported.
