            Ergonomics

            Office ergonomics not only means a comfortable and properly adjusted chair. It also stands for the overall approach that allows people to adjust office tools and devices to their physical and mental capacities. Our bodies are meant to be in constant motion. We cannot be creative and productive while spending 8 hours in one place. So how should you encourage your employees to use the whole office space? How should you arrange the work environment so that it supports your employees’ health?

            As many as 80% of employees claim that a company’s strategy for employee well-being will be a factor in determining whether they will join and stay at a particular organisation for the next 10 years.* The type of office equipment and the method of office arrangement have a huge influence on employees’ work comfort: the temperature and air quality of an interior, good acoustic properties, and lighting that varies in intensity depending on the time of day. How can you take care of all these aspects to reduce employee turnover?

            Healthier work

            The sedentary lifestyle that comes with our modern-day life concerns all people. We spend more than 13 hours per day sitting still. And we relax in a passive way. Sitting still negatively impacts our health. I think we should be aware that we need to exercise. We should remember that working out after work is not enough. We should break up with our sitting positions in the office. We’ve got to move, people!

            Daan Drenth
            Ergonomics advisor, Rohde & Grahl BV

            Adjust the workstation to your needs. Sit actively: lean backwards while having a conversation and let your back rest; use the sit/stand option of your desk – stand for a short period of time, but frequently.

            Change your working posture 4–8 times a day; move for at least 2 minutes every half an hour spent at your desk.

            Take care of your sight – every 20 minutes move your eyes from the computer screen to a distant object, look at something green or close your eyes for 20 seconds.

            Step away from your desk, stretch your back and shoulders, loosen up your wrists, and strengthen your legs.

            Ergonomic solutions

            Office chairs are being equipped with more and more advanced mechanisms that allow the user to lean backwards on the backrest or ensure micro movements of the user’s pelvis, hips, torso, shoulders and neck. The user’s spine is supported solidly at every moment, even when the user changes their body position. The so-called dynamic support allows the user to release their tensed muscles and minimise the risk of injury. Moreover, the chairs are designed so that they can match the natural curves of the human body and reduce the unnecessary pressures, e.g. below the user’s knees.

            4ME

            Ergonomics and comfort – obviously they were inspirations for Martin Ballendat while desiging the 4ME line. The armchair is a perfect example of how top-grade design can be combined with functionality.

            Navigo

            A functional and properly adjusted chair is the basis of office ergonomics. Navigo is an ideal solution for modern office spaces.

            Sail

            Transparency, lightness and pure elegance. These 3 catchwords describe the new Sail product family in its most important characteristics. In addition to diverse functionality, the freedom of movement and comfort play a significant role with Sail. Both are particularly facilitated through the slender and flexible design of the backrest.

            Desks with height adjustment are simple solutions that can improve work comfort significantly. They allow the user to change their body position frequently, regardless of the type of task that is performed at a given moment. Particular models differ in terms of functionality and the scope of adjustment possibilities. We encourage you to discover our solutions and choose those you consider the best for your organisation.

            Play&Work

            Desks with height adjustment – both single desks and workbench workstations – are elements of the Red Dot award-winning Play&Work system, designed by WertelOberfell studio. The most characteristic features of the system are the unique round leg, metal and upholstered panels, and accessories that reference the Bauhaus style. The panels can be fitted with a full range of functional and colourful accessories, such as a pencil box, a binder shelf, magnetic boards or a headphones hanger.

            eModel

            Ergonomics is the general principle behind our office design, especially where a PC is the main working tool. A desk with electrically controlled height adjustment, available as part of the system, allows table parameters to be quickly adjusted to the user’s height. Maintaining a correct body position contributes to improved work comfort, good health and general physical and mental state.

            Work styles have changed a lot. It is important to us to make sure an office follows the latest trends, supports employees in performing various tasks, and provides them with a healthy and friendly work environment. Nowadays people carry out many tasks in a team. They often need quick consultations and come up with brilliant ideas during informal meetings. An office with long desk rows does not offer enough space for these activities. It is also worth providing employees with an interestingly arranged office space – equipped with sofas that have high walls where they can isolate themselves from undesired stimuli, places designed for teleconferences, rooms with pouffes for creative meetings, silent rooms, fun rooms, or spacious canteens where they can recharge their batteries and get to know their colleagues better. These solutions not only increase a team’s efficiency and engagement, but also allow employees to change their body position and take care of their spine.

            The current technology allows us to use the right mechanisms that help us take care of users’ health. For instance, the S-MOVE mechanism enables the user to move their body smoothly and naturally in three different dimensions. Our patented GLIDE-TEC mechanism supports the user’s back in changing its shape – from straight to rounded – while the divided Duo-Back backrest follows the user’s back movements and provides support to the spine-surrounding muscles, without putting any pressure on the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. It is also important to mention that one office chair is often used by a few people, so a wide range of adjustments and intuitiveness are crucial. They allow users to adjust the chair to their body size and shape quickly and precisely.

Our Product Management and Product Implementation Departments are responsible for all of these activities.

            Users’ well-being is as important to us as their comfort, which is why we pay attention not only to our products, but also to the overall work environment. We survey organisations and advise our clients on acoustics, access to daylight, the number and type of office zones, etc. We also help them choose the right arrangement style to match the company, creating a talent-attracting atmosphere and increasing employees’ satisfaction.
