Design of Workstation for Remote Workers with Work Environment Consideration

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020 has caused various phenomena in some fields of work, especially the phenomenon of remote working. The phenomenon of remote working is possible through the advancement of information and communication technology (ICT). The good impact on the environment, especially air pollution decreasing due to the lack of commuting, makes the phenomenon of remote working need to be enhanced so that the positive impact on the environment increases. This exploratory research found that the work environment factors in the workstation design, including physical ergonomics, lighting, noise, etc., greatly affect the productivity of remote workers. This workstation design is a solution for remote workers during and post-pandemic.
