Wellbeing at Work
in the Banking Sector
Health, wealth and happiness is the often-touted
mantra for life. But with bankers focused on
managing and creating wealth 24x7x365, where
do they stand on holistic growth? This researched
feature explores the ground reality of employee
wellbeing in the banking sector and the best
practices to ensure sustained productivity.
02
Doing well vs being well
India’s banking sector is seeing meteoric growth on the back of
robust demand. According to IBEF estimates, by 2025,
India’s fintech market is expected to reach INR 6.2 trillion. Yet,
according to the latest survey across 250 bankers by Godrej
Interio’s Workplace and Ergonomic Research Cell, both public
and private sector banks need to focus on creating
environments conducive to employee wellbeing.
03
Processes have
changed, environments
need to be next
From using pen and paper, to introducing technology like
biometrics and blockchain for safety, or chatbots for customer
support, banking has come a long way in elevating customer
experience. This transition has upskilled employees but also
increased their duress. Bankers now spend long and often
stressful hours multitasking between digital screens on one side
of their desks and sitting across the table with customers who
visit the branch physically for assistance.
04
Banks recognize that their future success
hinges on having a healthy and resilient
workforce.
“
Banks that care attract
and retain top talent
Studies show that job seekers are drawn to employers who
prioritise their wellbeing. Reflecting the same sentiment,
businesses are also actively adopting holistic initiatives for
employees that extend to physical, mental, physiological, and
social wellbeing.
05
Employee assistance programmes
Preventive medical examinations
Meditation and mindfulness sessions
Insurance and pension plans
Daycare facilities
Ergonomic infrastructure supporting the nature of
the banking job
Rejuvenating spaces to unwind between
multitasking
Correct furniture layout enabling free movement
Awareness programs to encourage employees to
take charge of their own physical health and
wellbeing
Among the handful of banks that our survey found to
have introduced wellness initiatives, these are some
prevalent measures:
For bankers, wellness initiatives can mitigate the
physical stress of sitting for long hours, and the mental
stress of customer expectations, process changes and
technological transitions. Yet, even among the few
banks that do invest in wellness initiatives, the following
essential aspects are often missed:
06
Tallying the current score
Our survey explored how bank employees work and handle
pressure, the infrastructure and the 360-degree environment
they work in, as well as the occupational hazards they face.
We also attempted to understand the extent of awareness
among employees about right working postures, work desk
ergonomics, and overall wellbeing.
07
The results revealed that not all banks are measuring up to
the importance of wellbeing, and do not yet have the
necessary resources to foster a healthy work environment.
Suboptimal ergonomics
and work environments
impede productivity
While employers aim to facilitate
their workforce with the best, factors
like acoustics, humidity, dim lighting,
and a poorly designed work area
contribute to workplace stress.
Moreover, what severely affects
employee health is a sedentary
lifestyle.
The bank space is limited, and the layout
is incorrect, because of which we get
disturbed while working on something
important

Wellbeing challenges
at banks
09
1. Improper posture
2. Long hours of gadget usage
3. Sitting for long hours
4. Inadequate infrastructure
5. MSDs (Musculoskeletal disorders)
6. Absence of rejuvenating spaces
Some crucial banking functions that impact physical wellbeing
as a result of prolonged sitting periods:
Data processing officers logging extensive data entries
Bank tellers making transactions for long queues of customers
Relationship managers attending to various customer needs
10
Our study reveals that 41% of bank employees work
9 hours a day and 28% work for 10 hours or more.

Prolonged hours of gadget usage observed in bank employees
Screens enable
solutions, but are a part
of the problem as well
Between monitoring real-time data,
facilitating online customer queries and
keeping systems running, banking employees
face prolonged screen time, leading to
physical and mental strain. For employees,
this strain finds expression as eye strain or
headaches. Further, a lack of awareness of
correct postures to adopt at work and a lack
of laptop accessoriesadd to the stress on the
body and aggravate MSDs.

Accessories of gadgets
and postural errors
In the BFSI sector, managing clients’ accounts and processing
payments mean long hours spent sitting in a certain posture.
This is a gateway to chronic neck and back pain. In such a
situation, it is imperative that employees are equipped with
certain computer accessories to minimise MSDs.

