In a US blog entitled “Working from home can be more than a pain in the neck”, Eric M Kenned, SVP, chief vitality officer, integrated casualty consulting, Willis Towers Watson, said: “All around the world, former corporate office dwellers are home working at the dining room table, sitting on their sofas and sprawled on couches. Our bodies are feeling the change and soon our workers’ compensation claims may feel it too”.
