| dc.description.abstract | MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : With the current developments in the technology, work- ing became more accessible on remote grounds. Conse- quently, Home-Office became a popular trend for both the employees and the employers. This type of working allows for a more efficient time management and the flexibility of setting up personal working hours, all from the comfort of one's home. Although, the idea of having a personalized working schedule may sound appealing for most, the hidden drawbacks of remote work include various health problems such as an increased risk of di- abetes and heart disease, in addition to numerous spinal problems.1 To overcome the health risks, both the employees and the employers are searching for ways to create a health- ier working environment. On this regard, the current Bachelor Thesis aims to discover further possibilities to design a desk enablers which is more adapted to the specific needs of the target group. The thesis will exam- ine the existing literature and explore the requirements of the most ergonomic desk design through interviews conducted with the test subjects | en |
