Work-from-Home Era: Essential Home Office Equipment

Work-from-Home Era: Essential Home Office Equipment

As the world is slowly adapting to the new norm of remote work, the demand for office equipment for work-from-home (WFH) companies is gaining momentum. Setting up a comfortable and efficient workspace is crucial for remote employees' productivity and overall well-being. With the right office setup, your remote team members can create an environment that supports their work style and ensures they are comfortable throughout the day. In this blog, we will explore some of the ergonomic home office equipment WFH companies should consider providing their employees, including desks, chairs, computers, and communication tools.

Computer and Monitor

The access to a desktop computer or laptop, where employees can complete most of their work, underlies the concept of remote work. Thus, the responsibility to provide employees with laptops or computers that meet the necessary specifications lies with employers who decide to incorporate the work-from-home model into their business workflow.

In addition, a monitor placed on a monitor stand can greatly increase productivity, bringing a screen to an ergonomic height, which helps alleviate back and neck pain and reduce eye strain.

If you want to go even further in an attempt to create a truly ergonomic workspace for your employees, you can also offer them a laptop mount for an adjustable monitor arm to set up a dual-display work environment that’s surely going to boost effectiveness and productivity.

Headset or Headphones

A good quality headset or headphones can make a significant difference in the quality of remote communication. It can reduce background noise and make it easier to hear and understand colleagues or clients during online meetings or phone calls. With this said, noise-canceling headphones can also be useful in creating a quiet and focused work environment.

Adjustable Desk and Ergonomic Chair

When it comes to creating a comfortable and productive workspace at home, the desk and chair are two of the most important pieces of home office equipment. It won’t be an overstatement to say that ergonomic furniture can greatly improve remote workers' physical health and productivity.  Spending long hours in a sedentary position can be harmful, leading to health problems, such as musculoskeletal disorders and obesity, to name a few, and this is where standing desks and proper chairs come into the spotlight!

Standing Desk

Adjustable standing desks or sit-stand desks allow you to switch between sitting and standing positions throughout the day. This type of desk is a good option for people who want to get the benefits of standing desks but also need to sit down occasionally. Adjustable desks are usually more expensive than regular standing desks, but they offer more flexibility. Additionally, they are more convenient to use, enabling a user to adjust the desk’s height with the touch of a button. You can also choose from different shapes and sizes, depending on how much space is allocated for the home office and what tasks an employee is expected to perform.

Looking for a comfy and ergonomic chair? We’ve all things considered!

Ergonomic Chair

An ergonomic chair is designed considering the anatomy of the human body to provide support for your back, neck, and arms while you work. It promotes good posture and reduces the risk of back pain and fatigue caused by long sitting.  Ergonomic chairs are usually equipped with plenty of user-geared features, including seat height, back tilt, lumbar height and depth adjustment, and backrest tension control. You may also want to consider a chair with a headrest for added comfort.

Mouse and Keyboard

In addition to a good monitor, a comfortable desk and chair, an ergonomic mouse and keyboard is undoubtedly the essential “weapon” to fight for work achievements. These two items are the primary tools that connect you to your computer and help you complete tasks efficiently. Therefore, when selecting a keyboard and mouse, it is critical to consider ergonomics, connectivity, and compatibility with your computer system.

A keyboard that is comfortable to type on for extended periods can help reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, while a responsive and accurate mouse can make it easier to navigate through software programs and complete tasks.

 

Workspace Accessories

In addition to the desk and chair, there are several standing desk accessories that can make the home office more comfortable and efficient. These include:

 

  • Desk lamps to reduce eye strain and ensure better lighting for your workspace;
  • Monitor risers to elevate a monitor or laptop screen to eye level, preventing you from hunching and slouching;
  • Cable organizers for under-desk cable management to keep your workspace tidy by hiding wires and cords;
  • Under-desk drawers to declutter your desk’s space, providing extra storage for essential items;
  • Anti-fatigue mats to reduce the pressure on your feet and alleviate the strain in your back when standing.
