About this session
Working from home does not always mean working from a dedicated office. Kitchen tables, sofas, spare rooms and shared spaces often become temporary workstations, while laptops and multiple devices can encourage awkward screen, keyboard and seating positions.
This practical session helps participants improve the setup they already have rather than assuming everyone can purchase specialist furniture.
They adjust screen height, seating support, keyboard and mouse placement, lighting and frequently used equipment, then test how the changes affect comfort and usability.
Participants also build movement and position changes into the working day and identify which longer-term upgrades would make the greatest difference.
They leave with a practical home-workspace plan that can adapt to small spaces, shared rooms, hybrid schedules and changing physical needs.
