Is Your Home Office Helping You – or Hurting You?
Most remote workers spend 6–10 hours a day at a desk that was never really “designed” for them.
This quick Home Office Ergonomics Survey from Mr Home Guy helps you spot risks, reduce pain, and plan a workspace that actually supports the way you work. Take the survey below to see your personal highlights report.
Jane’s Home Office Story
When Jane’s job went fully remote, she did what most people do: grabbed a laptop, a random chair, and an old dining table. It worked for a while… until it didn’t.
Within a few months she was fighting neck pain, tight shoulders, and headaches. She was productive on paper, but her body was paying the price. Her monitor was too low, her chair didn’t support her back, and her “temporary” setup had become permanent.
Jane called Mr Home Guy to help redesign her home office:
- We evaluated her work style and how many hours she spent at the desk.
- We raised her screens with a proper monitor arm and set them at eye level.
- We adjusted her chair height, added better legroom, and improved lighting.
- We cleaned up cables and installed wall-mounted storage to open up her space.
The difference? Less pain, less fatigue, and a space that actually helps her focus. That’s the power of a thoughtful, ergonomic home office.
This survey is built from the same checklist we use when we help clients like Jane.
Watch how a simple home office makeover reduced pain and made work feel better for Jane.
Why Your Home Office Setup Matters
Remote and hybrid work are here to stay. But most home offices were thrown together quickly and never optimized for the person using them. Over time, small issues add up:
- Monitors that are too low (or too high) strain your neck.
- Chairs without proper lumbar support cause lower back pain.
- Desks that are too tall or too short force you to hunch or reach.
- Poor lighting and screen glare lead to eye strain and headaches.
- Long stretches without movement increase stiffness and fatigue.
You don’t need a huge budget or a fancy corporate office. You just need a workspace that fits your body, your habits, and your workday.
That’s what this Home Office Ergonomics Survey is designed to reveal.
