Active Workstation Intervention
Participants in the experimental group will receive a seated active workstation at their work setting for 16 weeks.
Ergonomic Intervention
Participants of both arms will receive a face to face ergonomic workstation optimization intervention. This consultation will take 30 minutes to complete and will be performed at the participant's actual work station.
Email Intervention
Participants of both arms will receive three emails per week for 16 weeks. Messages will be consistent with what they hear in the ergonomic intervention (e.g., encourage taking breaks from sitting at work and adjusting posture to be in line with ergonomic principles).
