Office design plays an essential role both in the well-being of your employees and in the image that the company gives to its visitors. By choosing furniture and accessories that are comfortable, functional, and adapted to the size of the space, you contribute to a general improvement in productivity. You can also seize the opportunity to update furniture to begin or further develop your CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) campaign. Types of furniture, materials, and issues: read our guide on choosing the right office furniture for your company.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How does the choice of office furniture support CSR?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

No matter the size of your company, there are several issues to consider when choosing professional office furniture. Through the furnishing of your premises, you can support the company\u2019s CSR policy by improving the <\/span>working conditions<\/span><\/b> of your teams and by opting for <\/span>environmentally friendly products<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

User-friendliness in support of occupational health<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

It has been proven that <\/span>comfort is essential<\/span><\/b> for \u2018well-working\u2019 in a professional environment. <\/span>Workstations designed for the well-being of the users should at least include <\/span>ergonomic office chairs<\/span><\/a> and desks<\/a><\/span>, as well as storage furniture<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ergonomic office furniture allows you to adopt a natural posture<\/span><\/b>, without straining your back or muscles. As every body type is different, ergonomic furniture allows you to adjust the height of a tabletop, the inclination of a backrest, or the height of a seat. By preserving the health and well-being of your employees through ergonomic furniture, you ensure an optimal level of productivity within the teams.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The right layout of office furniture for a harmonious workspace<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The layout of the furniture will also have an impact on the well-being of each individual while promoting team cohesion. In an individual office, a meeting room, or open space, think about <\/span>the movement of people within the space<\/span><\/b>. Furniture should be arranged to <\/span>facilitate movement without disturbing those who are working<\/span><\/b>. Your employees should be able to move their office chairs around without obstructing the flow of people. Open spaces also have a visually calming effect, whilst cluttered offices can contribute to stress.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Office storage furniture containing frequently used supplies should be <\/span>easily accessible to all users<\/span><\/b>, so they don\u2019t have to move around much. A storage cabinet can be placed in a spacious corridor or in a dedicated corner of open space.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, think about <\/span>creating social areas<\/span><\/b> where your employees can meet and chat informally. These spaces are particularly important in the current context of widespread remote working, where opportunities to create human links are becoming increasingly rare.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Improve productivity by adapting to new uses<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Companies are facing changes related to new ways of working. Remote working has been widely adopted in recent years. At Manutan EXPERT, we make sure that we adapt our product range to <\/span>the new uses of company workspaces<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A well-designed workspace allows the user to move around easily, cleverly store things, and feel comfortable. Inspired by the concept of remote working, the office furniture (tables, chairs, bookcases, and storage cabinets) installed in offices in <\/span>colours such as white and wood creates a soothing environment<\/span><\/b>. These colours are reminiscent of interior design trends in homes. The wood tones, together with green plants, help to create a sense of tranquillity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get your employees involved in an ecological approach<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Choosing <\/span>environmentally friendly office furniture<\/span> allows your company to adopt a CSR approach. Every office desk and chair can contribute to <\/span>strengthening your organisation\u2019s commitment<\/span><\/b>, as well as <\/span>encourage your employees to become more involved in CSR<\/span><\/b>. It is, therefore, a good idea to communicate internally the advantages of the new furniture.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Manutan EXPERT range, priority has been given to environmentally friendly products: <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
