Seated or sedentary work tasks refer to job duties primarily performed while sitting, often involving minimal physical movement. Also known as desk-based or stationary work, these tasks are common in office settings, customer service, and administrative roles. This accommodation supports individuals who experience mobility challenges, fatigue, or other conditions that make standing or walking for extended periods difficult. By allowing employees to complete their work while seated, it promotes comfort, reduces strain, and helps maintain productivity. Offering seated or sedentary work options can also improve workplace inclusivity by accommodating a wide range of physical needs and health conditions.
Begin by assessing the employee’s specific needs and the nature of their job tasks. Provide ergonomic seating and adjustable workstations to support comfort and posture. Encourage regular breaks to reduce stiffness and promote circulation. Maintain clear communication between employees and supervisors to adjust duties as needed. Regularly review the setup to adapt to any changes in the employee’s condition or job requirements.
Disclo streamlines requests, documentation, and tracking for Seated or Sedentary Work Tasks, so HR teams and employees spend less time on paperwork and more time working productively.
