How Comfortable Is Your Chair?

24 January 2019 - Mladá fronta Dnes, the Czech Republic's most-read newspaper, comments that employers are offering more benefits than ever before and emphasizes that, in their view, healthy sitting is essential for office job satisfaction. It has become popular for employers to allow employees to choose their own desks and chairs. The article cites a recent survey of the Czech population, according to which one third of all Czechs believe their chair is inadequate to their health needs, and another thirty percent admit to being ill-informed on the topic, despite the general consensus being that a sedentary lifestyle may affect health and that related health problems are becoming more common.
