Ergonomics

Making Life in a Cubicle Bearable

2006-07-19T11:45:00.000-07:00

Light is what makes spending eight hours a day in a cubicle bearable. As determined by the Illuminating Engineers Society of North America (link http://www.iesna.org/index.cfm) different tasks require significantly different amounts of light. Lighting affects the mood, energy and productivity in the office. A study by Cornell University states eyestrain as the number one complaint by workers. OfficeMakers™ is knowledgeable and experienced in the ergonomic design and layout of office space. If you are planning a new office and/or upgrading your current one, give us a call at 713.461.1277 and ask for John Mingus, sales manager.

Today's Office Setting

2006-07-14T13:03:00.000-07:00

Today’s office furniture and setting is defined by more than just physical space and furniture placement. The modern work culture enhances the bottom line through saving energy as well as time. Design promotes the overall synergy of the office. Generic floor plans are economically risky and can lead to a myriad of problems. Companies are realizing that employees are their most vital asset and keeping them ergonomically comfortable and fitted with the right environment increases productivity, reduces absenteeism and promotes retention of the company’s talent pool.

Planning An Office

2006-07-07T14:27:00.000-07:00

There are literally hundreds of decisions to make when planning office space. Your office design should reflect your company's image, ergonomically fit your employees, efficiently utilize your space, and maximize workflow. OfficeMakers™ understands that designing an office is no easy task and we are experts at making it as seamlessly as possible to design the perfect work environment for your company.

Consider Used Office Furniture

2006-06-29T08:59:00.000-07:00

1969 - Woodstock, Cubicles, Apollo 11

2006-04-24T08:57:00.000-07:00

The year was 1969: the #1 song was “Aquarius: Let the Sunshine In,” Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11) walked on the Moon, Joe Namath and the Jets gave the American League it’s first Super Bowl win, 400,000 people went to a little dairy farm in Bethel, N.Y. for the Woodstock Festival, John Lennon announced he was leaving the Beatles, Camille hit the Gulf Coast, Samuel Beckett won the Nobel Prize, Richard Nixon was President and an industrial revolution began with the first commercial installation of the cubicle!

Ergonomics

2006-04-11T12:05:00.000-07:00

An articulating keyboard is considered the second most important ergonomic feature of a workstation. Chairs are the primary ergonomic consideration in the workplace. Regardless of how many bells and whistles a chair has, it only becomes ergonomic when comfortably adjusted to the worker and provides the mobility need to perform necessary tasks.

Why Companies Are Choosing Cubicles

2006-04-04T07:35:00.000-07:00

The "open concept" is growing in popularity again. Open work spaces provide for greater collaboration, easy interaction among co-workers, efficient use of real estate, easier access to shared facilities and peripherals and encourages productivity and discourages personal phone calls and slacking off.

The Real Cost of Filing/Storage Systems

2006-04-03T08:49:00.000-07:00

Are you storing your files in cardboard boxes? If so, you probably pay around $10-$15 per carton. If you took the same money and bought a used grade-A metal file, you would pay $8 - $10 a drawer. If your cardboard box gets wet, everything gets wet and mildew. Stacked boxes collapse if exposed to pressure over time and fray with continual opening and moving.

Can you afford not to go with metal? It's safer and more economical.

Visit our website to see our Specials on used file cabinets.

Creating the Perfect Cubicle

2006-03-31T08:38:00.000-08:00

Designing the perfect cubicle (workstation) is an art. Workstations should facilitate the employee's needs and result in more productivity for the company. Today's ideal workstations are functional, attractive, efficient and promote the feeling of privacy in an open environment. Don't take a chance with your business. If you are planning a corporate move, floor plan reconfiguration or just want a new look, call the professionals at Officemakers for a FREE consultation. We will be glad to to over your company needs for today while looking at tomorrow's growth. Work with experts who know how a company works and what your office needs to work at a price you can afford!

Today's Economy and The Office

2006-03-30T07:52:00.000-08:00

In today's difficult economy companies are demanding service and value with the products they purchase.

Buying Pre-Owned Office Furniture

2006-03-28T14:30:00.000-08:00

Purchasing pre-owned office furniture and or workstations (cubicles) is good for the environment and for your budget. Buying pre-owned saves energy and depleting more natural resources resulting in a greater bargain for you.

Articulating Keyboards

2006-03-23T11:34:00.000-08:00

Are you uncomfortable at work? We can help. I attended a fascinating presentation this morning on ergonomic accessories for your office/workstation.

According to Dr. Alan hedge, Cornell University:

"A decade of ergonomic research shows that using a negatively sloped, adjustable keyboard tray maximizes the time spent working in neutral hand, wrist and upper body postures. These postural benefits can't be achieved by just using a keyboard on a height adjustable work surface."

If you would like to know more about ergonomic solutions for your employees, please email me or check out our website at officemakers.com.

Getting Organized

2006-03-18T08:59:00.000-08:00

OfficeMakers™ offers a tremendous selection of storage options (new, used and refurbished) to keep your employees and working flowing efficiently. The two most common types of file cabinets are vertical and lateral. Both come in several sizes, styles and colors. Lateral cabinets hold more files than vertical, however, vertical requires less wall space. Before buying cabinets:

Measure your space;

Determine what needs to be stored and the size of your documents (letter, legal or oversized);

Do you need locks for security?

Is your floor level? Most problems with file cabinets occur when the cabinet is not level.

The Importance of Image

2006-03-16T13:37:00.000-08:00

In a recent article by Jeff Jollay, The HON Company, it states "that a recent survey by The HON Company found that people rate their prestige in an office based upon the kind of furniture they have." Also, "the right furniture can have an impact on company productivity."

Take the guesswork out of your work environment. Call one of the experienced, knowledgeable staff at OfficeMakers™ to schedule a free design consultation today!

How Safe Are Your Records?

2006-03-13T08:42:00.000-08:00

Do you have the protection for your files and records that you need? OfficeMakers carries a full line of fire resistant files and records. When purchasing a fire file, cabinet or safe, be sure to make sure that it bears the Underwriter Laboratories the 350° - 1 Hour Fire and Impact Resistant Label. This means that the safe's interior will remain below 350° for at least one hour (well below the char point of paper) upon exposure to temperatures reaching 1700°. Please check our firesafes in our one-line catalog.

First Impressions Count

2006-03-06T08:37:00.000-08:00

What is the first impression a client/customer sees when entering your office? What does your office furniture say about you?
