Infos

Workplace health promotion and well-being are essential for raising awareness about potential health risks, and helping workers avoid them in order to lead a more fulfilling life. The present book presents the health risks that computer users are prone to and possible measures for the mitigation of said risks. For example, the book outlines the effects of different spa treatments for relieving muscular tension, which can be a side effect of the sedentary nature of computer use in the workplace. In addition to physical inactivity, computer users also suffer from unhealthy eating habits. So, the book also outlines dietary and physical activity recommendations for people working with computers and suggests measures for employers to implement in the office. Working long hours on the computer leaves a mark on one's mental health; the adverse effects are related to addictions or the infliction of stressful situations like cyberbullying. In recent years, online working or meeting environments have become popular, which has led to the emergence of Zoom fatigue. The current book provides suggestions for participating in online meetings more healthily.
