Working From Home – No #1 Tip: Regular Microbreaks

07th April, 2020
Natalie Fort
Share with your friends

Many of us have now started our new working from home life and with remote working comes a new set of challenges around employee health and safety.

Today’s No #1 Tip is to take regular Microbreaks.

A microbreak is a break that lasts anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, and is meant to be taken frequently – as often as every 10 minutes. Evidence suggests microbreaks actually reduce muscle fatigue by as much as 20-50 percent in an eight-hour day. Frequent breaks are better than less frequent longer breaks, so a 5-10 minute break after 50-60 minutes is better than a 20 minute break every 3 hours.

Set up automated daily reminders to ensure you take your microbreaks throughout the day.

Want to know more about setting up “Working from Home” arrangements using the latest technologies to manage;

  • WFH Safety Policies and Agreements
  • Sign On/Off with a mobile App with geolocation reporting & instant notifications
  • Dashboards to see who is signed on/off
  • Send our instant messages to all employees
  • Set regular reminders
  • Plus much more….

Washing your hands for 20 seconds before and after touching objects in the workplace can certainly reduce the number of germs but can not eliminate them. You can eliminate the transfer of germs by reducing and removing touchpoints where possible. One way to reduce the number of touchpoints for employees, visitors and contractors is by implementing hygienic touchless sign in options. You can even take it a step further and integrate a touchless sign in system with your access control to automatically open doors using an access control system like […]
