Help in Selecting Chairs for the Office

Chair ergonomics should be the priority when selecting chairs for the office. Simple fact is that the employees will spend most of their day seated in the chairs. If there are problems with the height and support, many of the employees will develop posture problems and related health issues.

It may not present a problem in the short term, but even only two or three years of uncomfortable and unhealthy seating patterns, may lead to severe health problems. This in turn will cost the company a lot in productivity and time & attendance of employees. Rather select the most appropriate ergonomically designed chairs for the office right from the start.

A few pointers are briefly shared below to help you select the best chairs for the office to reduce the risk of posture related health problems:

• Adjustability of the chair should be one of the main priorities since many employees may share the same office and thus chairs. Not everyone is the same length and as such the chairs must be adjustable to the particular features of each employee.
• Ease of adjustability should be the next concern. Since time is of the essence, you will want chairs that can adjust in an instant.
• Look for chairs with back tilting and height adjustment features.
• The chairs must have easy to reach tilt and height adjustment levers.
• Several height settings must be available to ensure that the employees can sit comfortable with the feet flat on the ground.
• Check for sufficient back support.
• There should be enough space for the hips to fit in freely.
• The chairs must be able to move around by means of wheels.
• Look for swivel action chairs to reduce stretch strain.
