Prepare your home office with the help of your insurance

The Swedish Public Health Agency (Folkhälsomyndigheten) recommends that anyone who can work from home should continue working from home in the fall.

If your home is to become your new workplace on a more permanent basis, it is especially important to take personal responsibility for reviewing aspects such as your posture, the lighting conditions, taking breaks and moving around to avoid long-term injury and health issues.

To help improve your home working environment, Euro Accident offers an opportunity for insurance holders with Counseling Support cover to book up to two video consultations on the home office with an ergonomics specialist.

Following the period of home working in the spring, we saw that many insured persons began to experience pain in their elbows, wrists, shoulders, back and neck. With advice from a specialist in ergonomics, it can be relatively easy to adapt and enhance the home office based on the existing conditions. Small changes can make a huge difference in preventing pain and other problems in the long term.
