    Organised Office Makes for a Productive Working Environment

    By on Last modified: September 22, 2017

    Though we don’t often see it, at least not all of us, not being organised at the work place can have a great role in our productivity. Rarely do we see the ways clutter is ruining our lives, and this is why it’s so important to keep it all in perfect order in the office.

    If you want to achieve that, it takes more than an occasional clearout of your desk, especially if you clean it only to hide the mess in a desk drawer. Stacking up on material handling equipment is the way to go, for instance in the form of shelves (lots and lots of shelves). However, if your space doesn’t allow for more shelves than you require to keep the office organised, you can get the help of mobile compacting shelving, so you can move it around and have the equipment and supplies you most use within close proximity. Such a shelving system can be individually tailored to suit your needs, and designed with a great deal of storage accessories.

    Material Handling Equipment

    Other sorts of material handling equipment you can count on are heavy duty lockers, including peg board trolley for storage of documentation and office tools. Of course the kind of desk you have also has a say in the matter, so it’s always better to go for one that’s more spacious and has more drawers. Again, if amount of space is in question, you can get a corner workstation. Bonus points if it’s ergonomic and adjustable, so you can use some time to work as you stand, and move, to reduce the impact of a sedentary lifestyle.

    It’s not just organisation that has to do with productivity, it’s ergonomics as well, so you can count on optimal results if you pair that desk with an ergonomic chair designed for comfort, and proper support for your neck and back, so you wouldn’t feel like your job is taking its toll on your health at the end of a productive day – no aches and pains! More ergonomics also comes in the form of adjustable monitor arms and stands as they enable you to have a way of better control over the monitors, while also freeing up essential desk space.

    Apart from equipping your office with such indispensible pieces, and getting in the habit of regular uncluttering, it’s crucial to also get in the habit of doing some email uncluttering as well, and learning how to be selective with your mail, immediately sorting out junk from important messages. Do this, and you can expect positive productivity results.
