Wellington, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/08/2021 -- Outdated and unsafe office furniture is responsible for a substantial number of the 600,000+ workplace injuries that occur every year in the UK. The solution to this is investing in ergonomic furniture that can help to protect both the physical and mental health of workers. Every piece of ergonomic furniture is designed to ensure optimum efficiency and comfort in the workplace. This can help to reduce the stress and pressure that is placed on the physical body by the hours that are spent sitting every day - and also ensure that wellbeing remains a priority and morale is high.

Ergonomic furniture promotes wellbeing
There are many different options today when it comes to ergonomic furniture - and a wealth of evidence that its use can help to support better mental health among employees. The highest quality office solutions generally integrate ergonomic furniture and have been found to empower employees so that they are able to achieve a better quality of work and higher levels of productivity - as well as positive mental health. For example, all the NHS employees who took part in one year-long study reported feeling more engaged with their jobs and less tired as a result of using height-adjustable workstations. Sit-stand desks have become the go-to in many countries now thanks to the positive impact that they have been found on physical and mental health. This includes reducing the risk of aches, injuries, and cardiovascular disease by up to 40%.

Improving overall mental health
Ergonomic solutions promote physical wellbeing and a sense of empowerment and care that ensures workers feel valued. They also provide more options for improving the quality of experience - for example, ergonomic keyboards can increase typing speeds by reducing repetitive stretching and reaching, allowing people to get more satisfaction from work and avoiding the anxiety that injuries can cause. Pivotal monitors mean that employees can focus on screens for a substantial length of time without suffering issues such as eye strain, which can make a working environment feel like a tough and uncomfortable place to be. Physical comfort and the nurturing environment that this creates are key components in ensuring that staff feels positive about their workspace.

Office Reality was established in 2003 for the purpose of supplying businesses, organisations and individuals with competitively and realistically priced office furniture and interior solutions. Choosing interior solutions that support positive physical and mental health provide opportunities for organisations to thrive and ensure employees are happy and engaged. The team at Office Reality brings together a wealth of product knowledge as well as an in-house CAD design department and 3D visualisation capability which provide customers and project managers with reassurance when planning projects.

Wellington, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/08/2021 -- We are moving into an era where optimum workspaces are less dense and more flexible, with traditional open-plan being left behind. Today, the multifunctional, versatile workplace must be able to offer a broad range of options, whether that relates to office-based tasks or the proportion of the workforce that may be periodically working from home. Integrating these considerations at the fit-out stage is a vital part of the process for evolution. There are a number of key areas where this is most likely to arise.

Creating safe and adaptable spaces
Particularly where the structure of a business has shifted post-pandemic there may now be a very different employee infrastructure. More remote workers can mean there is a need for fewer desks and the opportunity to use additional space productively in safe and adaptable ways. That may mean creating breakaway areas where staff can interact differently with one another or integrating innovative office furniture - such as sit-stand desks - that is designed to improve both performance and experience.

Social distancing needs
From modular furniture to protective screens and the use of individual cube spaces, there are many options when it comes to ensuring that any need for social distances can be accommodated via an office fit-out, now or in the future.

A focus on employee wellbeing
Planning a fit-out can be a great opportunity to communicate a values shift, such as a greater focus on employee wellbeing. The spaces humans occupy have a physiological and psychological impact on everyone's day-to-day lives - using plants or bibliophilic experiences as part of office design, for example, has been found to reduce stress, enhance creativity and improve cognitive function.

More fun and flexibility
Fitout trends today include the idea that the office is a place to escape the pressures of home with design and aesthetics focused on improving creativity and creating spaces that are divided into fun, break, and work zones.

Office Reality was established in 2003 and supports a broad range of businesses, individuals, and organisations when it comes to furniture and interior solutions for an office fit-out. Over the years the team has grown from being a renowned office furniture supplier to a comprehensive team of experts able to offer expert guidance, product knowledge, and key specialist support, such as an in-house CAD design department and 3D visualisation capability. From conception to completion, the team at Office Reality is focused on key standards of professionalism and compliance, delivering options that meet the needs of customers of all types.

Wellington, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/08/2021 -- Office furniture is a vital part of any workspace. Not only does it influence the way that employees experience their day-to-day lives but it can also contribute to brand reputation too. Getting office set-up right starts at the planning stages and includes consideration of how office furniture will impact the space and what the best options are likely to be for the individual needs of the business itself.

Accommodating available space

The physical qualities of any workspace are going to be a vital part of the process of planning an office when it comes to furniture. Compact areas - or those that have unusual dimensions - might need more consideration and careful planning. Innovative solutions to space-saving needs provide a wealth of options for office furniture that is supportive, ergonomic, and aesthetically on brand. Where there is a lot of space available, chosen furniture can have a big influence on how it is used. Optimising the potential for collaboration etc could be something as simple as choosing a large conference table or comfortable chairs.

