We typically see workplaces champion ergonomics because we know that comfort at work is non-negotiable. Ergonomic workspaces include:
- Adjustable chairs and desks: Ensuring every employee has an adjustable chair and desk promotes correct posture and reduces strain.

Wellbeing platforms typically acknowledges the importance of mental health support. Key components could include:
- Counselling services: Offering in-house or subsidized external counselling can aid in managing work-related stress.
