A Productive Office

When sitting in an office for hours on end, it really is important that, while working, you’re experiencing some ‘feel good’ factor. After all, if you feel good, you do perform better. So, what can be done by you to achieve that dizzy height of feeling good at your desk? Let’s go and have a look.

No two offices are the same, though you will be able to generalise between a private office (maybe for the manager or a supervisor), an open-plan office environment (several people in the same big room) and the ‘cubicle’ environment (false walls which don’t meet the ceiling but still give you some privacy from the next person along). Depending on the nature of the work, you may have silence or, in the many call centres, you may be fighting to make yourself heard.

For me, I would find that background noise would make it impossible for me to concentrate, so I’d have to do something to address that and, believe it or not, soft furnishings do absorb sound. When I say soft furnishings, I’m talking about carpets, the cushioning in your ergonomic office chair and, yes, those room dividers. If you’ve ever been inside a completely empty room in a house, you’ll have noticed that your voice will create an echo. Put curtains, armchairs and cushions in there and you’ll realise that there is no longer an echo. So help your office space soak up some of that unwanted noise by adding personal touches: they’ll help with that sound problem and begin that ‘feel good’ atmosphere.

Correct Seating

To work comfortably at your computer, you’ll need light and, rather than get the glare of the sun on your screen, situate your desk to have light helping rather than hindering you. Purchase an angle-poise lamp which, with its flexible stem, you can get that light going exactly where you want it to. Fix the lamp in a position where you’re not looking directly into the light and then use the flexible stem to get the light to do its job. Now doesn’t that feel better?

I have an aversion to blue. I could never work in an environment that boasted that colour. For me, I would need yellow and maybe russet, as these autumnal colours make me feel good. I could enhance my office environment by adding a couple of feng shui paintings which include these colours and maybe purchase my own sunny ergonomic office chair, again making me feel very good indeed.

If I’m working long hours, I’m going to get little chance to enjoy the outdoors, so I might think of bringing nature to me in the form of plants. Remember how humans and plants complement each other, one wanting oxygen and throwing out carbon dioxide (humans) and the other doing the reverse. Rather than my office space becoming a little stuffy in those hot months, I’ll have the fragrance of the plants and could also make use of an air purifier to make everything just perfect.

If all of these personal yet minimal adjustments make me feel good, I can’t see the boss complaining. Can you?

Enjoy Ergonomic Office Chair

The name ‘Enjoy’ for an ergonomic office chair makes you like it straightaway, doesn’t it? Still, we’re inquisitive creatures and would need to know a little more before purchasing, wouldn’t we?

Well, the Enjoy ergonomic office chair is one of the stunning designs offered in the Ergohuman range  of office chairs and I always advise that this is the best place to start looking if you want a seriously effective chair. With autoflex zones which give lumbar support, a single lever for making many of the adjustments (including back height , back tilt and seat slide), three-dimensional arm rest adjustments (height, width and angle) and the option of a headrest, this ergonomic office chair is serious business when it comes to looking after the human frame.

The chair frame is very inviting to look at, the back support giving the impression of a tree and its branches. To me, that has the psychological feeling of growth and that’s something that is needed in the work environment. Gone are the days of chairs designed simply to sit on; today’s chairs have to sell themselves by looking good as well.

The upholstery I would go for is mesh, as it offers so many advantages. It’s breathable and thus helps to keep you cool longer. It’s longer-lasting, as the mesh is tightly-woven. It’s easy to look after, simply needing the occasional wipe over to keep it looking clean and fresh. And, as for colour, you can have straightforward black or blue, or go for a more interesting red, green, orange, burgundy, white or grey. Teamed with a white, black, or silver frame (for me, in that order), you’ve got a nice piece of equipment to help you with your job. It looks good, feels good and so do you!

The design concept of the Mirus chair also incorporates a multi-directional interactive neck roll which can help to relax tired neck and shoulder muscles. The 3-dimensional automatic flexible lumbar support system provides full support to the lumbar region with interactive and dynamic movement, intuitively adjusting to your needs. A ‘zero pressure’ seat cushion helps to distribute weight evenly across the seat pad to provide maximum comfort.

Ergohuman Plus

It can get very difficult to differentiate between some ergonomic office chairs, particularly when the names are very similar but, suffice to say, the Ergohuman Plus is the top of the range in the Ergohuman stakes, with plenty to offer the health-conscious office worker. The Ergohuman Plus is the top of the range mesh office chair.

This model is ninety eight percent recyclable and has more aluminium detailing than its close relatives, so it’s a smart looking chair with a strong frame. Its long list of adjustment possibilities mean the Ergohuman Plus can be altered to suit everyone.

One lever controls the three main adjustment areas of seat height, seat depth and back tilt, all of which get the chair to fit the smallest or tallest person. The height adjustment can cater for five foot to six foot four inches and the seat depth is particularly important, as correct adjustment keeps your back in contact with the back rest, while reducing any pressure that could fall on the knees, if the seat pad didn’t match you leg length. Like in a car, the back tilt gets the body in a good position for the arms to reach their place of work comfortably.

Arm rests are really important, as they support your arms and therefore also reduce any pull on your shoulders, guiding your hands to the desk or computer keyboard. The arm rests on the Ergohuman Plus offer multidimensional adjustments, meaning up, down, backwards, forwards and also in and out. Making sure that your elbows are placed comfortably near your body rather than splayed at a wide angle makes a huge difference to overall support.

The Plus has a seat tilt option which helps take pressure off the spine but only when adjusted correctly for its user. It really does pay to get all adjustments set to meet your needs, or the ‘ergonomic’ quality of the chair will be there in name only.

Lumbar support is essential and this ergonomic office chair boasts autoflex zones for added comfort and that important support. Adjusting the seat back will get this important feature to work for you and make long days seems less stressful.

With a matching headrest, this office must-have oozes comfort and, in a choice of either mesh or leather upholstery, you really do feel loved.