Earphones:
When attending continuous customer calls without using
earphones, employees often strain foward towards the
speakers of their machines, causing pain in the neck and
upper back.
Keyboard and mouse:
Some employees do not use keyboards and a mouse,
thereby restricting body movment while sitting close to
the laptop.
14
Research shows that sitting for too
long can have undesirable health
implications.

them from completing other to dos on their list
Certain time-sensitive tasks that must be completed on high priority like
clearing checks of VIP clients, and business accounts
While taking breaks is a must for employees, many scenarios
including the following are impediments:
15
Moreover, unaware of the health implications of sitting for prolonged periods, force of habit results in
employees being stationed at a spot, without any breaks, which contributes to strain, stress, and MSDs:

Behavioural and postural inaccuracies observed during
gadget usage is one of the primal causes of the development
of MSD complaints. Depending on the task at hand, employees
tend to make certain postural errors.
Through our study, we identified the 4 most common incorrect
postures adopted by bank employees along with several
postures which can cause health related issues:
Habitual postures that
have serious health
implications
1. Focus Mode: Neck Bent Forward
Looking down on the computer or mobile screen with the neck in flexion and
upper back bent. This can lead to neck and upper back pain.
2. Ready Mode: Seated on the Edge
Sitting on the edge of the chair without any back support, sometimes even
bending forward. Such a posture can lead to back pain.
17
18
3. Float Mode: Feet on Castor Wheels
Feet tucked beneath the chair, foot resting on the leg of castor wheels. This can
lead to knee pain.
4. Shrug Mode: Hunched or leaning Forward
Leaning forward with shoulders raised or bent forward with the back and
shoulders in a rounded C shape. This posture, also called the Kyphotic posture of
the back, can lead to upper back pain.
Key to avoiding these incorrect postures is providing furniture
like desk-and-chair arrangements that enable adjustment and
therefore promote good posture. The best time to build this in
and think ergonomics is at the very beginning, or at the design
stage of the workspace. However, just a handful of banks have
actually built ergonomic considerations into their plans at the
initial design stage.
19
20
Most banks
lack ergonomic
infrastructure
With bank employees seated for long hours, chairs are crucial
to cultivating healthy ergonomic postures.
Our study predominantly suggests that even though most
chairs have seat height adjustments, they lack other
crucial ergonomic features.

When it comes to desks, a majority
of banks don’t fare any better.
Cluttered desks with inadequate
legroom below, and the absence of
height adjustments are detrimental
to employee wellbeing.
Height-adjustment capabilities go a long way in aiding good
posture, but our studies found that only a few banks have
them. Standing desks also contribute to deterring MSDs. By
minimising chronic back pain, ergonomic desks can increase
productivity and reduce levels of stress and fatigue.
Several desks also lack space for stocking recurrently used
items, and don’t have enough legroom either. Cluttered desks
impede work efficiency in several ways including hindering the
distribution of important forms to customers.
Desk features observed in the banking industry
24
The pedestal storage placed below the
desks in banks results in restricted leg
movements and awkward postures of
lower limbs, straining the lower limb
joint. This strain can lead to hip, knee,
and foot pain. Generally, storage units at
banks are placed near the walls in the
corridor space, which restricts free
movement for the users.

Decoding MSDs
in India’s
banking sector
Some common symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders are:
MSDs are injuries that affect the
muscles, nerves, tendons, joints,
cartilage, and spinal discs.
Work-related musculoskeletal
disorders (WMSD) are caused by
an incompatible working
environment and non-ergonomic
infrastructure at the workplace.
Pain Inflammation
Fatigue Muscle atrophy
Swelling Stiffness in joints
Weakness Decreased range of movement
26
The nature of banking work necessitates employees being stationed in one location:
Upsurge in
digitalisation
MSDs
Prolonged
working hours
Improper
sitting postures
Inappropriate
infrastructure
Lack of
postural breaks
27
Surging MSDs
The Workplace and Ergonomic Research Cell at Godrej Interio
analysed the prevalence of MSDs, and certain contributing
factors to the surge of the issue.
We observed that currently, 64% of bank employees suffer from
MSD issues, with women being more affected than men. Key
predispositions include body physiology, dual responsibilities
handled by women, and age. The percentage of people in pain is
comparatively high in the segment of the workforce over the age
of 26, and the numbers continue to rise as they get older,
indicating that age can be a key factor for MSD.

