The rise in sedentary work and the digitalisation of work environments have introduced new occupational health risks that affect both the mental and physical wellbeing of employees. Office workers are moving less, spending long hours in static positions, and experiencing increasing levels of stress amidst the demands of a fast-paced and ever-changing work life. It’s no surprise that last year, up to 49% of participants in Firstbeat measurements reported feeling stressed.
While good work ability is often seen primarily as a benefit to the employee, it also has significant positive effects on companies and society as a whole. Cuckoo and Firstbeat have partnered to better address the challenges of maintaining work ability by managing occupational health risks.
Cuckoo and Firstbeat help organisations recognise the impacts of inactivity and stress on employee wellbeing and develop solutions such as ergonomic work practices, break exercises, and stress management tools. This not only reduces sick leaves and increases company productivity but also promotes employee health and long-term resilience at work.
