'Tech neck & hair loss' | The future of work for remote staff

With more employees than ever before currently working from home, and many sharing their hopes to work from home for the foreseeable due to concerns over coronavirus, employees may soon start to face several health issues due to a lack of exercise and sunlight.

As a result, a model called ‘Susan’ has been created by clinical psychologists and fitness experts to depict what the homeworker of 2045 will look like, reported the Daily Mail.

After working from home for the majority of her life, Susan suffers from hunched shoulders, a double chin, obesity and ‘digital eye strain’, which includes dry, bloodshot eyes from staring at a screen all day.

While many workers have enjoyed the extra time they have clawed back when working from home, for example they are no longer commuting for several hours a day and simply moving from their bed in the morning to the next room to their desk, it seems they may face several issues in the future as a result.
