Posture related symptoms:
Headaches
In the UK, headaches and migraines significantly impact workplace absenteeism and productivity. According to the Migraine Trust, migraines alone account for around 25 million missed workdays each year in the UK. This makes migraines one of the leading causes of absenteeism due to neurological conditions (Office for National Statistics). Additionally, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development reports that minor illnesses, including headaches, are among the top causes of short-term sickness absence(CIPD).
Neck pain or stiffness
Neck pain is notably prevalent among office workers, with an annual incidence ranging from 17% to 21% (Oxford University Press). This pain often results from poor ergonomics and prolonged sitting, especially in computer-intensive jobs. These conditions not only contribute to absenteeism but also affect productivity and overall workplace efficiency, highlighting the need for better ergonomic practices and preventive measures in the workplace.
Upper back pain:
The Health and Safety Executive reports that upper back pain, along with other musculoskeletal disorders, is a major cause of sickness absence. On average, individuals suffering from these conditions take about 13.9 days off work annually (HSE). This underscores the importance of proper ergonomic practices and preventive measures in reducing the incidence of upper back pain and related absenteeism.
Lower back pain:
In the UK, lower back pain is a significant contributor to workplace absenteeism. In 2022/23, musculoskeletal disorders, which include lower back pain, accounted for 6.6 million of the total 35.2 million working days lost due to work-related ill health and non-fatal workplace injuries. This means lower back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders were responsible for a substantial portion of the days workers were unable to perform their duties (HSE)
Pain or discomfort when sitting or standing for long periods
According to a 2023 report by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), musculoskeletal injuries, including those caused by prolonged sitting or standing, are among the most common causes of long-term sickness absence in the workplace. This includes issues such as lower back pain, which is frequently exacerbated by these conditions (CIPD)Prolonged standing at work is particularly problematic and can lead to various health issues, such as joint pain, muscle fatigue, and even chronic conditions. Safe Workers UK highlights that standing for long periods without adequate breaks or proper ergonomic support can significantly increase the risk of these health problems, contributing to higher rates of absenteeism (Safe Workers)

Office staff Assessments
The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work published a Statistical analysis of EU-wide survey data. (link) - which stated that Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the primary work-related health problem in the EU. It also indicated that 60 % of all workers with a work-related health problem identified MSDs as their most serious issue, while 16 % pointed to stress, depression and anxiety.
Recent trends in the labour market, in particular digitalisation, the increase in computer use and the reduction in physical labour, even in industry, have resulted in faster and more complex work, more repetition and more work in prolonged static positions and when adopting bad postures, for instance while working from home at an unadjusted workstation. These trends may be associated with an increase in mental health problems, such as stress and mental exhaustion, as well as physical health problems, including MSDs.