A lack of rejuvenation
areas in workplaces
may result in mental
burnout and fatigue in
employees
An area earmarked for breaks and rejuvenation, helps prevent
fatigue and mental burnout in the long term. However, there is
a dearth of such spaces in many banks.
Employees in customer interfacing roles, including complaint
resolution on financial matters are in particular need of such
spaces. When clients, themselves under stress, reach out for
resolution, employees must be deferential to them. This can be
very taxing, inducing the need for rejuvenating spaces.

Stressful environments
may trigger errors and
lower productivity
Bankers deal with sensitive financial data and numbers every
day, where the tiniest error can have dire implications. This
necessitates a working environment that enables them to carry
out their work with the concentration it demands.
Specialised zones for focused work, the right illumination,
optimum acoustics and right temperature regulation all
contribute to work efficiency and high cognitive function. An
internal environment that does not support wellbeing proves to
be a hurdle for smooth working.
*Lux levels are a standardised unit of light intensity measurement.
Four elements of indoor infrastructure with banks
should be mindful of:
1. Air quality:
The ventilation should be regulated so as to keep the air
quality and flow in control
2. Illumination:
The illumination within banks should maintained between
200-500 lux levels* for computer work
3. Temperature:
When the temperature in office is too hot or too cold, it
affects the productivity of the employees
4. Acoustics:
Installing acoustic panels in walls and ceilings improve
wellbeing as prolonged noise exposure trigger physiologic
stress responses in our bodies

Wellbeing trends across
the banking sector
Awareness and behavioural
modification must be preceded by
enabling infrastructure. These
factors together underlie the
wellbeing trends in the banking
sector.

Having an effective employee wellbeing program in place
ensures:
Better health
Increased productivity
Better retention
Reduced stress
Decreased employee absenteeism rates
A healthy economy needs
a healthy banking system,
powered by productive
teams. To help banks get
started on a planned
wellness journey, we have
identified key trends that
will emerge in the banking
industry as we advance.
The pages that follow
highlight our key findings
38
Reinforcement of
corrective measures
Maintaining a healthy working
environment is the need of the hour.
Certain banks are implementing
wellness-related initiatives to
increase employee engagement,
satisfaction, and productivity.
However, majority of them do not
have wellness initiatives in place,
and the ones that do are not holistic.
Organisations must raise awareness about various aspects of
wellbeing by engaging with employees regularly through
training, emailers, camps, and group activities.
Banks need to reinforce preventive measures like taking
postural breaks, using gadgets with accessories, and being
aware of the right sitting posture while working, to begin with.
A powerful wellness culture that engages employees in
positive ways is the stepping stone to ensuring wellbeing.
39
Physical well-being to
be a shared priority
Physical wellbeing among banking
employees is paramount to the
economy as a whole. Securing their
wellbeing is crucial. Sustained
physical wellbeing at work needs to
be a shared priority between both
employers and employees.
Proactive prevention of MSDs:
Identifying risk factors through ergonomic assessments
Implementing a dedicated pre-shift stretching program
Providing training on body mechanics and sitting postures
Encouraging early reporting of fatigue and discomfort
to prevent an injury
Reactive prevention of MSDs:
Adequate rest and systematic approach to addressing pain
Eliminating hazards identified during the ergonomic
assessment
Implementing strategies suggested post ergonomic
assessment
Training for correct sitting postures

