So, the Quality Digest team is considering a transition to working remotely for the most part. I and two other associates already do. In part one of this series, I outlined my ad-hoc attempt at creating a computer work space at home. The result was not very pretty.

As I said in part one, my home office planning began with a Google search, but as Jennie Dustin managing consultant at Humantech Inc. says, “You can’t Google your way out of everything.”

Jennie may have a valid point, because even though I’ve had the freedom to set up my office work station, and now my home office, work related aches and pains continued. Again, Jennie sums it up succinctly;
“If people don’t know what good looks like, they may set up the way they like it, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct.”

Now, in Part 2, I’d like to share my adventures in rectifying the shortcomings of my area of operation (AO) with the help of Humantech’s office ergonomics self-assessment program called Ergopoint. Ergopoint tells me it’s all about relationships.
