New Year, New Office! Freshen Your Workspace in 2017

Take a look around the desk in your office. It should be familiar and comfortable and efficient to you, but when’s the last time you made any major changes to it? Has your space evolved through the years or is it the same chair and monitor and lamp you had when you started? Are you sure they’re letting you be at your most productive? Every new year invites everyone to rethink who they are and to try some new things. Improving your office space is an easy place to start.

Check out our New Year, New Office page for a number of great ideas for big-ticket upgrades to your office. Does your desk space work for the way you use it? If you need more storage or your work surfaces need to be positioned better, a new desk may be worth the investment. Selected Bush and Hon desks are now on sale. If folders and record keeping space is becoming scarce, consider a new file cabinet from Lorell. How about your seating? If your current chair is wearing out or uncomfortable, we have models on sale from Alera, OIF, Lorell, and Hon.

Lorell Desktop Sit-Stand Workstation

This is also a good time to convert your desk into a sit-stand workstation. Standing desks allow you to work either sitting or standing, improving metabolism, alertness, and posture. We have several models available that adjust your keyboard and monitor to allow work from either position. Options on sale include Lorell and Victor for converters where the monitor stands on the surface, and Ergotron and Balt for models where the monitor (or monitors in dual screen stations) mounts.

In addition to all these great products on sale, our New Year, New Office page also has coupons available for any refurbishing. Right now, get $20 off an order with at least $100 worth of office decor products such as lamps, frames, or other decorations!

Creating a Fun and Healthy Work Atmosphere

What kind of workplace atmosphere do you have? Making sure employees are happy and productive might be the basic questions to ask, but creating a positive workplace goes beyond those. Some of the keys are fundamental- working equipment, good lighting, and dedicated space for taking breaks are easy things to undervalue when planning a work space, but can make a huge difference in employee morale and efficiency.

Other things might be considered supplemental, but suggest that a company goes the extra mile to care for everybody in the family. At OfficeSupply.com, these nice extras make for a fun and friendly environment that cares for everybody who works here.

OfficeSupply.com is committed to employee health, offering many ways to stay healthy throughout the day. Anyone in the company is free to use our treadmill desk, which is set up to do work or take phone calls while keeping your feet moving. Those wishing to stay at their workstation can take advantage of a desk bike to get the blood pumping. Also, everyone is free to install a standing desk system, giving us another way to work on our feet and avoid the health problems caused by too much sitting.

 Our collaboration area invites employees to get together and discuss ideas. The couch and chairs are nice for informal meetings, the dry erase easel invites brainstorming, and the table is networked to allow multiple people to use the same computer. This allows projects to be introduced or worked on without occupying a meeting room.

 

Throughout the month, we have a number of holiday events to bring us together. We invited everybody to decorate their office or workstation, with a prize for the winner (chosen by visitors to our Facebook page). Besides a fun contest, the end result is a more festive atmosphere throughout the entire office. Other events later this month will include an ugly sweater contest and a hot cocoa bar.
