5 Awesome Desk Accessories For The Modern Worker

The modern office worker is always looking for ways to improve productivity and efficiency. That's where we come in! 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. When it comes to CPU holders, you can't go wrong with the CPU05 from ESI Ergonomic Solutions. It's available for just $124.00 and even swivels to give it's users easier access to rear inputs.

Two screens are better than one! If you're ready to take corporate computing to a whole new level, make the switch to a dual screen mounting system today. 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.
