THE IMPORTANCE OF ACOUSTICS IN AN OPEN OFFICE

August 20, 2018

With a shift from traditional cubicle style workstations to open plan offices, workplace acoustics should not be overlooked. Without acoustics barriers the energy of conversations, phones and keyboard click are amplified, which can lead to a decrease in productivity due to distractions.

Here are a 4 products that will help with the acoustics in your office:

Workstation Screens:
Research has shown placing absorptive materials as close as possible to the noise source is most effective. Our Screenwork, Trak, Vast and Local screens are all partition systems which fit to workstations to assist in the reduction of noise reverberations. Available in a number of sizes and heights, there is a screen to suit every business.
Partitions:
Dividing areas with portable partitions allows offices to split space and section off noisier environments. Our Local and Scape screens are a simple, non-invasive solution to the issue of acoustics. Both screens feature an internal steel frame for added stability and can be inserted into any contemporary context.
Mitesco System:
From acoustic screens and in ceiling panels to phone pods, the Mitesco range makes it possible to meet various acoustic exigencies. Made entirely of polyester which has excellent absorbent qualities, it is then bonded to the inner wadding forming a single body without a break. The screens and ceiling panels can be mounted to the wall or ceiling to absorb further sound.
High Lounges:
Creating spaces specifically for privacy and louder conversations can also assist in reducing noise in the office. Our Hush and Benj lounges feature high backs with high density padding to absorb sound. Doubling as a collaborative space or privacy area, both lounges are a perfect acoustic solution.

WALK THIS WAY, TALK THIS WAY

July 25, 2018

With the average worker spending up to 9 hours a day at their desk, research has found integrating walking meetings into your work culture can have huge health benefits and increase efficiency. Here are a few reasons why your office should make the change:

Employee Health:
Walking meetings allow employees to unplug, energise and introduce physical activity into their daily routine, reducing the health consequences of sitting all day. Studies suggest 30 minutes a day of walking can have a significant impact, so why not carry it out with ordinary meetings?
Increased Collaboration:
Moving away from the more traditional setting of a conference room breaks down the organisational hierarchy of roles and promotes free thinking. Walking side by side or in a group reinforces teamwork, supporting cognitive engagement and focus.
Improves Creativity:
Research suggests nature and changes of scenery promotes divergent thinking for employees. Different environments can inspire new ideas and problem solving, not only on the walk but also afterwards.

The rise in a sedentary lifestyle has led to workers becoming conscious of their health. By replacing time spent at their desk with more active exercises, physical and mental wellbeing will improve. While not all meetings are suitable to be taken outside, knowing your intention or goal for the outcome will help determine whether it is appropriate for you or not.

WHY YOU NEED OUR CUSHI FOOT PILLOW

June 20, 2018

Introducing Cushi, our new foot pillow, designed to complete your ergonomic setup. Made of high-density foam with an anti-slip fabric underside, Cushi’s simple black aesthetic will fit into any office setting.

Created with health benefits in mind, the Cushi foot pillow can prevent long and short-term health problems. Its benefits include:

Minimising the chances of developing circulatory problems: When sitting for long periods of time with no activity, blood circulation slows down. By keeping your feet elevated and the pressure off the back of your legs, Cushi promotes blood flow and protects against fatigue and weaker muscles.
Reducing back tension: Sitting in an office chair for too long with feet improperly positioned can cause strain on your spine. Cushi helps you maintain the correct ergonomic angles by encouraging you to sit all the way back in the chair, reducing impact on your back region.
Promoting proper posture: Cushi ensures your hips are slightly higher than your knees and encourages you to move your feet around instead of keeping them flat on the floor.

Put your feet up and reduce the risk of the injury by adding the Cushi to your workspace.

Shop for Cushi on our online store today.

5 Tips to Create Sustainable Workplaces

June 15, 2018

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle has been embedded into our society to manage everyday sustainable practices. But how do we transform this ideal into common practice in the workplace? Here’s some tips on going green in your office…

1. Waste Management: Create a recycling culture within the workplace by implementing simple strategies to reduce waste. Set printers to print on both sides of the page as a default, use reusable ink cartridges and ensure there are paper recycling bins located throughout the office.

2. Work Online: Encourage staff to go paperless as much as possible by switching to an online interface. This will not only help the environment but also save on expenditure. Activities such as reading reports, invitations, meeting notes and sending documents online minimise paper waste significantly.

3. Hit The Streets: Whether you’re heading to a meeting or going to lunch, reducing the amount of time spent in a car can have a big impact. Instead of driving solo, try walking, carpooling, cycling or public transport.

4. Energy Consumption: With the amount of electrical products left on or in standby mode after business hours, small changes in electrical consumption can make a huge impact on your carbon footprint. Power-saving tips include turning off lights when not in use, switching to LED lights or investing in automatic switches that detect people’s activity. Streamline your company’s computer efficiency by disabling screensavers, turning all electronic items off when not in use and recycling them once obsolete to reduce landfill. Installing solar panels is another great long term power saving solution.

5. Extra tips: Further reduce your footprint with effortless practices such as switching to simple cleaning supplies, providing reusable dishes, silverware and glasses and encouraging employees to use reusable coffee cups and plastic containers.

With every small action adding up when it comes to office waste, introducing a holistic approach to create a workplace that cares for both people and the environment can have significant impact.
