Employers could tackle a common reason for staff sick days* by changing the range of chairs in their offices.
Margolis Office Interiors has unveiled a range of office chairs specifically designed to offer back support and help employees work at their desks in comfort.
Paul Margolis, Managing Director of the company, said: “Back pain is one of the most common reasons for absence from the workplace, particularly among men, so introducing back friendly office furniture for their employees could help businesses to slash those sick days.”
