1. Well-being at the office
Your Key Posture for Optimal Health
Working at an office is not without consequences on our body and our mind. Between back pain, eye fatigue and stress, the work environment can impact our general well-being. The key to addressing it? A correct posture and an ergonomic workstation.
The Ideal Position: The Perfect Alignment
Imagine your body as a straight spine. Your feet should be flat on the ground, your knees at a 90°angle, aligned with your hips. Your back should be straight, supported by the backrest of your chair, especially at lumbar level. Your forearms are parallel to the ground, and your eyes must reach the level of the upper third of your screen to avoid bending the neck.
Active Breaks: Moving to perform better
No posture, even perfect, is healthy if it is maintained for too long. Get up every 30 to 45 minutes for a 2-3 minute micro break. Stretch your arms, neck and back. Walk to activate blood circulation. These short but regular pauses reduce muscle stiffness and boost your concentration.
Essential Accessories: Invest in your health
- A Laptop Security: Essential Accessory! It elevates the screen to prevent constant neck flexion. For perfect ergonomics, use an external keyboard and mouse once the computer is raised.
- An Ergonomic Chair: The fundamental pillar. It must offer adjustable lumbar support and positionable armrests.
- A Screen Mount: For desktop screens, it allows precise height and tilt adjustment.
An Ergonomic Keyboard and Mouse: They keep the wrists in a neutral position, preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSD).
By adopting these postures and equipping your space, you directly invest in your physical and mental health. A body without tension is a clearer, more productive and serene mind. Your well-being is your greatest wealth.
2. Technology
The AI Revolution in the Office: End the Endless Reports!
Video conferences have become the beating heart of our collaborative work. But who has never dreaded the tedious task of writing the report afterwards? Fortunately, Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing this chore, and our members at the forefront have recommended the best tools to save precious time.
Discover the nuggets that turn your meetings into pure productivity:
- Fathom.video (https://www.fathom.ai/): Our crush for its simplicity and efficiency. This free application records, transcribes and summarizes your Zoom, Teams or Google Meet calls in real time. Automatically identify key moments and generate a structured summary in one click. A must-have.
- Claap (https://www.claap.io/): More than just a transcriptor, Claap is a collaborative hub for your asynchronous and synchronous meetings. It combines video, notes, AI transcripts and integrations (such as Slack or Notion) so that each meeting results in clear and traceable actions. Perfect for agile teams.
Plaud.ai (https://fr.plaud.ai/): For those seeking the most advanced all-in-one solution. Plaud.ai stands out for its ability to generate different types of reports (decisions, formal notes, summary emails) from a single conversation. His AI model is particularly powerful for synthesizing complex discussions.
The ultimate advantage? These tools have been warmly recommended to us by our IBC Monaco members who use them daily. They testify to a monumental time saving, strengthened collaboration and a rediscovered serenity.
Integrate AI into your workflow and devote your energy to what really matters: action and strategy.
