Choosing the furniture is a tough job, but choosing the right furniture is a more tough job. Not because the money is involved in buying the product, but the health associated with the furniture. If we choose the wrong furniture especially in the case of employees, the result would be more absenteeism, body aches, complaints etc. Wrong furniture will certainly diminish the employees’ health, and thereby reduce their productivity. It applies to us also!
And, it is the office, where people spend most of their time after their home. Workplace health is certainly topping the charts, keeping in mind the new trend towards health after pandemic.
When we are setting up a commercial or office set up space, few things must be kept in order.
- Making a list of our considerably basic needs
In an office environment, the most basic things must be first enumerated. These may include basic needs like Monitor, desktop, laptop, printer, file cabinets, Ethernet Cables, Ventilation and so on.
Space planning is foremost important, since it can be a difficult task, to moderate it afterwards purchasing the furniture. If someone is a consultant, he may be requiring space for Secure file cabinets for sensitive documents and so forth. And, if you are a software engineer, you require cushioned seats to help you sit for longer hours on projects and space, if you require a dual monitor support and laptop simultaneously. If you are having daily customer interaction at your office, then you may be requiring additional space as well as seats for customers in addition to employees.
- Planning the location in the office.
It is an important part, since proper details must be ascertained for natural lighting, proper ventilation, and main door entrance. Also, the office furniture must be in an organized manner, to keep and maintain space for walking around.
- Choosing the furniture to work for you.
Choices are plenty. But suitable ones are just a few that we should look for. Quality furniture must integrate our technology and our posture. Good furniture must take your digital components like desktop and printer, but also including your cell phone and wire management.
- Choosing right file cabinets and file supplies.
We do not want our paperwork to be piled up on our desks. And, certainly not to get lost or gone across flying on some other desk, that too uninvited!
We must utilize file storage drawers to keep everything organized. We also require secured file cabinets if we are dealing with sensitive files or papers. We can also think of vertical shelves if we are tight on space.
By paying attention to these details, you can assure a perfect workspace for your office, where you and your employees will want to work.
