Before you can even think about investing in cubicle desk systems, modern office chairs or ergonomic desks, you will need to find the right office design and fit-out partner. This partner will be equipped to advise you in terms of what kind of office set-up will be best for your business and your company culture, from modern office cubicles, stunning conference and collaborative areas, to open-plan workplaces.
Here are our top tips for choosing the right office design company to assist you in this all-important journey: Vision and Cultural Integration Anybody can pick out ten cubicles for ten people and put them in a layout. But a serious office design partner won’t even start talking about furniture until they know the soul of your company, and what kind of culture you are trying to achieve. The discussion of company culture and values is the soul of good office design. Experience Most companies have good experience but what kind of experience is a better question. Do they simply make nice layouts of desks or do they partner with you for a soup to nuts solution to your company’s buildout? Do they understand how to choose design elements and use color to create unique and compelling workspaces? Experience is more than how long they’ve been in business, its how they’ve chosen to focus that time. Facilities and Showroom Visiting an office design company’s facility and/or showroom can provide you with greater insight into the type of work that they do, the quality of the manufacturers they represent, as well as whether it is in line with your company’s aesthetic vision.. Design Process Design competence can be evaluated by looking at other company offices they have created and the discussion of how they will approach the unique build out of your new company culture. Consider the following: Does the company have an in-house design team? Do they offer concept visuals and unlimited layout revisions? Do they have a dedicated in-house advisor that you can work with face-to-face on your project? Comprehensive Project Management Your little office furniture project will quickly become a monster, and seem like a second full time job if you partner with the wrong company. Who will track and manage furniture delivery? Who disposes of the old furniture? Will the office be properly prepped before arrival of new items? What do the employee’s do in the meantime? What about permits and inspections, who handles that? A proper office design partner will handle most of this for you if you want them to, right down to cleaning the office and immediately responding to requests for repair or adjustment of furniture.

Remember when you were younger and your parents or teachers would reprimand you for slouching? While many of us would want great posture, we are a nation of slouchers. Slouching isn’t just an aesthetic problem it can also lead to back problems – something that costs American companies over $100 billion each year.
It may seem like slouching isn’t something that can be fixed, with most office workers spending an average of 38 minutes out of every hour in bad posture. There are, however, a few essential ergonomic wellness tips that every office should implement to combat bad posture. Below we mention a few: Be Comfortable If you are sitting at your desk in front of your computer and something feels off, it’s time to move. Re-adjust yourself so that you are always working in a comfortable position. Sit Properly in Your Office Chair The right position is to ‘sit on your butt bones’. Move your bottom to the back of your office chair so that your pelvis faces your desk. This way, your body won’t have to expend a lot of energy for you to sit up straight. Put Your Keyboard in the Right Place You will never be in a comfortable sitting position if your keyboard isn’t positioned correctly. Sit in front of your desk and drop your arms so that they hang by your sides. Relax your shoulders and bend your elbows. The place where your fingertips are is where you should put your keyboard. Move Around the Office Spend at least between 5 and 10 minutes of every hour on your feet or moving around. Set Reminders Set a reminder on your computer to remind you to focus on your posture each day. Simply thinking about the way you sit and how you can reposition yourself will keep your posture front and center.
