Ergonomics is such an underrated, or at least not very apparent, part of work (any type of work, from desksto kitchens to factories) and life in general. Most people invest a fair amount of money on taking care of our phones or computers, but usually not as much on taking care of ourselves, so it's great when companies prioritize ergonomics, taking care of their people through mostly small but impactful changes

Home office worker here: as someone with occasionally 6+ hours of back to back meetings a day, the only solution for me was completely avoid sitting by promoting my desk to a standing one. Then I do calf stretches, occasional bending of the torso etc. Comes a lot more natural when standing compared to sitting.
