Promoting wellness through ergonomic furniture

January gives us all a sense of renewal and despite the post-Christmas blues, it's often when you'll find many of your team members are hitting the gym, pound the pavements to meet their marathon goals or just look to feel better.

Recognising this season in your workplace can be done in many ways that will be appreicated by your staff. Looking at ergonomic furniture is an ideal way to nod to the concept of a 'health kick' because it's going beyond the traditional wellness programes and encourages the support of natural posture and overall well-being. 

Ergonomic furniture options

If your team are adding a yoga class to their routine, then a poorly fitted and made desk chair may be counteractive to their intentions. Our ergonomic furniture includes adjustable desks which can include standing desks and of course, chairs. Static sitting naturally can leave us feeling stiff and cause health concerns if we spend seven hours sitting solid. Workspaces that has furniture that encourages proper posture is extremely important and doesn't require extensive thought. 

Movement with purpose

Our team have expeirence in the best options to suit your office no matter size of your space or need. Not only can we advise on the best lumbar supports but we can advise on how to make your breakout spaces and collaborative working areas more dynamic to encourage movement which helps people get up from their desk with purpose. It's not just about making a coffee but the intention of movement which we need to encourage more in order to promote wellness.

Inspired design

Spaces that have considered colours, layouts, designated workspaces and quiet areas are conciously working to provide for their employees. Whilst open plan homes may be all the rage, offices benefit from offering inspired designs that consider working styles and routines. Thinking about what your team may be doing before and after work shows your employees you're commited to considering their wellness and not just their output. A member of staff who feels valued within the office space will increase productivity.

We're here to help with your furniture, office planning, consultation and designs for businesses across Northamptonshire and beyond.
