Organizing the Office Space

Published: Mar 4, 2016

A well-organized office is a productive office. Working in a messy environment is nobody’s dream (unless you’re Sherlock Holmes, or work independently without having to rely on other co-workers, if any). Yet, some offices lay disorganized with piles and piles of uncategorized files and documents all over the desks (and chairs and floors).

If your office is suffering from such an affliction, here is Nicole Groshek from National Business Furniture with the best advice on systematizing your office.

How to Unclutter Your Office

It’s the start of 2016, and now is a great time to reflect on the past year and make resolutions for the year ahead. If keeping your work space uncluttered is on your to-do list, then take a look at this list that will make your work a little easier.

Organize in chunks. If your work space is a mess then trying to clean it all at once will just frustrate you and set you up for failure. Instead, take it one area at a time. Spend 10 minutes a day or less tidying up one aspect of your work area and you’ll be able to get it all done stress-free in no time. See full post here

To effectively organize your office, you need proper desks, file cabinets, bookcases and other office storage. Head to our collection of top-quality office furniture at reasonable prices at vision-oi.com.

The modern office is moving toward the standing desk. Due to health concerns and supposed benefits of standing while working, we have seen CEOs of big companies and school students alike adopt the standing desk. So what makes a good standing desk and how do you choose one that fits your needs?

Depending on your budget and preferences, you can choose between two certain types of furniture for your office – laminated and veneered. Modern laminates are durable and come in many designs, but lack the finesse and warmth of real wood. Veneers are sheets of real higher quality wood of varying thickness. Furniture made of cheaper wood or plywood can look rich and charming with the application of veneers.

Choosing between veneers and laminates can be quite tricky if you don’t know what makes them apart.

Mary Sargeant from National Business Furniture has quite a few tips in case it confounds you:

Veneer or Laminate?

Years ago, in a much different environment, than I work in now, a coworker said, “We spend more time with each other at work than we do with our families— I’m glad I like you guys.” How true, I thought. I still think so today, in my corporate office environment. Unless you work with your spouse or teach in the school that your children attend, it is likely that you spend more waking hours in close contact with coworkers than with your family.

Same goes for your office furniture. Even if you sit in the same spot on the couch at home to put your socks on in the morning and watch a show or two before the news at night, you still can’t top the number of hours you sit in your office chair or use your desk or filing cabinet.

At your workplace, if you are a decision-maker or influencer concerning office furniture purchases, there is a lot to consider when you make the leap to new furniture. You’ll be using it every day for years to come, so it needs to be aesthetically pleasing, and functional for the long haul. Not to mention durable. I mean, even the graceful among us occasionally slam a drawer or roll their chair on the edge of their desk once in a while, right? I do tend to use my chair as a transportation device. Watch out if you happen to be in its trajectory. See full post here:

Productivity Hacks: Exercise

Consider this: your employees spend hours sitting at their desks. For most office workers, this amounts to about 180-230 hours a month spent sitting, and about 2100-2800 hours a year! Such a sedentary lifestyle goes against the natural modus Vivendi and inevitably results in health issues. Poor health among your employees, to put it nicely, is not very good for the productivity of your organization. Luckily, this trouble can be easily avoided.

There are many fixes being talked about currently, including a migration to standing desks, but not a lot of them deal with the simple solution – exercise! Exercise is healthy for you, but how do you fit a workout schedule in the office deadlines and cubicle space of your employees?

Well, take a look at this article by Carey Goldberg on the CommonHealth website for a complete answer:

The Office Corner Workout: A Dozen Quickie Exercises You Can Do In Your Cubicle

No, you didn’t read the headline wrong. This is not the “corner office workout,” for the elite who occupy spacious private offices. This is the “office corner workout” for cubicle-dwelling plebes who occupy space only as wide as our arm-spans, and pop up like prairie dogs to confer with each other.

In our class, there’s often not enough floor space to do a push-up or a crunch without risk of being run over by an oblivious colleague’s office chair. But here, Rick DiScipio, assistant manager of Boston University’s FitRec Center, demonstrates the minimalist glory of the simple but powerful moves we can do at or near our desks. (If, that is, we can also establish a workplace culture that accepts our colleagues’ quiet exertions.) See full post here

Research suggests that breaking this sedentary routine for a few minutes of physical activity can boost the physical as well as mental well-being of employees. You’ll be surprised how effectively it augments the productivity of your organization. Another thing that helps increase office productivity is proper furniture. Offices that use well-built and ergonomic furniture report a higher performance rate per employee.
