Workplace Ergonomics Save Money

If you’re on the fence about investing in new, more ergonomic friendly office furniture in Houston, this might change your mind. Studies have shown that strategic improvements in this area save time and money by allowing your employees to perform at their best.

What Is Ergonomic Office Furniture?

Ergonomic office furniture in Houston includes a wide range of products. But, it’s not always necessary to overhaul your space with a lot of new equipment. A few small changes can make a huge difference. One of the most popular ways to upgrade your office is by starting with chairs. An ergonomic chair improves employee health and productivity.

We still want to avoid sitting all day, so alternate sitting with standing by incorporating adjustable height desks. Safco’s new leaning stool offers another way to change your position during the day. Customize your workstation even further with adjustable monitor arms.  If you’ve already made these changes and want to further invest, consider more active furniture like treadmill desks or cycling desks.

Benefits

The benefits of an ergonomic workplace trickle down to many areas of your business. First, there are the obvious benefits to the employee who is sitting more comfortably throughout the day. But the effects travel far and wide from there. Studies show a reduction in waste, errors, work-related injuries, turnover, and absenteeism. In fact, one study yielded a 67% decrease in scrap/errors and a 65% decrease in injuries. Plus, there was a 25% increase in productivity in ergonomically optimized workplaces. Those are impressive returns on investment!

The benefits of ergonomic office furniture in Houston far outweigh any downsides like cost. Time and time again, these products have proven to be such a great investment. For help deciding what type of improvements you need for your office, contact ROSI today for a free consultation.
