People are at the very heart of a business and that is why it is essential for remote home workers to be given the same wellbeing considerations as they would in an office environment.
There is also a duty of care for an employer to look after an employee regardless of where they are working from.
That is why Fusion Spaces has developed the WorkFreeTM assessment method.

Fusion Spaces home working assessment method
In response to the increase in home working Fusion Spaces has developed an assessment method, WorkFreeTM, helping home based and remote workers, work well.
The assessment is based on three important foundations, which will enable employers and employees to achieve the mutually beneficial goal of healthy, happy and effective work.
- Assurance. To enable employers to meet their responsibilities and obligations to ensure that employees have a safe place to work. This includes compliance with legal requirements, and the need to provide the necessary evidence for compliance and benchmarks for continuous improvement.
- Comfort and quality. To ensure that home-based workers can set up an effective and comfortable working environment that suits them, and which gives access to a range of professional quality (but domestic scale) products to support and improve their physical and mental health and wellbeing.
- Freedom and empowerment. To ensure that that home-based workers are empowered to manage their work and space. Employers must respect boundaries of privacy, minimise intrusion into the private space of their employees (physically and digitally), and recognise and respect different domestic and family arrangements without judgement.
If you are a business looking for guidance on this topic please feel free to contact us for further advice or to book an assessment workfree@fusion-spaces.com. You can also download the WorkFreeTM white paper here.

Feeling fatigued

Lack of light and movement
Moving your desk or table near to a window will help introduce natural light into your day which is really important at any time of year but especially beneficial during the short, dark winter months.
Not enough exercise
We know that sedentary working is bad for our health so adding a slow-moving desk treadmill to your set up is a great solution. You can also decrease anxious feelings and up your daily step count and of course this doesn’t replace walking outdoors.
If you find yourself sitting all day and you don’t currently have a rise and fall solution, set a timer for each hour. Take a minimum 10 minute break to stretch your legs and perhaps add a daylight break at the same time.

How can we help you to reduce eye discomfort?
Click on your problem to discover some of our solutions to help you WorkFree™
Tired and dry eyes
The flicker from your desktop screen is a stressor to your body, causing problems like headaches and eye discomfort. Our choice of recommended displays have reduced blue light and are flicker free to increase eye comfort.
Poor Vision
Wearing varifocals can have its unique challenges for viewing your screen comfortably. Positioning your screens on suitable Arms and Mounts is perfect to improve your vision and eye comfort.
Working under poor lighting
Good quality task lighting can increase your eye comfort and help your video conferencing look more professionally lit.
Our time staring at a computer screen is really problematic for our eye health. Take a break from all of your technology and look out of the window or step outside to horizon gaze for 5 minutes each hour.

How can we help help you create a deeper sense of comfort and calm?

Poor indoor air quality
The air that you breathe can have a big impact on your health and when you are at working at home you probably don’t realise what you are breathing in. We have solutions to purify your air, naturally and sustainably, to help you work productively and well.
Loss of human connection
As human animals we struggle to pick up on the natural cues of safety when we engage through a screen. Standing allows you to naturally interact and allows for more active engagement on video calls.
Noise and echo on calls
Lush green planting provides acoustic insulation, improving both phone and video conference calls.
Comfort is something humans need to feel the sense of safety. Next time you are on a video call try using a warm and welcoming tone of voice, smile and nod to give signals that give comfort to others attending the meeting.

Lack of energy
Being able to repurpose a desk or table to be able to stand improves your overall health and wellbeing and can help you feel more energised.
Sleep disturbance
Our sleep and wake cycles, circadian rhythms, are disrupted by artificial light and a lack of natural light. Our Waldmann Biodynamic Lighting solutions work with your body clock to help you feel energised in the daytime and ready to sleep well at night.
We lit the world but we didn’t realise how this would negatively impact our health and wellbeing. Prescribe yourself time in natural daylight, paying particular attention to morning daylight breaks to beat those afternoon energy slumps.

Highly stressed whist working
Stop, breath and look around the space you are working and simply notice what you see? Adding comforting items and lush green planting to your work environment can lower blood pressure and help you feel calmer.
Stressed by lack of daylight
Using good quality task lights, biodynamic lighting and light therapies and dawn simulators can help to reduce seasonal stress.
Anxious on video calls
Adding movement to your day reduces stress and anxiety, so a desk treadmill can be great for helping your nervous system come out of fight or flight. Use it when you work and if anxiety can be a problem on video calls.
Stress, anxiety and trauma are challenges many of us face, so take the time to explore practices such as mindfulness, breathing techniques and music as therapy. And allow nature to comfort you. Enjoy HealthTunes MusicMedicine and you may be interested in the SSP Pathways.

Low mood in Autumn/Winter
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a recognised medical condition that impacts physical and mental health, particularly in Autumn and Winter. Good quality Light Therapy and Dawn Simulators are scientifically proven to help you feel better and wake up more refreshed.
Spending too much time indoors
By using daylight monitors you are able to monitor how much or how little light you are exposed to for your wellbeing. This can motivate you to get outside, even on a dull day, to reach your 100% daylight goal each day.
Lack of productivity and creativity
Connecting with the natural world, both inside and outside, is essential for human wellbeing. Indoor planting and lush green walls can help you feel more motivated, productive and creative.
Did you know that a 20 minute walk in nature is great for boosting your motivation and it’s also a brilliant way to generate your next bright idea!
