It may sound appealing, but WFH could have drastic consequences for your health. A lack of social contact can take a huge toll on our mental well-being, with many relying on 'water cooler chat' to save them from the despair of loneliness. As if the emotional impact of WFH was not stark enough, unsupportive chairs and make-shift desks are leading to a rise in 'tech neck, ' with muscular niggles becoming a daily ache.

Healthy Habits While Working from Home provides practical, expert-led advice on how to stay physically and mentally well in a remote office while we adapt to the 'new normal.
