WorkSpace IQ was established in 2013, after the original business SitRight, WorkWell (Est. 2004) required a refresh and reset. People and businesses not only needed advice, education and guidance in creating healthy environments to work with, and within, but more recently, they require help with managing peoples’ health, productivity, performance and overall wellbeing.
