Lack of light and poor air quality are the main sources of complaints at work, according to a recent survey by HR specialist Attentia.

Air that is too dry or polluted is a significant problem for 30.3 % of the respondents to an online survey of more than 14,000 office workers.

Air conditioning units running at full speed due to the hot weather were identified as one of the causes. While they provide cooling, the air becomes drier as a result, the HR company explains to Het Nieuwsblad.

This then leads to complaints including irritation to the eyes, the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, and headaches.
