We just purchased two that were refurbished. You can feel the difference immediately

Thankfully my company let us take home our ergonomic chairs.

While I don’t know the brand name, I’d recommend purchasing The Purple pillow. Bought one back in March and it’s done wonders for my back pain.

I got the stand up desk converter because I didn’t want to get the whole desk. I would stand for most of the week, I recommend wearing comfy slippers as well. It helped a bunch because I have lower back issues.

I recommend getting a laptop stand too. Its made all the difference for me. I just bought a chair from Ikea btw

Probably doesn’t help too much, but my brother in law bought a gaming chair and I tested it out and it’s fantastic. No idea on the brand, i think it’s a GTRacing one, it’s red, white, and black and I think it was decently affordable

Herman Miller embody

Staples Hyken, it's around $230, has the anti-sweat mesh construction, lumbar support, adjustable armrests, etc. Only issue I have with it is that the headrest is too low.

My boss (exec director) and I need to come up with a schedule strategy. We work in a hybrid setting, 1-2 days in office, the rest remote. As you all know, the days fill up quickly with travel, meetings and requests internal, external, new partners etc. Fridays are usually off limits to schedule anything unless it’s super important or really no way to work around it. have you seen something, created or implemented a strategy/guideline that would free up more time?