Ergonomic infrastructure
for a healthy and
productive workforce
Employees need a workplace with
well-planned and ergonomic
infrastructure to keep MSDs at bay.
Assessing aspects like work, physical,
and physiological environments help
banks review the work systems and the
current design of the workplace.
As bankers precariously balance their many roles, ergonomic
furniture can deliver much more than just the primary benefit of
physical comfort:
Having ergonomic features in a chair makes it intuitive for
employees to adopt a good posture.
44
Features of an ergonomic chair best suited for banking employees:
Seat height adjustability
Back recline adjustability
Lumbar support
Armrest adjustability
45
The science behind
selecting the right chair
The chairs to be used by the employees must be determined
after conducting a study of various factors to ensure they are
suitable for the user persona.
Factor that should be considered while selecting a workplace
chair:
Anthropometric (user’s body) dimensions
After conducting an evaluation of the user persona through
the ergometer*, the chairs must be designed by the metrics
of 5th percentile female to 95th percentile male.
1.
*The Ergometer is a device used to scientifically measure body dimensions.
46
The nature of their job
The number of hours spent seated as well as the type of work
being carried out by the users are important considerations.
The nature of work done while seated - from rigid data entry
positions to managerial or executive functions, are all
important in determining the ideal type of furniture required
for each function. Depending on the profile, chairs must be
classified into General purpose chairs, Lounge seating,
Multipurpose chair, among others.
2. Users’ training
Training should be conducted to educate
users about the right adjustments and how
these features can help optimise benefit.
4.
The scope of chair’s integration with the overall workspace
design
The office chair must be considered as part of the overall
workstation environment. If an ergonomic chair cannot match
the workstation height and computer configuration, it may
result in user discomfort.

Using the right accessories
A laptop stand, external keyboard, and mouse should be used
to accessorise the laptop. Doing so can facilitate
appropriate working postures
Mindfulness about when to use the accessories
During long calls, headphones should be used. This will prevent
awkward upper back and neck posturing while multitasking on a
laptop and mobile phone
Accessorising gadgets
will help decrease MSDs

Healthy minds thrive in
a healthy environment
50
The nature of the tasks undertaken by
various departments in a bank is
multi-faceted. Managers and
customer service representatives
require dedicated spaces with
infrastructure that supports noise
cancellation so they communicate
without disrupting the analysts and
auditors who require silent spaces to
focus.
Banks must cater to the needs of various departments right from
the design stage. A few parameters to keep in mind while
designing healthy banking spaces are:
Introduce sound-absorbing elements in the workplace like partitions to
prevent the noise overflow
Introducing biophilia in the workspace improves cognitive performance
and physical employee wellbeing
Adapting aqua into the workplace in the forms of interactive fountains,
water walls, reflective pools provide a calming effect through visual
stimulation and soothing sounds
Provide regulated ventilation to keep the air quality and flow in check
51
Follow hygiene norms
Healthy minds thrive in
a healthy environment
Additional parameters that banks must consider are:
Optimise light at the workplace as per lux levels*. Bright lights should be
regulated to normal lux levels (for a place with computer usage, 200-500
is the normal range)
Allow mild natural light or ensure additional lighting
Provide a comfortable lounging area including varied seating options like
sofas and pouffes for breaks from a hectic schedule
Add greens and other vibrant colours into the lounge area, other than the
bank's brand colours. Doing so will help the workforce disconnect from
work for a while
*Lux levels are a standardised unit of light intensity measurement.
52
Banks, the epicentre of a nation's financial framework, must ensure good health and
wellbeing of their employees while at work. Prolonged working hours, extended use
of gadgets, inadequate breaks, lack of awareness of right postures while working,
inappropriate infrastructure, and inefficient space design can have a severe effect
on employee health, thereby affecting their overall wellbeing.
Organisations must help teams brace against the potentially limiting repercussions
of bad ergonomics. They must lead by example and foster a healthy working
environment while focusing on supporting employee wellbeing, productivity, and
growth.

