Whether you work at home or at the office it is important for your health that you choose the right office furniture. Most of us can spend a lot of time using this type of furniture and if it isn't appropriate it could mean that we are unproductive and damaging our bodies. These days there are plenty of great options when it comes to office products that promote healthy living. The other good news is that we shouldn't have to pay a fortune to end up with the right equipment. Here are just a few ideas for how to choose healthy office furniture.
Most of us like to be surrounded by beautiful things. We might also be keen to impress our clients with the stylish furniture in our office. Creating the right atmosphere is perfectly acceptable but this should never be at the expense of an employee's health. When choosing office furniture the priority always needs to be health above beauty - it should be possible to have both.
When it comes to choosing office desks and office chairs one of the main concerns is height. Humans come in different sizes so ideally, you want chairs that are adjustable.
Standing desks are very popular at the moment and for good reason. There is now plenty of evidence that too much sitting around can lead to an early grave. The standup desk takes a bit of getting used to, but those who have made the change don't tend to regret it. This is not only a much healthier option but it usually means that employees are a lot more productive as well. If you have a bit of money you can even buy a stand-up desk that comes with an inbuilt treadmill so you can walk as you write.
The office layout should be designed with employees' needs in mind. The goal is conservation of movement and eradication of the need to do too much bending. This means that everything that the desk worker needs should be in easy reach from their seat without the need to move too much.
The lighting in the office needs to be sufficient so that the employee does not need to strain their eyes all day. Ideally, natural lighting should be used wherever possible; this could come from standard windows or skylights.
So there you have just a few tips for choosing healthy office furniture. These are important purchases that could save you money in health costs in the future.
