Tips on Working from Home

Many of us who used to work in CEMEX hub offices have been working from home for a year now. It has different challenges and stresses.  One is an ergonomic one involving posture and workspace the other is psychosocial.

To reduce ergonomic stress, try and make sure your workspace and posture are as correct as possible.  Think about the lighting and temperature of your workspace too.

It is important to take breaks from your desk or screen.  Do a short desk workout doing each movement for 10-20 seconds (see image). Stand up during phone calls or meetings, move your body and step outside for short screen breaks.  It can be lonely working at home as well so make time to have a call or speak to someone each day.
