In this episode, you will learn:

- The crucial piece that ergonomics teams are missing in supporting employees
- Actionable tips to help you sit less in the workplace
Quote from the show - ''If you have a job that requires you to have good creative and/or decision making skills, you need to be able to get up and move. When you sit for more than 30 minutes, at about that 30 minute mark, you have less blood flowing to your brain, This means you're not able to make as many good decisions. At about the one to two hour mark, we increase the amount of errors that we make in creative tasks by 50%.''. - Dr. Stefan Zavalin
