Ergonomics don’t stop at the workplace – support your work from home employees by offering an all encompassing solution that empowers your workforce and your brand. Staying ahead of this is critical to the future of your business because if anything is certain, it’s this: remote work is here to stay.
Now, that may look like a hybrid work model or completely remote. But here’s the catch, if brands want to evolve alongside their workforces, a shift in perspective needs to follow suit.
With the increasing demand (and benefits) of working from home, it’s only right to take a step back and reflect on how we – as employers – can lead the way to promote a healthy workplace for your WFH employee.
One of the many ways to do this is by supporting or incentivizing employees to upgrade their WFH space. There’s much more to gain from this than simply providing new furniture. When an employee takes pride in their remote office space, they are more likely to stay connected to their job and company. And while some may argue that these kinds of upgrades can transpire into frivolous, unnecessary spending, our design experts have seen genuine results from improved physical & mental health to employee morale as a whole.
How you choose to empower your employees is up to you – but first consider the benefits your bottom line reaps.
Support Employees With Furniture Centered Around Wellness
Attracting and retaining the right people for your company starts by showing them you care. This can be difficult to do if your entire team is working remotely or only comes into the office a few days out of the week. If you find yourself in this position, we suggest helping them with a few simple solutions. One solution provides an easy online buying experience for shoppers to buy independently. Our ongoing partnership with SitOnIt makes shopping for WFH products easy and accessible for the savvy online buyer. Another option can provide a furniture solution that brings the work office home. Our Haworth partner has made it easy and affordable to support your team at home with their WFH products that can ship and be installed by the remote worker. Either way your employee will see the benefit in upgrading from the kitchen table.
For a limited time, your employees can enjoy a 53% discount on furniture and equipment that can make their workday a little easier and a lot more comfortable. Simply head to their website and use our discount code: CK7729 to lock in special savings!
One Benefit Of A WFH Office Upgrade To Consider
Adding some personality to a WFH office is not only fun to do, but beneficial. It creates an opportunity for employees to express themselves and channel creativity into their unique environment. This not only supports productivity and ideating, but ongoing wellness, too. It’s no secret we’re all wired differently, which is why a WFH office upgrade can look different for each of us – all while driving home key benefits that trickle into long term results.
Your WFH Space Should Support All Concentration Modes
A workspace must empower all realms of thinking: from creativity to productivity all while promoting general wellbeing. Having different furniture and equipment in a WFH office gives us the flexibility to shift between work modes. This easy to implement strategy is a benefit to the overall productivity of your employee.
A Designated Work Station Helps Us Focus
Just like most things, there is a time and place for work. And it goes without saying that the way we work is changing. Having a designated work station or home office helps us focus when it’s time to knock out tasks. When it’s time to check out, we can shut the door (or leave the space) and tune back into our personal lives.
Not All Office Furniture Is Created Equal
A pull up chair and table was meant to support a few hours (at most) of work time – not entire work days or even workweeks. Swapping out inappropriate furniture for ergonomic chairs and standing desks can help support day-to-day operations by providing the correct ergonomic environment for WFH employees.
Remote Employees Need Supportive Work Environments
Just because some (or all) of your employees are working from home doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have access to the equipment and furniture they need. Businesses have plenty of options when it comes to setting their remote workers up for success. One approach is utilizing programs like SitOnIt where employees can save 53% on WFH essentials, tech, and ergonomic furniture. This not only encourages your team to take pride in their workspace, but sets a sound example that their employer wants what’s best for them – no matter if they’re in the office or not. The long lasting benefits keep everyone engaged in what they’re working on without hindering a healthy work-life balance.
If you’re looking to roll out a company-sponsored program that pairs your employees with the right WFH furniture and equipment our design experts are here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our tailored commercial services.