Wellbeing at Work in the Banking Sector | Godrej Interio

  • 1. Wellbeing at Work in the Banking Sector
  • 2. Health, wealth and happiness is the often-touted mantra for life. But with bankers focused on managing and creating wealth 24x7x365, where do they stand on holistic growth? This researched feature explores the ground reality of employee wellbeing in the banking sector and the best practices to ensure sustained productivity. 02
  • 3. Doing well vs being well India’s banking sector is seeing meteoric growth on the back of robust demand. According to IBEF estimates, by 2025, India’s fintech market is expected to reach INR 6.2 trillion. Yet, according to the latest survey across 250 bankers by Godrej Interio’s Workplace and Ergonomic Research Cell, both public and private sector banks need to focus on creating environments conducive to employee wellbeing. 03
  • 4. Processes have changed, environments need to be next From using pen and paper, to introducing technology like biometrics and blockchain for safety, or chatbots for customer support, banking has come a long way in elevating customer experience. This transition has upskilled employees but also increased their duress. Bankers now spend long and often stressful hours multitasking between digital screens on one side of their desks and sitting across the table with customers who visit the branch physically for assistance. 04
  • 5. Banks recognize that their future success hinges on having a healthy and resilient workforce. “ Banks that care attract and retain top talent Studies show that job seekers are drawn to employers who prioritise their wellbeing. Reflecting the same sentiment, businesses are also actively adopting holistic initiatives for employees that extend to physical, mental, physiological, and social wellbeing. 05
  • 6. Employee assistance programmes Preventive medical examinations Meditation and mindfulness sessions Insurance and pension plans Daycare facilities Ergonomic infrastructure supporting the nature of the banking job Rejuvenating spaces to unwind between multitasking Correct furniture layout enabling free movement Awareness programs to encourage employees to take charge of their own physical health and wellbeing Among the handful of banks that our survey found to have introduced wellness initiatives, these are some prevalent measures: For bankers, wellness initiatives can mitigate the physical stress of sitting for long hours, and the mental stress of customer expectations, process changes and technological transitions. Yet, even among the few banks that do invest in wellness initiatives, the following essential aspects are often missed: 06
  • 7. Tallying the current score Our survey explored how bank employees work and handle pressure, the infrastructure and the 360-degree environment they work in, as well as the occupational hazards they face. We also attempted to understand the extent of awareness among employees about right working postures, work desk ergonomics, and overall wellbeing. 07 The results revealed that not all banks are measuring up to the importance of wellbeing, and do not yet have the necessary resources to foster a healthy work environment.
  • 8. Suboptimal ergonomics and work environments impede productivity While employers aim to facilitate their workforce with the best, factors like acoustics, humidity, dim lighting, and a poorly designed work area contribute to workplace stress. Moreover, what severely affects employee health is a sedentary lifestyle. The bank space is limited, and the layout is incorrect, because of which we get disturbed while working on something important - Satish, Senior Executive at a private bank “ The chairs provided are uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time, because of which I get neck and leg pain at the end of the day - Shubhangi, employee at a nationalised bank “ 08
  • 9. Wellbeing challenges at banks 09 1. Improper posture 2. Long hours of gadget usage 3. Sitting for long hours 4. Inadequate infrastructure 5. MSDs (Musculoskeletal disorders) 6. Absence of rejuvenating spaces Some crucial banking functions that impact physical wellbeing as a result of prolonged sitting periods: Data processing officers logging extensive data entries Bank tellers making transactions for long queues of customers Relationship managers attending to various customer needs
  • 10. 10 Our study reveals that 41% of bank employees work 9 hours a day and 28% work for 10 hours or more. People adopt sitting postures over stand- ing and moving around for the dominant part of the day, resulting in a sedentary lifestyle 5% 26% 41% 7 hours 8 hours 9 hours 10 hours or more 28%
