Buy New Office Chairs that Boost Productivity
It is the start of a brand-new year and you are probably enthusiastic about what is to come. You undoubtedly want to do things right this year and just like many other companies, you are probably looking into ways in which to boost productivity and morale in the office. If you start the year off strong, you have far better chances of success! Part of boosting productivity is revamping the office space. Over the years, your furniture and equipment, and even your décor, might have become drab, outdated and worn. Now is the time to spruce things up and what better way to start than to look into buying new office chairs. After all, your staff members will spend the majority of their day seated in their office chairs.
One of the first things to remember when buying new office chairs is that they need to be a perfect balance of comfort and functionality. Ergonomic office chairs are certainly the best bet. They are specifically designed to support the spine, back and neck, and to ensure that you have good posture throughout the day, without it feeling like a chore or effort. It’s also not just the design that makes these top-quality chairs popular. They are also manufactured from fabric that breathes for added comfort and have a sturdy frame for support. Chairs with poor quality seats and rest fabric will be uncomfortable on hot days or cause friction.
Acquiring the right office chair can be a little more complex than just buying the first “good” chair on the market. There should be a great deal of thought and planning put into the process. Buying an office chair is also about the individual. You cannot buy one office chair for all staff members and expect it to be perfect straight out of the box. If you do plan to buy one type of office chair for all staff members, make sure that the chair can be adjusted and set up for the ultimate comfort. It’s important to be able to set the seat height and the angle of the back rest.
Another important feature of a good office chair is lumbar support. This type of support is underestimated time and again by business owners. Staff members with no lumbar support will take more frequent breaks to alleviate backache and discomfort. What is lumbar support? This is lower back support, which goes a long way towards better posture and good spine health. One thing that many people overlook is the type of floor that their office chair will be used on. Will your chair be used on tiled, carpeted or even cement flooring? It’s important to note that not all office chairs are designed with a wheel base that’s ideal for use on carpeted floors, so check to see what flooring type your new office chairs are best with. Being able to roll the chair easily is vital, as it reduces strain on the body while reaching for things.
A swivel base is usually incorporated on all ergonomic office chairs, as it promotes easy access to all areas of the desk. The chair needs to swivel easily and smoothly if you want to avoid potential strain and fatigue.
General fatigue and discomfort are the plight of many office workers. In fact, it’s not unusual to hear many people complaining about back or neck ache, as if it’s acceptable or normal. It shouldn’t be. All employees should be provided with the correct furniture, equipment and accessories to promote comfort, convenience and general good physical health. If your office furniture is causing discomfort and fatigue, it is likely that your employees will be far from enthusiastic about completing tasks and achieving goals. With the right office chairs in place, you can expect a more productive office space – and that’s precisely what your business needs in 2017.
