Celebrate Labor Day with New Ideas about Work and the Workplace
In many areas around the world, May 1st is International Labor Day, a holiday that celebrates workers and unions – and though some parts of the world don’t celebrate this holiday, it’s a good time to universally reflect on the work being done by people from all walks of life. So, to celebrate this holiday, we interviewed a number of employees asking them to share their work experiences and some requirements and suggestions for the workplace to help employers and employees make changes to improve their work environment, prevent occupational hazards and work more efficiently.

What are you most concerned about your workplace?
“Comfort is one of the things I look for about workplace as I spend a lot of time every day sitting at writing scripts and watching videos, and because of this, I have equipped my workspace with a variety of comfortable work goodies, which help me relieve the fatigue caused by sedentary for long periods of time. After a busy period, I occasionally relax at my desk, which gives me energy and allows me to get into the swing of things more quickly.” |

John's Must-Have
CH05-22 SpineX Ergonomic Office Chair
CH05-22 is designed for winning the critical moment after sitting down, bringing long-lasting comfort while sitting. It features an iconic x-shaped tilting mechanism along with a divided back that allows for independent adjustment of the upper & lower back. As a result, the back is always precisely aligned with the natural shape of the spine as the user leans backwards, allowing each user to enjoy the subtle effect of seamless back support. In addition, the ultra-stretchy fabric provides strong, long-lasting support for the rest of the body and a "lighter" overall feel. |

What are the secrets to remaining productive at work?
"I prefer to work with a high level of concentration and dedication in order to do a good job with complete attention. Of course, we need to have a healthy body in order to do this. Because of the nature of my job, I must be on the computer every day, constantly hitting the mouse and keyboard, which resulted in some pain in my wrist a while ago, which greatly impacted my work efficiency. As a result, I must emphasize that physical health is the most important aspect of work; keep your body healthy so you have more energy to do more work effectively." |

What is the biggest challenge at work?
"I'm a designer, and the most difficult aspect of my job is constantly finding and tapping into inspiration. You know, the biggest fear in our industry is running out of ideas and not being able to complete the work in time to satisfy myself and my clients. So, every day, I pay attention to and look for things in my life that can inspire me, or when a good idea comes to me, I record it, which can help me accumulate material for future design work and create even better works." |
