For WFH, the organization that I work in had a form that I had to fill out prior to getting authorization. It essentially looked like something from OSHA.

* The working area is maintained between 68°-76°

* The working area is free of tripping obstructions

* The working area has a adjustable chair

* The working area has handholds on any staircase of more than two steps

Etc...

And yes, I am working on improving the area that I work in. It currently meets the requirements, I'm just looking to go another step for a more comfortable area now that I know that long term WFH is possible and reasonable.

Hah. I have a pretty nice home office but it probably doesn't consistently fall in to that temperature range. Often colder in the winter and I don't turn on the noisy window AC unless it gets really hot. (And I don't know what tripping hazards are.) But, sure, I'll check the boxes. Lying to employers is pretty traditional.
