If you are opening a new office for you and your employees, one thing you have to purchase is office furniture. This can be a big expense, so it is important that you choose the right furniture the first time. To help you, below are two tips so you can get your new office set up.
Make a List
Before you start shopping, make a list of the furniture you need. This way you will not buy something that you will not use. This not only includes the desks and chairs, but also any other furniture you will need, such as printer stands, conference tables, storage cabinets for files, etc.
Talk to each employee about what they want, as you may not be aware of the type of furniture they need.
Once you make a list, write down next to each item how many you need to purchase. If you already have all employees hired, this should not be difficult. Even if you do, consider if you will be hiring new employees in the future. If so, you should go ahead and purchase the extra furniture for those positions.
Choose Ergonomic
There is ergonomic office furniture that you can purchase. This type will help prevent you and your employees from getting backaches, shoulder pain, and wrist pain.
For example, chairs have lumbar support for your back. It is also important that ergonomic chairs are at the right height. To determine this, your feet should sit flat on the floor when sitting in the chair. To ensure each employee's chair will fit well, you can find office chairs that allow you to adjust the height.
When the chairs are pulled up to the desk, it is important that the employee be able to comfortably type on the keyboard without having to reach out.
There are stand up desks also. With this, the employee will not have a chair but will stand up while typing. This can help prevent backache. If you choose this, the employee should also have a traditional desk, as they likely do not want to stand the entire day.
Because ergonomic furniture prevents pain, such as in the back, neck, etc., your employees will likely not miss as much work.
Talk with a salesperson at an office furniture store about this information. They can help you choose the type of furniture you need and answer any questions you may have.
