Office Furniture - Ergonomic Requirements
Choosing the right ergonomic furniture for your new office is crucial to the comfort and productivity of your workforce. If you think about it, employees are spending up to 12 hours a day at their desks, so making sure that you have positive and healthy ergonomic office furniture in place is a vital part of your responsibility as an employer. If furniture is uncomfortable and not user friendly, working style and efficiency is hampered considerably, which can affect the overall organization.
If you are moving office and buying new office furniture, it's important you consult with an Office Furniture Specialist who will advise you about how to improve your office ergonomics and what type of office furniture would be suitable to make the ergonomics of a workplace better.
Choosing Ergonomic Office Furniture
To make sure you have a positive and healthy office environment, it's important that you choose the right furniture. Office chairs, for example should offer full back support and allow proper alignment and support to the upper body, shoulders and back.
Workstations need to be height-adjustable, and staff need to know how to adjust their workstation appropriately. It's worth talking to staff individually prior to an office move to assess what their needs are and how they want to configure they own workstation. This will help to get them settled quickly in their new environment so that they can carry out their tasks efficiently.
