Ask anyone: sitting in the same position for 6 hours is never a good idea. Posture, back pain and a whole host of over health issues can arise from being sat hunched over a desk.

That’s why ergonomic design is so important. It’s about making sure your health is kept in mind when designing. And for us at Connect Resource, it is something we take to heart. That’s where sit-stand desks come in. Easily able to be converted, it can let you work standing up or sitting down, giving you flexibility in your work, whilst also keeping your welfare in mind.

The home office is becoming more important then ever. This year has seen more people begin to work from home then ever before, thanks in part to the effects of the pandemic. And whilst this certainly does not mean we will be saying goodbye to the traditional office any time soon, it does that your home workspace needs to be able to handle the tasks of day to day work.

Using smart, compact design, you can have a hub of productivity and creativity to help you bring your best work each day. From organized, neat filling cabinets to allow for clutter free workspaces to comfortable, ergonomic deckchairs, your home office can provide you with the perfect environment for your working day.

When it comes to designing, creating and maintaining offices, it is not simply about placing some desk and a conference room. It is about making a office that will help productivity and creativity, whilst presenting a beautiful and innovative workspace, all while paying conscious attention to the health of people. Making sure an office can match up to all of these points may seem daunting, but to us at Connect Resource, we relish the challenge.

When it comes to looking out for the health of people, we are always making sure to help boost the work environment. For example, lounge areas have become extremely popular in offices. No longer consigned to the reception for visitors, longer areas with comfy sofas and relaxing armchairs give workers the necessary space to relax and unwind in the busy, often hectic work day.

From being able to put your feet up on a beautiful foot rest to having time to socialize in comfort on your lunch break, it is not just physical health, but mental health that lounge areas help with. And we at Connect Resource are always looking to help both, for you and your employees.

The office is the heart of a company. From the creative ideas produced, the discussions with clients, to the conversations between colleagues, it all comes from the office space. So when it comes to design, it is extremely important to make sure you have the office interior that best suits your company.

From useful and innovative ergonomic design, aiding workers in each task, beautiful and stylish layouts, presenting your company exactly how you want, to protective screens and divisible workstations, that can keep each person safe, whilst not disrupting the flow of the office, a good design should be able to cater to needs of the office in question.

When it comes to designing, creating and maintaining offices, it needs to represent your company, support each worker and help the beat of the company each and every day.

When it comes to great ergonomic design, every part of the office is important, every piece of furniture is vital in creating a great workspace that can truly help those working in the environment.

And part of that is making sure you have the right chair for the job. It may seem unimportant but it matters far more then you may first realise. The right office chair can keep you not only comfortable, but also focused on the work at hand. From the health of those working, to helping them produce their best work, good ergonomic design makes sure that the office is productive, as well as comfortable.

You need what will bring the best out of your work, keeping you focused on the task at hand whilst being comfortable and practical, be it for a full workforce or a home office.

One of the main aspects you need from your office is that it has your health in mind. If your workspace is uncomfortable you will not be able to focus and both short term and long term health problems can occur from sitting uncomfortably.

That is where items such as sit-stand desks come in. Able to raise up from their usual height, they allow you to work to whatever you need. For us at Connect Resource, this is important to who we are. We design, create and maintain with the health of people in mind, so that we can help you have the best office possible.

With the millennial generation set to comprise a projected 75 percent of workers by 2025, the workplace as we know it is fundamentally changing. This young workforce requires space for collaboration, places to unwind, recharge, and connect with their coworkers, the comforts of home, and an eco-friendly, healthy work environment. For an employer, understanding how to accommodate the needs of a new generation of employee may seem like a daunting task, but it does not have to be.

Make Your Office Millennial-Friendly Through Smart Design

A millennial-friendly office is more than just aesthetics, it is about improving the overall workplace experience for employees.

Comforts of Home

Young people are accustomed to living in an “always-connected” world. With access to email and friends 24/7, they do not separate home life and work life as much as previous generations. When they are in the office, they need the workspace to be comfortable as if they were at home. This new way of working is often referred to as “work-casual” design. Employers can accommodate the desire for work-life integration by including some simple home comforts.

• A kitchen with places to store their food or snacks.
• Areas with couches or comfortable furniture where they can collaborate with coworkers.
• Quiet zones for independent work

 

Space for Collaboration and Creativity

Creating spaces for collaboration and creativity gives young employees variety in their work environments and supports their desire for social interaction during the workday. Since they are always connected, millennials are accustomed to working in different areas with different people. This means fewer cubicles and private offices, and more open-concept spaces for collaboration. These spaces for collaboration are not just another boardroom; they can be breakout spaces, lounges, booths, kitchens, hallways, or open-concept areas with couches. This flexible work environment is what the millennial workforce desires and has been proven to considerably increase productivity. Employees are more likely to stay engaged when they have the freedom to move around to different areas while working.

Eco-Friendly Space

Millennials grew up with more of an awareness of the need to recycle, conservation and the threat of global warming, so it is only natural that environmental practices of an organization should be a concern. Young employees prefer when companies use recycled or reclaimed materials and these can be incorporated into office design: recycled materials in office furniture, LED lighting instead of florescent bulbs, etc. These items not only appeal to millennial workers but can also contribute to reduced costs.

Health Conscious Work Environments

Millennials want their health and well-being to be taken into consideration when designing and furnishing an office. Offering them the option to work at sit/stand workstations will promote healthy work habits and show that you care about their well being. For the times that they are sitting, provide seating that promotes good posture and comfort. Choosing the right chairs, keyboards and monitor arms can make a significant difference.

Adapt Your Work Environment to Keep Up with Modern Needs

Workspaces can and should be designed in a way that allows young employees to thrive while not compromising aesthetics and the bottom line. A well-designed office environment can inspire and engage young workers and increase retention. Consider their mindset and create a work environment in which they will succeed. This will demonstrate that you care about them, and as a result they will work harder and stay longer. The millennial wave is here, so ensure you incorporate their needs and wants into your workspace design.
