Workplace Wellness Lab delivers leading insights, ideas and information on wellness, health management, and healthy living.

Our goal is simple: Workplace Wellness Lab provides regular and better information as an important path to create healthy individual outcomes, while helping change health care in America.

By connecting the audiences that matter – consultants, corporate executives, policymakers, thought leaders, journalists, customers, and more – we establish a positive, substantive, and influential voice within the wellness industry that makes the case that:

    • Left unchecked, current trends in health spend and outcomes are unsustainable.
    • Given that half the healthcare dollars in this country are incurred by employers, well-executed preventive care health management programs in the worksite are clearly enduring and valuable, helping drive improved workplace environments and individual outcomes.
    • Industry coherence around private sector innovation to drive effective health management programs is economically vital, given what’s possible in a spend category that is arguably one of the greatest challenges in America today.

Workplace Wellness Lab comes at this challenge principally from the employer point of view: What are the credible and demonstrated best practices in preventive care to structure programs that have an enduring impact? How can the impact be made explicit, as something that is both the right thing to do and a proactive business initiative that lowers the cost of care, as experienced by both employers and employees?

And Workplace Wellness Lab goes beyond the workplace. It’s a robust platform filled with ideas and insights from those that influence how employers think about this opportunity: research organizations, non-profits, think tanks and more.

From an editorial point of view, great ideas can come from anywhere. With that philosophy in mind, we will combine our own original content with other content across the web. We organize the content, with a view to making it as simple and useful as possible.

All content will be sourced. If we found it somewhere, we’ll tell you where we got — and how to get to that site yourself.

We also welcome your comments — criticisms, ideas, and, yes, we take compliments, too! Have a thought of what you’d like to see — or see something you think others should know — drop us a line.

Thanks for visiting – and please come back again!

Transparency is extremely important to us, so we are letting you know that we may receive a commission on some of links you click on from this page. See our disclaimer.


“Many people underestimate the importance and value of workstation ergonomics. Without proper ergonomics, your body can undergo a tremendous amount of stress and damage from consistent poor posture and repetitive, unnecessary movements.”

Michelle Zaiser offers a few helpful tips for designing an ergonomic workstation and work day:

  1. Your office chair:
    • Select an office chair that has adjustable height settings and adjustable height armrests.
    • Be sure to sit with your buttocks all the way to the back of the chair seat.
  2. Your Desk:
    • Angle your workspace around you.
    • Make sure your computer monitor faces you directly. The monitor should be an arm’s length away from your face.
    • Your keyboard should be placed at the base of your desk, with your mouse pad and mouse placed directly beside it.
    • Place office supplies and items that you use most often within an arm’s reach on your desk.
  3. Remember to stretch:
    • Take a break at least three times during your work day or shift to stretch. If you are seated at a desk, using a keyboard for most of the day, it is especially important to stretch your wrists, shoulders and neck.
