Nearly 70% of Polish employees move too little

In Poland, the number of medical certificates issued due to musculoskeletal disorders, especially back pain, which is exacerbated by sedentary work, is increasing. At the same time, the overall number of benefits offered by employers has been declining. 

No Fluff Jobs has initiated the "Healthy Code" campaign aimed at IT employees and job candidates. As part of the campaign, the company shares advice from a dietitian and a physiotherapist on topics such as healthy eating, proper hydration, correct body posture, ergonomics at the workplace, and exercises that can be done even without leaving the chair.

“IT professionals often have sedentary jobs that are associated with high levels of stress, leading to unpleasant health consequences. We want to provide candidates with information that will help them address issues such as back pain, and neck stiffness, and organize an ergonomic workspace. We also aim to improve their dietary habits and incorporate elements that support effective work," Michał Rogoziński, Art Lead at No Fluff Jobs and the campaign's initiator, said.