  • 11. 11 Prolonged hours of gadget usage observed in bank employees Screens enable solutions, but are a part of the problem as well Between monitoring real-time data, facilitating online customer queries and keeping systems running, banking employees face prolonged screen time, leading to physical and mental strain. For employees, this strain finds expression as eye strain or headaches. Further, a lack of awareness of correct postures to adopt at work and a lack of laptop accessoriesadd to the stress on the body and aggravate MSDs. Multiple screens Smartphone Desktop laptop 1-2 hours 1-2 hours 1-2 hours 1-2 hours 1-2 hours 2-3 hours 2-3 hours 2-3 hours 2-3 hours 2-3 hours 4-5 hours 10 hours 10 hours 8-9 hours 8-9 hours 6-7 hours 6-7 hours 8-9 hours 6-7 hours 4-5 hours 10 hours 4-5 hours 4-5 hours 4-5 hours 2-3 hours 4-5 hours 6-7 hours 8-9 hours 10 hours and more Tablet
  • 12. 12 Accessories of gadgets and postural errors In the BFSI sector, managing clients’ accounts and processing payments mean long hours spent sitting in a certain posture. This is a gateway to chronic neck and back pain. In such a situation, it is imperative that employees are equipped with certain computer accessories to minimise MSDs. Lack of supporting accessories observed in bank employees Use head - phones while working Laptop is accessorized with laptop stand, keyboard and a mouse No 23 16 Yes No Yes
  • 13. 13 Earphones: When attending continuous customer calls without using earphones, employees often strain foward towards the speakers of their machines, causing pain in the neck and upper back. Keyboard and mouse: Some employees do not use keyboards and a mouse, thereby restricting body movment while sitting close to the laptop.
  • 14. 14 Research shows that sitting for too long can have undesirable health implications. Sitting for long hours has adverse health effects Tellers handling cash register operations for an endless stream of customers Customer service executives whose clients take up long hours, preventing them from completing other to dos on their list Certain time-sensitive tasks that must be completed on high priority like clearing checks of VIP clients, and business accounts While taking breaks is a must for employees, many scenarios including the following are impediments:
  • 15. 15 Moreover, unaware of the health implications of sitting for prolonged periods, force of habit results in employees being stationed at a spot, without any breaks, which contributes to strain, stress, and MSDs: Takes break after how many hours 5 hours and more 4 hours 30 mins 3 hours 2 hours 1 hour 4 % 5 % 5 % 9 % 11 % 5 % Sit at a stretch to work 5 hours and more 4 hours 3 hours 2 hours 1 hour 14 % 6 % 6 % 11 % 2 %
  • 16. 16 Behavioural and postural inaccuracies observed during gadget usage is one of the primal causes of the development of MSD complaints. Depending on the task at hand, employees tend to make certain postural errors. Through our study, we identified the 4 most common incorrect postures adopted by bank employees along with several postures which can cause health related issues: Habitual postures that have serious health implications
  • 17. 1. Focus Mode: Neck Bent Forward Looking down on the computer or mobile screen with the neck in flexion and upper back bent. This can lead to neck and upper back pain. 2. Ready Mode: Seated on the Edge Sitting on the edge of the chair without any back support, sometimes even bending forward. Such a posture can lead to back pain. 17
  • 18. 18 3. Float Mode: Feet on Castor Wheels Feet tucked beneath the chair, foot resting on the leg of castor wheels. This can lead to knee pain. 4. Shrug Mode: Hunched or leaning Forward Leaning forward with shoulders raised or bent forward with the back and shoulders in a rounded C shape. This posture, also called the Kyphotic posture of the back, can lead to upper back pain.
  • 19. Key to avoiding these incorrect postures is providing furniture like desk-and-chair arrangements that enable adjustment and therefore promote good posture. The best time to build this in and think ergonomics is at the very beginning, or at the design stage of the workspace. However, just a handful of banks have actually built ergonomic considerations into their plans at the initial design stage. 19
  • 20. 20 Most banks lack ergonomic infrastructure With bank employees seated for long hours, chairs are crucial to cultivating healthy ergonomic postures. Our study predominantly suggests that even though most chairs have seat height adjustments, they lack other crucial ergonomic features.
  • 21. 21 of employees use fixed chairs that do not support their bodies adequately 13% Chairs without seat height adjustment options, no armrest, inadequate lumbar support or absence back-recline features, breed awkward postures lack armrest adjustments 49% Chairs with fixed armrests mean unsupported elbows and forearms. Such chairs restrain users from customising the armrest settings to suit their arm length still lack back recline 41% Non-reclining backrests, when used over extended periods, often result in misaligned spines

