Despite being the most overlooked ergonomic tools in modern workplaces, there is still room for document and book holders even in today’s fast-paced digital work environment. After all, not all tasks require exclusive use of electronic devices such as laptops, with physical documents still playing a vital role in day-to-day work. If you’re one of those who reference books and physical documents such as spreadsheets or reports, is discomfort and constant neck and back pain a constant in your daily work routine?
For Ergonomics…
Numerous studies have shown that not utilising ergonomic laptop stands significantly increases the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The same applies to not using document and book holders. With holders raising work documents to eye level, the need for constant neck and back movements are greatly reduced, thereby decreasing the pain involved in repeatedly looking down on reference materials and back up at the screen.
…and A Boost In Productivity and Multitasking
Aside from the proven and tested ergonomic benefits, document and book holders are not just crucial tools that promotes proper posture. The holders are also integral for an efficient workflow. These ergonomic solutions are effective aids in multitasking, productivity, and efficiency especially in situations that require paperwork and books for data entry or for cross-referencing information. For instance, with the reference material in line with a laptop or computer screen, there’s less valuable time spent looking up and down the screen and the material. This improves the work experience by allowing for a quicker and more accurate data input.
Document and book holders, additionally, minimises desk clutter. With the reading materials propped up by holders, valuable desk real estate is freed up, thus aiding in a cleaner and more organized workspace. With hybrid workspaces now being the norm and working in cafes and co-working spaces being part of our work culture, the document and book holder must be thin and light enough for everyday carry. Whether the holder accompanies a laptop in a backpack during daily commute, or in a messenger bag along with books, its mobility is important.
