Your employees spend most of their waking life at the office. The office has become a sort of a second home. It is, therefore, important to keep it comfortable.

Keeping your employees comfortable will boost their morale and make them more productive. Getting the right office equipment is the first step in that direction.

Below is a selection of office equipment that your employees will appreciate.

Adjustable, Ergonomic Chair

Most of the time we spend in the office, we are in a seated position. It is important that the chair is comfortable. Lower back support is especially crucial.

You also want a chair that can allow your employees to sit in multiple positions, to stretch, recline, and even have that occasional afternoon nap. A chair that improves mobility, such as a swivel chair or one with wheels, will be much appreciated. Also, consider a chair with adjustable armrests.

Standing Desk

People are becoming more and more aware of the need for an active lifestyle. A standing desk gives your staff the option of working while standing.

It increases blood flow to the limbs and to the brain, making your employees more productive, helping to prevent type 2 diabetes, and burning calories at the same time.

Alternatively, you can buy adjustable legs separately, and attach them on existing desks.

Carpeting

Commercial carpet installation is useful for a few reasons. For one, it provides extra padding. You may not realize how the structure of the floor transfers stress to employees' bone structure, as they stand or sit in the office; carpet reduces some of the pressure. It also creates a cozier feel in the office.  

Footrest

This is an original idea that few employers ever think of. Because office employees stay seated for long periods of time, this footrest will come in handy to help improve blood circulation. Get one fitted with massage balls for greater comfort.

Lounge Furniture

Your employees will be sure to appreciate a separate area where they can lounge, away from their working stations.

This can be a game room or coffee space, complete with lounge furniture: an armchair, a couch, and a coffee table will be perfect for that much needed break.

You could also add a coffee dispenser, a microwave, and a water dispenser to complete that homely feel.

Final Thoughts

It takes more than a salary increase to please your employees. Minor adjustments in your office equipment can go a long way in making your employees enjoy working for you.
