“Ergo Hero”: An Awareness Day for Beyond Employees on Healthy Workspaces

2 June, 2025

At Beyond Insurance Brokerage, our commitment to creating a healthier, more comfortable work environment is constant. That’s why this time, we decided to make “Beyond Day” a little different. Instead of dedicating it to our clients or partner companies as we usually do, we turned the spotlight inward to ourselves creating space to express our genuine commitment to physical and mental well-being. This awareness day carried the theme “Ergo Hero”, with a special focus on ergonomics, the science of designing workspaces that fit the human body. The aim was to reduce physical strain and prevent the aches and pains caused by poor posture or the repetitive misuse of office equipment. The day featured a specialized awareness session led by our team of pharmacists and doctors. We learned about proper sitting techniques during long working hours, the ideal way to move our hands while using a computer or mobile phone, and practical tips to avoid muscle tension and the physical fatigue caused by awkward or repetitive movements. We also opened the floor to honest conversation. Team members shared the physical challenges they face during their daily work, and we exchanged practical, easy-to-implement solutions that can truly improve comfort in the office.   Because awareness is only effective when put into action, we made sure everyone received practical gifts, including laptop stands to support healthy posture and reduce pressure on the neck and back, and mobile phone holders to keep screens at eye level and avoid unnecessary movement.   As part of our ongoing focus on overall health, the day also included InBody scans for all employees, a comprehensive test that measures muscle mass, fat percentage, and body water levels. The goal was to provide every team member with a clearer understanding of their physical health and inspire a more balanced lifestyle both at and beyond work.   For us, this day was more than just an internal activity; it was a reflection of our core values at Beyond. We believe that an employee in good physical and mental health is more capable of giving, creating, and contributing meaningfully to our shared success. That’s why we place our team's well-being at the heart of everything we don’t just through policies, but through real, daily practices that each team member can feel.
