This document discusses several ergonomic challenges facing workplaces including laptop use, under-desk storage, sound in open plans, lighting needs, and multi-generational workstyles. It provides solutions to these challenges such as using laptops as CPUs with separate keyboards and monitors, providing adjustable desks and seating, allowing standing workstations, and using sound masking and modular furniture to address noise and collaboration needs. Resources from various ergonomic product companies are also listed to help implement these solutions.

New ways to work, new challenges Totally mobile computing Cloud storage More mobile workforce Pressure to reduce real estate cost and carbon footprint per employee Increasing collaboration both on projects and documents
Major Challenges Accommodating multi-generational workstyles Millennials Are multi-taskers Prefer e-mail or IM to face-to-face conversation Not easily phased by noise or commotion Less prone to back problems and other ailments Older generations Tend to be more linear Prefer phone or in-person conversation Need more focused concentration work areas More prone to back problems Require more light to see
Ergonomic Challenge #1 Ergonomically, laptop computers force bad posture and should not be used at a desk all day long.
Ergonomic Challenge #2 Under-desk Storage LEED-mandated lower heights have led to storage based systems with low open bookshelves. These are back injuries waiting to happen!
Ergonomic Challenge #3 Sound in Open Plan cuts both ways Distracting to many people For newer employees, good way to disseminate collective knowledge through overheard conversations For managers, good way to catch mistakes being made
Ergonomic Challenge #4 Light and energy usage As we age we require geometrically more light to see Lighting uses 26% of average office building power Age 20 Age 60
Laptop Use Response Treat the laptop as a CPU or monitor at most Separate keyboard and mouse: Goldtouch Go is small, light and protected to fit in laptop bag Raise monitor height with thin riser
Continue to provide adjustability At the office, even at unassigned desks, provide at least some that have keyboard trays and larger monitors on arms with easy plug-in for laptop without docking.
Sit or Stand Give people the opportunity to work standing up as well as sitting down. Even without a treadmill, standing can help users lose substantial weight over the course of a year, as well as relieve back pain.