  • 23. Most banks lacks ergonomic infrastructure 23 When it comes to desks, a majority of banks don’t fare any better. Cluttered desks with inadequate legroom below, and the absence of height adjustments are detrimental to employee wellbeing. Height-adjustment capabilities go a long way in aiding good posture, but our studies found that only a few banks have them. Standing desks also contribute to deterring MSDs. By minimising chronic back pain, ergonomic desks can increase productivity and reduce levels of stress and fatigue. Several desks also lack space for stocking recurrently used items, and don’t have enough legroom either. Cluttered desks impede work efficiency in several ways including hindering the distribution of important forms to customers.
  • 24. Desk features observed in the banking industry 24 The pedestal storage placed below the desks in banks results in restricted leg movements and awkward postures of lower limbs, straining the lower limb joint. This strain can lead to hip, knee, and foot pain. Generally, storage units at banks are placed near the walls in the corridor space, which restricts free movement for the users.

  • 25. 25 Decoding MSDs in India’s banking sector Some common symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders are: MSDs are injuries that affect the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) are caused by an incompatible working environment and non-ergonomic infrastructure at the workplace. Pain Inflammation Fatigue Muscle atrophy Swelling Stiffness in joints Weakness Decreased range of movement
  • 26. 26 The nature of banking work necessitates employees being stationed in one location: Upsurge in digitalisation MSDs Prolonged working hours Improper sitting postures Inappropriate infrastructure Lack of postural breaks
  • 27. 27 Surging MSDs The Workplace and Ergonomic Research Cell at Godrej Interio analysed the prevalence of MSDs, and certain contributing factors to the surge of the issue. We observed that currently, 64% of bank employees suffer from MSD issues, with women being more affected than men. Key predispositions include body physiology, dual responsibilities handled by women, and age. The percentage of people in pain is comparatively high in the segment of the workforce over the age of 26, and the numbers continue to rise as they get older, indicating that age can be a key factor for MSD.

  • 32. 32 A lack of rejuvenation areas in workplaces may result in mental burnout and fatigue in employees An area earmarked for breaks and rejuvenation, helps prevent fatigue and mental burnout in the long term. However, there is a dearth of such spaces in many banks. Employees in customer interfacing roles, including complaint resolution on financial matters are in particular need of such spaces. When clients, themselves under stress, reach out for resolution, employees must be deferential to them. This can be very taxing, inducing the need for rejuvenating spaces.
  • 33. Lack of rejuvenating spaces and appropriate infrastructure Environment observed in banks 33 43% 49% 41% 31% Yes No Have staff lounge Have comfortable furniture in staff lounge felt the light is too bright to work 15% employees reported of being fully stuffy 21%
  • 34. 34 Stressful environments may trigger errors and lower productivity Bankers deal with sensitive financial data and numbers every day, where the tiniest error can have dire implications. This necessitates a working environment that enables them to carry out their work with the concentration it demands. Specialised zones for focused work, the right illumination, optimum acoustics and right temperature regulation all contribute to work efficiency and high cognitive function. An internal environment that does not support wellbeing proves to be a hurdle for smooth working.
  • 35. *Lux levels are a standardised unit of light intensity measurement. Four elements of indoor infrastructure with banks should be mindful of: 1. Air quality: The ventilation should be regulated so as to keep the air quality and flow in control 2. Illumination: The illumination within banks should maintained between 200-500 lux levels* for computer work 3. Temperature: When the temperature in office is too hot or too cold, it affects the productivity of the employees 4. Acoustics: Installing acoustic panels in walls and ceilings improve wellbeing as prolonged noise exposure trigger physiologic stress responses in our bodies 35 Inappropriate lighting for bank employees adds to the stress of viewing sensitive data and documents of bank employees said that the light is too bright to work 15% The feeling of stuffiness often arises due to poor air quality and a lack of ventilation. The resultant poor indoor air quality gives rise to indoor pollutants that can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue of employees reported feeling stuffy 21%

  • 37. 37 Having an effective employee wellbeing program in place ensures: Better health Increased productivity Better retention Reduced stress Decreased employee absenteeism rates A healthy economy needs a healthy banking system, powered by productive teams. To help banks get started on a planned wellness journey, we have identified key trends that will emerge in the banking industry as we advance. The pages that follow highlight our key findings
  • 38. 38 Reinforcement of corrective measures Maintaining a healthy working environment is the need of the hour. Certain banks are implementing wellness-related initiatives to increase employee engagement, satisfaction, and productivity. However, majority of them do not have wellness initiatives in place, and the ones that do are not holistic. Organisations must raise awareness about various aspects of wellbeing by engaging with employees regularly through training, emailers, camps, and group activities. Banks need to reinforce preventive measures like taking postural breaks, using gadgets with accessories, and being aware of the right sitting posture while working, to begin with. A powerful wellness culture that engages employees in positive ways is the stepping stone to ensuring wellbeing.
  • 39. 39 Physical well-being to be a shared priority Physical wellbeing among banking employees is paramount to the economy as a whole. Securing their wellbeing is crucial. Sustained physical wellbeing at work needs to be a shared priority between both employers and employees.

