As part of our monthly wellbeing webinar series, Sequoia partnered with Dr. Julie Mulcahy, MSK programs director and physical therapist at Omada, to discuss ergonomic best practices for your workspace.

You can catch up by viewing the recording.

Here are a few takeaways from the webinar:

A comfortable and ergonomic workspace is essential for maximizing efficiency and minimizing discomfort. And a well-designed setup leads to a healthier and more productive environment.

. To create an ergonomic workspace, focus on these key elements:

  • Choose a chair that supports your spine’s natural curve.
  • When typing at your desk, keep your elbows at a 90-degree angle with a clear area underneath.
  • Position your monitor at eye level and an arm’s length away.
  • Keep your keyboard and mouse close to your body with wrists in a neutral position.
  • Take regular breaks and perform stretches.

Embracing ergonomic principles can improve your health, comfort, and productivity. Small workspace changes can lead to significant benefits.
