Has one of your employees recently requested an expensive office chair for your call center? You may think a pricey chair is unnecessary for your workplace, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
A high-quality office chair is built with the people who will be using it in mind. It's not "just a chair;" it's a tool that improves productivity and makes your employees feel more comfortable while they're conducting the tasks that make your workforce successful.
In today's world of computer-based working, most employees sit for extended periods. Yet some job functions require employees to be seated for hours and hours without being able to walk around or move far from their work areas. Specifically, industries that require 24-hour, intensive focus fall into this category.
There's a wide range of price points for office chairs, based on the quality and features with which they’re designed. Inexpensive office chairs don't provide proper support of the back and buttocks, which is essential for people who are going to be sitting for most of their workdays.
Back pain can easily turn into pain throughout one's body, as various muscles try to compensate for the initial discomfort. This, in turn, can reduce employee productivity and even cause a spike in sick days or doctors' visits if your employees' seats are poorly designed. Have you heard that sitting is the new smoking? Cheap chairs that don't allow proper blood flow — particularly for employees who sit for all or most of their shifts — can lead to cardiovascular issues and other serious health problems.
Some expensive office chairs, on the other hand, incorporate design features that reduce pain and discomfort, which can ensure better blood flow and greater overall support of workers' bodies. Some office chairs are intentionally designed for 24-hour, intensive-use workplaces, such as call centers and security monitoring facilities. In these types of environments, employees need to be attentive to their tasks. If they're in pain, they may lose concentration, which can ultimately affect their employers' bottom lines.
Keep the price tag out of the equation for a moment and picture the reasons why one chair might be more expensive than another. Higher price points often indicate a chair was created with features such as:
Especially in intensive-use workplaces, exceptional chairs are essential. The following are a few benefits you'll realize when you make the right investment:
