Long hours at a desk can take a toll on the body. Without breaks, employees may experience eye strain, headaches, wrist discomfort, and back pain.
Micro-breaks are key. The 20-20-20 rule helps reduce eye strain: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Encourage workers to stretch wrists, roll shoulders, stand up periodically, and change position often. Small movements throughout the day improve circulation and reduce discomfort.
A few intentional breaks help keep employees healthier, happier, and more focused.