Assessing aspects like work, physical, and physiological environments help banks review the work systems and the current design of the workplace. As bankers precariously balance their many roles, ergonomic furniture can deliver much more than just the primary benefit of physical comfort: Having ergonomic features in a chair makes it intuitive for employees to adopt a good posture.
  • 44. 44 Features of an ergonomic chair best suited for banking employees: Seat height adjustability Back recline adjustability Lumbar support Armrest adjustability
  • 45. 45 The science behind selecting the right chair The chairs to be used by the employees must be determined after conducting a study of various factors to ensure they are suitable for the user persona. Factor that should be considered while selecting a workplace chair: Anthropometric (user’s body) dimensions After conducting an evaluation of the user persona through the ergometer*, the chairs must be designed by the metrics of 5th percentile female to 95th percentile male. 1. *The Ergometer is a device used to scientifically measure body dimensions.
  • 46. 46 The nature of their job The number of hours spent seated as well as the type of work being carried out by the users are important considerations. The nature of work done while seated - from rigid data entry positions to managerial or executive functions, are all important in determining the ideal type of furniture required for each function. Depending on the profile, chairs must be classified into General purpose chairs, Lounge seating, Multipurpose chair, among others. 2. Users’ training Training should be conducted to educate users about the right adjustments and how these features can help optimise benefit. 4. The scope of chair’s integration with the overall workspace design The office chair must be considered as part of the overall workstation environment. If an ergonomic chair cannot match the workstation height and computer configuration, it may result in user discomfort. 3. 1 Upper back Touch points Comfort determined by Back height of chair 2 Lower back Lumbar curve 6 Elbows Armrests 7 Feet Seat height 4 Thighs Seat depth 3 Sitting bones (Ischial tuberosity) Hardness & contour of foam 5 Area behind knees (Popliteal area) Seat edge 1 2 3 6 4 5 7

  • 50. Healthy minds thrive in a healthy environment 50 The nature of the tasks undertaken by various departments in a bank is multi-faceted. Managers and customer service representatives require dedicated spaces with infrastructure that supports noise cancellation so they communicate without disrupting the analysts and auditors who require silent spaces to focus. Banks must cater to the needs of various departments right from the design stage. A few parameters to keep in mind while designing healthy banking spaces are: Introduce sound-absorbing elements in the workplace like partitions to prevent the noise overflow Introducing biophilia in the workspace improves cognitive performance and physical employee wellbeing Adapting aqua into the workplace in the forms of interactive fountains, water walls, reflective pools provide a calming effect through visual stimulation and soothing sounds Provide regulated ventilation to keep the air quality and flow in check
  • 51. 51 Follow hygiene norms Healthy minds thrive in a healthy environment Additional parameters that banks must consider are: Optimise light at the workplace as per lux levels*. Bright lights should be regulated to normal lux levels (for a place with computer usage, 200-500 is the normal range) Allow mild natural light or ensure additional lighting Provide a comfortable lounging area including varied seating options like sofas and pouffes for breaks from a hectic schedule Add greens and other vibrant colours into the lounge area, other than the bank's brand colours. Doing so will help the workforce disconnect from work for a while *Lux levels are a standardised unit of light intensity measurement.
  • 52. 52 Banks, the epicentre of a nation's financial framework, must ensure good health and wellbeing of their employees while at work. Prolonged working hours, extended use of gadgets, inadequate breaks, lack of awareness of right postures while working, inappropriate infrastructure, and inefficient space design can have a severe effect on employee health, thereby affecting their overall wellbeing. Organisations must help teams brace against the potentially limiting repercussions of bad ergonomics. They must lead by example and foster a healthy working environment while focusing on supporting employee wellbeing, productivity, and growth.
