Working from Home, Changing Times

Things have completely changed from 10 years ago, many people are now working from home full time and part time. Many home offices are squeezed into a small bedrooms, or a corner of the living room or kitchen. The office furniture that was used then was often bony old kitchen chairs, and tables, which is simply not adequate these days to accommodate computers printers filing etc etc.
Now that more people are working from home they tend to work longer hours as they save time on the commute down the stairs.

A comfortablework environment is now essential such as an ergonomic chair such as the Ergohuman Mesh Chair or the Enjoy Mesh Chair. These chairs are excellent value and very comfortable giving you a better posture. The desk is also so important and these days, a Electric Height Adjustable Desk is good for your posture and fitness..

Can a Chair fit like a Glove?

How office desks have changed! This doesn’t necessarily mean that there was anything wrong with the desks of yesterday: it’s more a case of progression.

In our parents’ and grandparents’ times, office work involved lots of paper. If your job involved looking at plans, accounts or any responsibility where you needed to address more than one sheet of paper or book at a time, you needed space. Desks were long and wide, to accommodate such needs. RSI (repetitive strain injury), tenosynyvitis and carpal tunnel syndrome weren’t such an issue and the desk didn’t need an’under’ desk, for that all-important keyboard. So, a desk was basically a table with drawers.

Today, in an age when we are supposed to be using less paper, we need space for the computer and all of its necessary accessories. Quite often, the desks are without storage space and free-standing pedestals have replaced the earlier fixed drawers.

Chairs, on the other hand, have changed big-style. No longer just addressing somewhere to sit, they take the human frame into account. Though these chairs will be more expensive than the ordinary chair used before, they work towards preventing or addressing some health issues. In a working world where huge amounts of sickness carry the label of ‘bad back’, doesn’t it make sense to address suitable seating needs? It could prove to be a lot cheaper than losing contracts or having to hire temporary staff as a result of those prolonged absences, don’t you think?

Office chairs now often come on casters and one great advantage of these wheels is that people are less likely to use the chairs as stepladders. Today’s working environment is one of risk assessments, assessing hazards and trying to make employees take responsibility for their own health, rather than letting it fall on the shoulders of the unsuspecting employer, who can’t be around all the time.

Comfort when working is so important. If you’ve ever had to sit on a bus for a long journey, you’ll know just how uncomfortable prolonged sitting can be. Many employees sit for four or five hours without leaving their seats, resulting in bad backs, trapped nerves and related internal illnesses, caused by sitting in a cramped position which affects your blood circulation and squashes your vital organs ( kidneys, stomach etc.).

A good ergonomic chair will be adjustable and it will offer lumbar support, which will prevent or help reduce back pain. Each individual will need a different level of adjustment but all will need back support. When you go looking for a chair, make sure you check the chair specifications: how can this chair be adjusted to meet your body frame, weight and job needs? A chair may be only a piece of furniture but a good ergonomic office chair will fit you like a glove, protecting you against all unpleasant conditions

Mirus Office Chair

The Ergohuman range of office chairs are stunning and, although they are similar but different, you’ll be hard-pushed to choose the one for you. The Mirus is the latest addition and, like many of the other designs, it also boasts the single-lever control, which allows you to adjust the three popular features of seat height, seat depth and back tilt.

The seat height makes the seat available to short, medium and tall users, getting the seat pad in position to allow your feet to touch the floor comfortably. The seat depth complements the seat back’s purpose of addressing height, in that it allows you to make sure that your thighs are fully supported and your knees fold comfortably at the seat pad end. Like in a car, the seat tilt is about feeling right and getting your arms and hands to meet the working area (keyboard or desk as opposed to the steering wheel) at the most effective distance.

The multi-directional neck-roll gets the support just where you need it, as is the case with the 3D lumbar support facility. The seat slide manoeuvre adds the finishing touches.

The Mirus Office Chair is one of the Ergohuman range of office chairs that offer a zero-pressure seat cushion, with the purpose of distributing weight evenly and making sitting feel like a luxurious experience, rather than being simply to take the weight off your feet.

When choosing the frame, you can opt for either black or white with aluminium, or all-black, complemented by the all-aluminium base and five black castors.

Three of the nine models come with a 3D headrest and, in a choice of either fabric or mesh which both come in a range of colours, you really will be hard-pushed for choice.

The Mirus Office Chair is 98 percent recyclable and really does deserve your attention, before making your mind up about which Ergohuman ergonomic chair should be the one to serve your personal needs.

Within these Walls – Cubicles or Open-Plan?

Offices used to have four walls but, as time moved on, open-plan moved in and, instead of having private space in which to perform one’s job, ‘one office for all’ became fashionable, making a quiet working environment a thing of the past.

Then the cubicle design arrived in the late sixties, giving a feeling of privacy but a continued problem with background noise.  Described as an acoustic sieve, our understanding the difficulty of this environment probably only hits home when we phone a call centre for some kind of advice and can hear everyone else but the person that is helping us.

As office space became smaller, the computer industry seemed to respond, large monitors being replaced by flat screens and filing cabinets being replaced by CDs and pen drives.  Research in America proved that by removing all the then redundant filing cabinets, offices could be smaller and the cost of renting space could be greatly reduced.

However, working in a cubicle can be very stressful, since background noise does make concentration very difficult.  Personal space may now be down to a ten feet by ten feet square (although it is only three-sided), within which you have everything you need.  Your office is transforming into an Ergonomic Office, so makes sence to have a good ergonomic office chair. Your ergonomic desk may now be L-shaped against two walls, so the flat screen lifted from the desk top by an adjustable monitor arm makes sense, as it not only creates more workable space but allows you to adjust its angle without exerting yourself.

Getting the best office chair for you is now paramount, as all actions will most likely be done from a sitting position. An adjustable chair should not only address appropriate back support but have swivel movement and be correctly sized to fit both the user and the designated work space.

Research has also indicated that the two most important points that need to be addressed in a successful working space are the ability to work uninterrupted and to have easy and frequent interaction with others.  If these two factors are realised, team work and job satisfaction can increase by as much as twenty three percent. A cocktail office may therefore be the answer.  Rather like a cubicle but with a sliding glass door, this office will improve the acoustic situation and an open door can indicate the occupant’s agreement to interruption at selected times. That same door will also have a positive psychological effect, as having one’s own office does give a feeling of importance, which often displays itself in the increased quantity and quality of work produced.
