Sitting behind a desk all day, working on a computer, writing memos, not quite feeling right as a result; that’s what happens when you don’t prepare yourself properly to that kind of work environment.

The Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce’s February Lunch ‘N Learn focuses on Creating a Healthy Workplace through ergonomics.

The luncheon is set for Tuesday Feb. 27 at Enzo’s Pizza & Restaurant, Route 46, Budd Lake, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

“Ergonomics, Creating a Healthy Workplace” is the title of the February lunch, featuring speaker Dr. James Fedich of Village Family Clinic in Allamuchy.

According to Dr. Fedich, “Sitting is the new smoking in 2018 and we all spend too much time at our desks.”

This practical and engaging presentation will include actionable steps to create a healthier, happier workplace. Discussions of proper desk setup, stretches, techniques to minimize the stress on your body of days at a desk. Attendees will walk away with simple and no cost techniques to make one more productive, feel better and live pain free!

Cost for  “Ergonomics, Creating a Healthy Workplace” is just $15 for MOACC members and $20 for non-members if pre-paid. Otherwise, $5 more at the door. Reserve your spot today for this hugely timely topic at www.mountolivechambernj.com.

Marketing in the Morning, a complimentary benefit to members of the Chamber, takes place the 3rd Wednesday morning of every month from 7:15 to 9 a.m. Pre-registration is not required. There is a $10 fee but it is complimentary to members of the chamber. You can register for this program in advance at the chamber website.
