As we reach the end of the year, we want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you to our incredible community.

To every organisation working to create more inclusive workplaces, to every individual striving for comfort, confidence, and wellbeing at work, and to everyone who has trusted us this year - we see you, and we’re grateful for you.

Your commitment to supporting people properly is what drives meaningful change.

Wishing you a peaceful, restorative season ahead, and a start to the new year filled with clarity, comfort, and possibility.

Here’s to more accessible, healthy workplaces in the year to come. ✨

We’ve all seen it: a colleague struggling, a case sitting in limbo, and the weeks tick by while solutions crawl through bureaucracy. By the time help arrives, the impact has grown - longer absence, lower morale, and a stressed HR or OH team trying to keep everything on track.

The Accelerated Outcome Process (AOP) was designed to change that story. It’s a smarter, faster, and more practical way to help colleagues get the support they need - before small problems become big ones.

Here’s what AOP does differently:
Speed: Quick access to tailored workplace adjustments
Clarity: One point of contact, less chasing, smoother communication
Proportionate support: Solutions that meet real needs without unnecessary complexity or cost
Results you can see: Measurable improvements for employees and teams.

It’s about more than getting someone back to work - it’s about restoring confidence, easing pressure on teams, and building trust across the organisation.

💬 What difference could a faster, smarter approach make in your workplace? Let’s share experiences.

Comfort at work isn’t just about wellbeing - it’s about focus, energy, and confidence.

Ergonomics design helps employees:

- Sit or stand in positions that reduce strain and fatigue

- Maintain energy and attention throughout the day

- Feel supported physically, so they can give their best mentally

Even small adjustments - a correctly positioned monitor, an ergonomics mouse, or a supportive chair - can make a huge difference in performance and confidence.

💡 Tip: Start by reviewing common pain points in your team’s workspace. Simple tweaks can lead to measurable improvements in productivity and morale.

We see it every day - long hours of sitting contributing to fatigue, back pain, and reduced concentration. What’s often overlooked is just how much these sedentary habits quietly impact productivity, wellbeing, and absence rates.

By the time referrals reach us, issues like musculoskeletal strain or burnout are already affecting performance. But what if we could step in sooner - with proactive, evidence-based advice that prevents problems before they escalate?

That’s exactly what we’ll be exploring in our upcoming free webinar:

- Why reducing sedentary behaviour is critical for employee health and performance
- How to optimise workspaces for comfort, mobility, and focus
- How standing desks and active working strategies can complement workplace adjustments
- Practical, evidence-based actions you can recommend to clients immediately

Sitting for hours may be convenient - but it comes at a cost. Muscle tension, fatigue, and reduced focus all sneak in before you know it.

That’s why short movement or stretch breaks throughout the day matter:
- Stand up and walk for 2–3 minutes every hour
- Stretch shoulders, neck, and wrists to relieve tension
- Take a few deep breaths to reset focus

Even a few minutes of movement can boost energy, concentration, and wellbeing - helping employees feel more confident and productive.

💡 Here's a tip: Encourage your team to set calendar reminders or try “movement moments” at the top of each hour. Small actions add up!

Sitting for long hours might feel normal, but it quietly drains energy, focus, and motivation - and over time, it can lead to fatigue, discomfort, and reduced productivity.

In our free 1-hour webinar on Thursday, 11th December 2025 at 12:30pm (via Zoom), we’ll explore the hidden impact of prolonged sitting and share practical ways to tackle it.

You’ll discover how to optimise workspaces to make them more comfortable and supportive, how small changes - like adjusting your desk setup or building movement into your day - can make a measurable difference, and how to embed habits that protect wellbeing while improving performance.

This session is for anyone who wants to prevent small aches from turning into bigger problems, help their team feel energised, and create an environment where people can thrive. Attendees will also receive free resources to support healthier, more active work routines.

It’s amazing how much confidence and focus can come from simply feeling comfortable at work.

In one of our top tips, we look at common home desk mistakes that quietly drain energy, focus, and wellbeing - and how small ergonomics improvements can make a big difference. Because when people feel physically supported, they perform better, communicate better, and show up as their best selves.

💡 Whether it’s adjusting a chair, raising a screen, or adding a footrest - comfort isn’t a luxury. It’s a foundation for confidence and productivity.

And if you’re ready to take it a step further…

Some mornings, you sit down at your desk and already feel that familiar ache - in your back, your neck, your shoulders.

You tell yourself it’s fine, that you’ll stretch later, that this is just part of the job.

But the truth is… it doesn’t have to be.

Sometimes all it takes is a small change - a tweak to your chair, raising your monitor a little higher, or finding a rhythm between sitting and standing - to completely change how your day feels.

At Osmond Ergonomics & Wellbeing, we help people discover those small, powerful adjustments that make a big difference:
- Personalised advice to set up your workspace for comfort and support
- Tools and tips to reduce strain and improve posture
- Solutions that help you feel better, work better, and live better

It’s about more than just working pain-free. It’s about creating a workspace that supports your health, energy, and focus - so you can thrive every day.

💙 You deserve that ease every day. Let’s help you find it.

You’ve been telling yourself to just keep going.

The back pain, the headaches, the fatigue - you keep pushing through, thinking it’ll get better when things finally settle.

But weeks turn into months waiting for Access to Work support… and you’re still stuck in the same uncomfortable chair, trying to do your best while your body and mind quietly say, “enough.”

The truth is - it’s not that you can’t cope. You just haven’t had the right support yet.

AOP changes that.

Within two weeks, you could have:
- Practical recommendations that actually make a difference
- Clear guidance to navigate your challenges
- Someone who listens and understands your needs

You deserve to feel comfortable, focused, and confident at work - not drained by it. 🌱

Sometimes it’s not about working harder. It’s about being supported in the right way.
