Office ergonomics and human comfort in the Arab region involve the study and application of ergonomic principles to enhance workplace environments for improved health, comfort, and productivity. In fact, this field addresses many challenges which are unique to the region, including cultural perceptions, regulatory disparities, and economic constraints that dely the effective implementation of ergonomic practices. As the workforce evolves and embraces new technologies, addressing these challenges is essential for fostering healthier workspaces that promote employee well-being and performance. The lack of awareness about the significance of ergonomics among employers and employees is a critical barrier in the Arab region. Many organizations underestimate the impact of ergonomic investments on employee health and productivity, often viewing them as non-essential expenses.

Coupled with insufficient training on ergonomic practices, this lack of understanding contributes to a widespread prevalence of poor workstation setups, resulting in increased risks of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and diminished overall workplace satisfaction.

Cultural sensitivities further complicate the adoption of modern ergonomic solutions, as traditional workspace designs in many Arab countries prioritize aesthetics over functionality. This cultural resistance, along with varying regulatory compliance requirements across different countries, creates inconsistent approaches to workplace ergonomics within the region, impeding the establishment of universally effective practices.

Additionally, space limitations in urban areas often restrict organizations from implementing ergonomic layouts, exacerbating issues related to employee comfort and leading to higher absenteeism rates and reduced morale.

In response to these challenges, the main objective of this paper is to propose customized ergonomic solutions capable of enhancing employee well-being, ultimately leading to increased productivity and organizational health.