Health, safety, and cultural fit
Workplace injuries and accidents often originate from poor-quality office interiors, which is something that can be eliminated at the planning stage of office design. Ergonomic furniture choices, for example, are designed to improve health and safety by reducing the potential for back pain, muscle fatigue, and joint stress. Furniture also has a big role to play when it comes to the business' culture - it should be aligned with the communication of vision and values, as well as accommodating the unique personalities within an office environment.

Prioritising productivity
Comfort is a vital factor in productivity, which underpins growth. Furniture choices at the office planning stage can have a big influence over future productivity levels and so need to be carefully made. Creating well organised, clutter-free spaces with filing cabinets and clever storage, so that workers have access to essential tools, documents and files will be vital. Comfortable furniture and spacious desks that easily accommodate key equipment, such as printers, are also essential.

First established in 2003, Office Reality has grown into a thriving office furniture and interior solutions business providing expert support when it comes to planning an office with furniture in mind. The team includes sales, marketing, admin, and customer service as well as in-house CAD design department and 3D visualisation capability. High professional standards that accommodate individual needs, as well as key goals relating to compliance, are all part of what Office Reality is able to provide to clients. Today the firm is a leading supplier of competitively and realistically priced office furniture and interior solutions to businesses, organisations, and individuals across the spectrum.

Somerset, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/11/2021 -- The design and fit-out of every workplace have become incredibly important post-COVID. Creating a space that employees want to return to, which helps boost productivity and fosters a sense of community, is key. There are lots of different ways to approach an office fit-out or refurbishment to help improve employee experience, increase collaboration and make your office environment a more engaging space. The Super Deduction Tax Scheme - which was announced in 2021 - could make this even easier to achieve, especially for those who are working to a budget.

Making the Super Deduction Tax Scheme work for your office fit-out

Thanks to the new scheme introduced by the government, any investment that your business makes against qualifying plant and machinery before March 2023 will benefit from a 130% tax allowance.

Weak business investment is something that the UK struggled with even before the pandemic - a wealth of studies has shown that this can have a very negative impact operationally, on productivity, for example. These low levels of investment are often highlighted as one of the reasons the UK has such a productivity gap. During the lockdowns that defined 2020 and early 2021, business investment fell even further as many organisations struggled financially. The introduction of the Super Deduction Tax Scheme is designed to help improve investment levels and repair some of the damage done by the pandemic. It is one of a number of capital allowances brought in this year to help the business community. The capital allowances work like this:

- The Super Deduction allowance. 130% qualifying relief on first-year investment in plant and machinery for companies (up to 31 March 2023).

- The First-Year allowance. A 50% capital allowance for special rate (including long life) assets (up to 31 March 2023).

- Annual Investment Allowance. A 100% capital allowance that offers relief for plant and machinery investments up to a threshold of £1 million (up to 31 December 2021).

A COVID-focused fit-out
If you're looking for an opportunity to upgrade the COVID precautions in place in your office the Super Deduction Tax Scheme could provide benefits here too. Improved storage solutions can make it easier to reorganise an office space in line with pandemic-proof strategy and regulations while new furniture is often easier to repeatedly clean and disinfect. Screens, in particular, offer options for making an office environment a more COVID-safe place to be and provide reassurance to workers that their needs are being taken care of.

For those businesses on a budget, or management teams looking for the motivation to invest in an office fit-out to help boost morale and productivity, the Super Deduction tax scheme, and associated allowances, could deliver a tangible benefit.

Office Reality is a family run business, established in 2003, delivering interior solutions and essential, reasonably priced office furniture for organisations of all sizes. Office fit-outs - including those that can be enhanced with the Super Deduction tax scheme - are where the business really comes into its own, providing all the tools necessary to create the space that is going to work best for any business. The team at Office Reality has a wealth of fit-outs experience and an in-depth understanding of the process that is involved in making decisions about how to fit out a space. It also benefits from an in-house CAD design department and 3D visualisation capacity that enables customers and project managers to gain more insight and accuracy when putting projects together.

Over the years Office Reality has grown into a renowned furniture and interior solutions supplier for individuals, organisations and businesses. Vital to this has been the recognition of the true value of competitive, transparent pricing and a comprehensive online presence that makes it easy to quickly move projects forward. Office Reality now works with a range of clients on both a national and local basis, fulfilling a broad spectrum of different needs, from the most basic entry-level designs to bespoke furniture requirements individually tailored to precise specifications.
