Ergonomic Computer Accessories Increase Productivity

With the advances in modern ergonomics, computer accessories have been made available that will greatly increase day to day productivity. Commonly, many think that just having an ergonomic office chair is the only necessary ergo attribute necessary to work a healthy day. Computer accessories like ergonomic monitor arms, keyboard trays, and copy holders are becoming more and more common because of the invaluable ergonomic benefits offered.

Ergonomic monitor arms are typically seen in IT offices because of there ability to hold multiple computer screens. However, benefits like increased usable desk space and mobility are making monitor arms more and more popular. Having the option of your computer screens tilt angle, depth from work station, and mounting position are attractive features that will definitely have you hooked after trying them!

Keyboard trays are often over looked for there useful benefits. Nothing is worse in my opinion than have a beautiful office desk with an old keyboard laying right on the work surface. That space is valuable! Not to mention horrible for your posture. The ability to tilt your keyboard at an angle, swivel, and hide under the desk surface are just some of the qualities that make them worth there weight in gold. My personal favorite is the padded wrist wrest standard on my ESI keyboard tray. It allows my palms to rest comfortably while I type at a much faster and accurate rate throughout the day. My WPM increase from 80 to 103 with the addition of the ESI keyboard tray.

Hopefully you will consider adding some inexpensive ergonomic office accessories to your office. The cost is minimal compared to the productivity gained and comfort level achieved.

Tips for Buying Adjustable Office Chairs

In the modern world many office spaces utilizes there desks for multiple workers throughout the day. Spaces like this require employees to constantly sit in different office chairs. While we all know, all office chairs are not created equal. Just check out the price tag on a new Herman Miller Aeron chair! For many, the price tag of these chairs is astronomical and simply un-reasonable. For that reason, I have put together some simple tips for buying adjustable office chairs on a budget.

First and foremost, office chairs that adjust are extremely important because they allow workers to utilize ergonomic features that will improve there productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Not being able to adjust your chair to your body type would be like driving your car with the seat all the way up for 8 hours at a time. It's simply uncomfortable and not healthy.

To keep the cost down on your adjustable office chairs the best tip is to contact a dealer directly. It is unwise to simply go online and purchase 20 to 30 office chairs without consulting the dealer first. Many office chair providers like ourselves offer bulk discounts, free shipping promotions, and clearance office chairs for sale to save our clients money. Commonly dealers will generate coupons for your specific order to save you money. It is important to not overlook these opportunities for saving money.

To be honest, adjustable office chairs are a necessity in my opinion. However, if your employees are not committed to using the chair and understanding the functionality, there is simply no point in spending the money. That being said, it is ergonomically responsible to have a 10 minute power meeting to go over the chair features. Explaining how your chairs operate and how to get the most out of it is just as important as saving money. Too commonly, I see expensive chairs get purchased, and used at about a third of there potential. Many companies like us, will be more than happy to have a video conference to cover these features for free! Education is a huge part of the seating business and is rewarding as well.

Overall, adjustable computer chairs will allow your employees the freedom and functionality to preform there everyday tasks with proficiency. Helping your company to choose chair functions, styles, and features wisely, while looking for ways to save money on the seating will make you look like a rock star in the workplace. Consider important features that relate to your work style, contact a reputable office chair dealer, and go from there. It's as simple as that! Best of luck to you all.
