The Essentials to Adapt Your Office to Your Home

The hybrid work model is gaining traction in Canada and appears to be here to stay. Dividing your work weeks between the office and home brings many benefits such as contributing to employee development and increase their productivity. However, it requires adaptation both in terms of time management and reorganization of one's space in order to provide an environment that is both pleasant and efficient.

Here are a few reasons why we are experiencing the emergence of the hybrid work model and some recommendations that will allow you to easily set up a home office while propelling your productivity level to new heights!

 

Hybrid Work and the Pandemic

The pandemic has brought on a new reality to many workers. While some found it more difficult to adapt without human contact with their colleagues, others embraced their new work environment. Productivity has greatly improved for many as they have become more comfortable in their new workspace. It is, therefore, no surprise that many want to continue working in such an environment and to invest in a home office.

Many employers try to appeal to new talent by offering them on-site services such as access to a gym, yoga classes, or healthy meals in the cafeteria, but is that really enough? The vast majority of the day is spent working seated behind a desk, and this is often wherein lies the greatest frustrations: drab atmosphere and office furniture are poorly suited to one's needs.

Why are we seeing an increase in employees moving away from working at the office? The answer is not simple and may vary depending on the industry, the generation, or the geographic and economic situation of the worker. However, one thing is certain: well-being and quality of life are at the heart of workers' concerns whether they are at home or in the office.

According to a survey conducted by the consulting firm Accenture in March 2021, only 26% of Canadians feel their business is meeting their physical wellness needs.

 

The Ergonomic Chair, a Must-Have

An adjustable, well-padded chair seems like the best option when spending many hours at a desk and overall well-being is of high value. Is this really the best option when it comes to avoiding lower back pain, lack of concentration, and fatigue caused by prolonged immobility?

The ergonomic office chair is increasingly popular among workers who have had to rethink their workspace in recent years. Here lies the unanimous choice: The HÅG Capisco chair, which offers everything you expect from an ergonomic chair and much more. Its greatest benefit is that it allows considerable freedom of movement by offering various sitting positions.

Movement is at the heart of the brand's philosophy which is immediately felt when you sit on an HÅG Capisco chair. Perfect for working while standing or with a high table, this ergonomic stool enables you to change positions throughout the day, keeping your body awake and alert. Constant movement positively impacts blood circulation, which improves posture and helps reduce lower back and neck pain.

 

The Centrepiece: The Ergonomic Desk

To allow your ergonomic chair to be used to its full potential, an adapted desk is ideal to make your workspace comfortable and efficient. An adjustable sit-stand desk is definitely an addition that shouldn't be overlooked when rethinking your home office. Similar to the ergonomic chair, it allows you to vary your working position throughout the day and stimulate your energy level as well as your physical mobility. The sit-stand desk minimizes idle sitting time while increasing performance, focus, and motivation.

Adding an ergonomic chair to your home desk not only improves productivity but also reduces pain and health problems associated with office equipment that is not properly adapted to your situation.

Trust in our essentials to help you adapt your home office to your new reality. You are now ready to start a new career chapter: with the HÅG Capisco chair, hybrid work awaits!
