#26 - Simon Jones: What is the risk to long term health and productivity in home working?
Manage episode 421723936 series 3523693
You have me this week.
Sitting at home on a beautiful day with the window open, I wonder....
Could remote working and hybrid working, represent the single largest chronic occupational environmental health risk of this century?
While we've been enjoying the flexibility and comfort of working from home, a new, insidious risk is potentially emerging – one that could have profound implications for our long-term health and well-being. This risk is the deteriorating quality of our indoor environment at home
Imagine this: you're working at your home desk, basking in the convenience of avoiding the daily commute, only to discover that your home environment may be quietly undermining your health and productivity. The potential health risks associated with prolonged remote working conditions might represent the single largest chronic environmental health risk of our century.
The surge in remote and hybrid work, catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic, has persisted well into 2024, with nearly 49% of desk workers now splitting their time between home and office, and 17% working fully remote. This could translate to around 900 million people globally who are exposed to home environments that were never designed for full-time work.
