Talking about office chairs reminded me of when my sister got a new job in Copenhagen. She was quite surprised. The company ergonomist came to her office and spent a half an hour adjusting chair, desk, etc. for her. My sister was very comfortable in that office. Some of the adjustments were done in ways that weren't the obvious way to do it..
When I worked at another job, they had an on-site nurse, and she came around to each department and gave a talk on ergonomics, and the importance of having your work station set up properly. I had been sitting at a left-credenza work station and developed tendonitis in my left shoulder from repetitive turning left toward the credenza. I asked to be moved to a right-credenza work station to help my shoulder to heal. I was told that they can't be moving everyone just because they don't like where they are sitting. So I guess that little speech by the nurse was just to cover their butt for OSHA.
