"Introduction: Telework, adopted by some companies as an alternative measure to ensure the continuity of services during the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic, can have an impact on workers' health, contributing to the onset of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and/or repetitive strain injuries. In this context, companies were required to develop strategies to ensure the implementation of occupational health actions through different means. Objectives: To discuss our experience of implementing a remote workplace exercise program. Methods: The experience report was based on the development and implementation of a remote workplace exercise intervention project for the employees of a bank who are working from home. Results: The remote workplace exercise program proved to be feasible, providing benefits in terms of saving resources, extending the reach of actions and increasing the number of employees involved, improving adherence of workers to health promotion programs, and enhancing their awareness of postural habits beyond the occupational setting. Conclusions: Interventions in occupational health and safety by technological means, associated with telework, can be seen as a new perspective during and after the pandemic, especially in banks, where remote work has proven to be efficient."
