During this time our workspaces are constantly evolving—whether you are working from home or beginning to transition back into an office. Without designated workspaces, ergonomics can be one of the first things to disappear. Yet, having an ergonomic workspace wherever you’re working is important for physical and mental health and productivity.

In this Zoom webinar you will learn from Peter Johnson, UW Occupational and Environmental Exposure Sciences professor, on how to best work with what you have to set up your workspace for comfort and productivity, including the mechanics of how to self-assess and evaluate the ergonomic set-up of your current workstation and the pros and cons of common at home set-ups.
