Benefits of Ergonomic Office Furniture

Why do you need well-made office furniture?

North Americans spend 90% of the time indoors, plus another 6% of the time driving. Most of that time is spent sitting down.

The health implications of sitting are numerous, from cardiovascular issues to swollen ankles.

If you sit in a way that doesn’t work for your body, the implications can be even worse. You can develop carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain, and hip stiffness. All of these can limit your range of mobility, forcing your body to compensate in ways that can cause more stress and injury.

Keep reading to learn why it makes sense to invest in ergonomic office furniture.

So much more than before.

And so much less, too.

SITTING TOO LONG IS UNHEALTHY

There are tangible health benefits to having ergonomic office furniture. The first is that sitting too long every day has a negative impact on your health.

That’s true even if you go to the gym every day.

You can spend an hour at the gym and erase those positive benefits if you spend the rest of the day sitting.

If that’s the case, then how long should you spend on your feet? Researchers found that you should be on your feet for at least two hours a day, and then gradually increase the time to four hours.

To counteract the adverse effects of sitting all day, you should consider purchasing a stand-up desk.

COST SAVINGS

You might think that it’s a big investment to purchase ergonomic office furniture. Like every sound business decision, there’s a return on investment in making this purchase.

If your business has a profit margin of 3%, you’d have to make an additional $4.2 million in sales to cover those costs. That’s only one instance of carpal tunnel syndrome.

When put in those terms, an investment in office furniture seems like a minimal investment with long-term benefits

HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY

Workers who are in a comfortable setting can focus more on their work. The more focused they are, the more productive they are.

Employees who are in pain or frequently experience discomfort tend to be more tired, which means they aren’t as focused on work and are less productive.

Equipment such as ergonomic keyboards can help employees type faster, thus increasing productivity.

Design. Comfort. Value.

Together, this makes an outstanding ergonomic office chair.

FRESH DESIGN BUILDS EMPLOYEE MORALE

Employee morale doesn’t come from paychecks and bonuses. That’s also true with perks like ping-pong tables, a fully stocked beer fridge, and arcade games at the office.

There’s been a shift in office design from creating a workplace for maximum productivity to creating an environment that puts the health and well-being of the employee first.It’s been proven that the design of a workplace can have a direct impact on employee morale. A fresh design with new ergonomic office furniture sends the message that employees are valued.

CREATING A CULTURE BASED AROUND HEALTH & SAFETY

It helps to reduce workplace injuries due to sitting all day. Employees might also be straining their arms and shoulders because they’re reaching for a mouse at an awkward angle.

Ergonomic office furniture can reduce workplace injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. An ergonomic set up can reduce the instances where employees have to leave in order to go to doctor’s appointments for back issues or other health problems.

What exactly can happen to the body when you sit all day?

The first thing is that your muscles degenerate. Your abdominal muscles, which work to hold you upright, become weak. Your glutes also become weak and your hip flexors become tight.

That works to create a pelvic tilt, which can put added strain on your lower back.

When you sit for a long period of time, your body slows down. That includes blood flow and brain function.

Your neck and shoulders also become strained, causing your shoulders to rotate forward.

These issues cause your body to be out of alignment and lead to injuries when you’re not at the office. If you play sports on the weekend, you’ll definitely want to invest in ergonomic office furniture. That will help your posture and reduce injuries away from work, doing the activities you love.

CREATE AN ENGAGED WORKPLACE

When your employees are in an environment where health and safety are part of the company culture, they feel valued.

Employees who feel valued and appreciated are more engaged.

Not only that, but conversations between employees are more engaging. Conversations can go beyond complaints about neck and backaches. They can talk about other things in a more positive light.

Having employees who have high levels of engagement are likely to stay with the company, saving on hiring and training costs for new employees. They’re also more attentive, resulting in fewer product errors.

Employee engagement also has an impact on your customers. The more engaged employees are, the more satisfied your customers are.

WORK BECOMES MORE ENJOYABLE & FOCUSED

When you feel good about your body and your work environment, you feel better about your work. You’re more productive and more engaged.

You’re not playing around with chair settings or fidgeting because you’re uncomfortable. You’re focused on discomfort, not on your work.
