Workplace Issues and Solutions
Light, temperature, acoustics and space are all key factors in influencing staff wellbeing within a workplace environment. Workplaces can be extremely distracting, which slows work rates down, reducing productivity and can even have an impact on individual’s health.
The company can provide a range of services starting with a free consultation and space planning to more detailed storage and work analysis. Every programme and furniture scheme is tailored to the individual client and once the main criteria are agreed, Think Furniture can begin to develop options that will greatly improve the workplace environment. Additional services include interior design boards to ensure furniture will coordinate with its surroundings, storage audits, future expansion planning and ergonomic assessments for individuals and companies.
Acoustics
Workplace acoustics can be greatly affected by many simple and everyday items and actions. Think Furniture can offer a range of solutions such as the positioning of printers and fax machines away from desk areas, noise cancelling speaker systems for privacy and fabric walls or ceiling clouds to reduce noise reflection.
Lighting
Too much or too little light within a workplace can have a detrimental effect upon an individual’s wellbeing. It is vital that sunlight glare or shadowing does not affect the way a computer user positions their body to look at the screen. Poor posture can result in back and neck issues. A monitor arm allows the user to rotate or move the monitor into the required position. Open plan office ambient light must conform to The Schedule to the Workplace (Display Screens Equipment) Regulations 1992 (Statuary Instrument 1992 No.2792), stating that any room lighting or task lighting provided shall ensure satisfactory lighting conditions and an appropriate contrast between the screen and background environment, taking into account the type of work and vision requirements of the operator. Think Furniture recommend the use of personal lighting to add additional light into a personal workspace.
Temperature
The temperature within an office or workplace environment can be affected by various things such as computers, the number of people, the amount of sunlight entering a building and exterior temperatures. The majority of businesses and study environments want individuals to feel comfortable within the workplace and use air-conditioning systems, radiators and double glazing. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require that during working hours the temperature in the workplace within a building should be reasonable at 21-23 degrees in the summer and 22-24 degrees in the winter. Think Furniture solutions for temperature regulation include window film protection from solar gain, moving desks away from radiators and windows, freestanding or ceiling mounted fans and low wattage computers and lighting systems.
Space
Actual physical space can determine how comfortable an individual is within the workplace and is as important as the positioning of the workspace. The space planning and workplace consultants can provide free detailed information and advice within this category. Space allocation is dependent upon a workplace and the type of work which is carried out. Desk space analysis can aid businesses in understanding the amount of wasted space and utilising it in a better and more productive way.
