Ergonomically designed office equipment

Having quality office desks and chairs that are ergonomically designed are important for your business as they improve productivity. Ergonomics is the study concerning humans to the design of objects, systems and environment for human use. Ergonomics is more commonly perceived as how companies design tasks and work areas to maximize the efficiency and quality of their employees' work. However, ergonomics incorporates dealing with everything which involves people or their environment.

One major area of ergonomics is in office equipment, including desks and chairs, as this is where most office employees will spend their time. Ergonomic chairs and desks aim to maximise productivity by minimising reducing operator fatigue and discomfort. Employees with improved posture and with chairs that support such posture will be able to accomplish more, as well as having increased productivity. Research has shown that the avoided costs associated with fewer aches and pains would mean that the expenditure on the ergonomic changes would have been paid back in just over a couple of years.

Impacts of having uncomfortable furniture in the office

Before ergonomic design, employees would complain of upper limb aches and pains, and associated with this were several costs to the employer, including things like sickness absence, lost time for doctors' and physiotherapists' appointments, decreased morale and more frequent legal claims. As well as this employers would have to pay out more for health plans for their employees to account for these health problems. Bad posture caused by uncomfortable office equipment can lead to a disease called repetitive strain injury, also called occupational overuse syndrome, or work related upper limb disorder, is any of several conditions resulting from an activity that requires repeated movements. It is a disease that impacts on muscles, tendons and nerves in the hands, arms and upper back, especially evident in employees working with computers. The medically accepted condition in which it occurs is when muscles in these areas are kept tense for very long periods of time, due to poor posture and/or repetitive motions.
