5 Ergo Minded Office Remodeling Tips for 2017

Are you on the hunt for ways to make your office interior more ergonomically correct in 2017? You're in the right place! Today on The Office Anything Blog we'll provide you with 5 helpful tips to keep in mind when remodeling your workspace. Working smart and working healthy go hand in hand. These insightful pointers will have you at your best in no time.

1.) The Chair Is Only As Good As Its Owner

You don't need to rush out and purchase the most expensive ergonomic office chair for your remodeling project. Sure it probably has some great features. That being said, you need to select a chair based on your personal needs and body type. When selecting a new office chair for your workspace, take the time to consult with the professionals about your current areas of discomfort. They'll help you choose a chair outfitted with the features needed to solve your problems. In the long run, the office chair is only as good as its owner. You have to take the time to master your chair and its adjustments to get the most out of it. Spending a fortune on a chair won't do much for your operational comfort if you don't take the time to understand its benefits and put them to use. In truth, you can find a highly comfortable ergonomic office chair that will help reduce back pain and improve posture from a brand like Global Total Office, Eurotech, or Offices To Go for under $350.00.

2.) Not All Computer Accessories Are Created Equal

All too often, consumers try to incorporate too many ergonomic computer accessories into their remodeling projects. This typically results in very few of them being put to use properly. It's best to integrate ergonomic add-ons one at a time.

We recommend starting with an articulating keyboard tray. It will help you compute at correct and healthy angles while simultaneously increasing the amount of usable desk space present at your workstation. From there, you can move on to a dual monitor system that will help keep your screens at eye level while reducing the time spent flipping through tabs. If you want to take things a step further, consider integrating an under mount CPU holder that will attach below your desk surface. This will provide you with lots of extra knee space while protecting your important digital information from water damage and theft.

We highly recommend selecting ergonomic products from a brand you can trust. This year you can't go wrong with the computer accessories from brands like Mayline, Systematix, ESI Ergonomic Solutions, and Symmetry Office.

3.) Sit To Stay Operating Is The Way of The Future

When remodeling your office interiors, you need to keep the benefits of sit to stand operating in mind. As sitting for extended periods of time can actually shorten your life span, integrating a sit to stand work surface into your space is just plain smart. With a sit to stand office desk you'll be able to reduce fatigue and improve blood flow by promoting continuous movement.

You can't go wrong with high quality sit to stand products from reputable brands like Mayline and Global Total Office. If you're looking to retrofit your current space, consider adding a sit to stand desktop riser from a brand like OFM or Systematix.

4.) Focus On Productivity

In the long run, it's all about productivity. Before purchasing a product for your ergo minded office interior, ask yourself "will it make me more productive"? If the answer is no, you can probably save the money. Today's top ergonomic products improve productivity by promoting healthy posture, versatility, blood flow, and functionality. We've provided a few of our favorites below.

• OFM 5100 Desktop Riser
• ESI Ergorise Station
• Symmetry Office Harmony CPU Holder
• Mayline EZKC2 Dual Screen Monitor Arm
• Systematix Volante Station

5.) Continue To Evolve

Those with this mindset often find themselves suffering from common office epidemics that result in diminished productivity levels. You have to keep yourself up to date with new and innovative ways to promote good posture and blood flow while reducing fatigue and strain.

Today on the Office Anything Blog we're showcasing 5 awesome desk accessories designed to do just that. From retractable CPU holders to articulating keyboard trays, these office add-ons are a must have.

Knee space is always at a premium in the office. We're typically fighting for space from the moment we pull up our chair to the desk because the CPU is right under our feet. By adding an ergonomic CPU holder you'll instantly improve operational functionality. An undercount CPU holder will mount your computer's power source below the desk surface on retractable glides that allow it to be slid in and out of position when needed. Wire routing and device charging has never been easier. With your CPU mounted up and off the ground, you'll also be protected against water damage, as well as theft.

The integration of a monitor mount will reduce visual strain while simultaneously increasing usable desk space. Not to mention, you'll cut down on all that time spent clicking between those open tabs in your browser. If you really want to give your office the edge, check out the EFMA-2-U-B model mount from Ergo Contract Furniture. It features base level USB inputs for improved versatility. It's no doubt one of the most high tech mounts on the market in 2016.

Visual strain is a productivity killer! When your eyes become fatigued, it translates to decreased efficiency and overall effectiveness. To fight back, consider the addition of a simple desk lamp to shed some additional light on those important projects. We absolutely love the Rhythm series LED task light from the team at Symmetry Office. This awesome desk top accessory really comes in handy and barely takes up any space.

Finding ways to stay healthy at work is super important. Around the holiday season germs are commonly passed around the office that translate into pesky colds that are tough to kick. A desk top hygiene station will help you keep your hands clean and avoid the bug. You can create your own hygiene station or purchase a cool one from Safco like the 4260SL for just $64.99. Simply put, staying healthy will keep productivity levels high. Having sanitizer on your desk means you'll constantly be thinking about keep your hands clean. Less germs, better healthy, improved work!

Last but certainly not least, upgrade your desk with the addition of an articulating keyboard tray. Every modern worker needs to compute at the correct angles to reduce the risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome while simultaneously improving typing comfort. Retractable keyboard platforms have been around for some time. That being said, sit to stand models like the Balance 3 from Symmetry Office are the way of the future. Articulating sit to stand keyboard platforms promote continuous movement in the workplace and reduce extended sitting sessions that can be damaging to your health.

Do you ever find yourself sitting with your feet propped up on the base of your office chair? That's perching! This poor posture habit restricts blood flow and limits functionality. Your best bet is to operate with your feet facing forward and flat on the ground. The natural sitting position may not be the coolest, but it's certainly the most beneficial!

2.) The Lazy Boy

Your office chair may recline, but that doesn't make it a recliner! Don't extend your legs out in front of your and cross your feet like you do on those long Saturday movie session. Much like perching, this poor posture habit limits blood flow and will have you falling prey to fatigue in no time.

3.) Hunching

The back of your task chair provides lot's of ergonomic values that you don't want to miss out on by hunching over your keyboard tray to type. Each time you lean away from your office chair to work, your spine left fitting the bill. Strive to keep your back in contact with you chair at all times to achieve correct posture and optimal support.

4.) Stare Down

Still having trouble remembering where those computer keys are? It's time to break the habit of looking down to type. When you stare down at your computer keyboard tray you're falling into bad posture. Looking down puts strain on your neck and causes unnecessary fatigue that can be avoided with a little practice. Even if you've mastered the keyboard, you'll still need to make sure your computer screen is at eye level. While an ergonomic monitor arm is the preferred choice, if funds are tight, you can get by with a stack of books to ensure you're not looking down at your monitors.


5.) Extended Sits

Even workers with great posture habits can slip back into a rut. To avoid falling prey to this epidemic, take short breaks! As sitting for long periods of time can actually shorten your life span, make it a point to stand up and walk around once an hour. Get the blood flowing! Grab a sip of water. Get some fresh air. Do whatever it takes to avoid sitting at your desk for more than an hour at a time. You'll return to your desk rejuvenated and ready to operate using those quality posture habits you've worked hard to master.
