You will spend more waking hours in your place of work than your home almost all your life. It might sound a bit depressing, but we work so we can maintain the lifestyles we want, and have the freedom to travel and buy things and treat our loved ones in our free time. And all in all we think it's probably worth it. If your office environment is a negative one though, it can feel like you're spending a lot more than 80 days a year at that desk.
You employer should make sure you're comfortable at all times. That means making sure your work station is set up correctly, and you have all the equipment that you need in order to do your job, whether that's a biro or a big expensive, multiscreen computer.
Many employers (and even their employees) don't consider how much their environment will affect their working day. Many offices have only a few windows, and daylight helps give employees a point of focus away from their desk. You should be looking away and getting up and around for 5 minutes for every hour that you're at work. Office blinds can make a massive impact into your employees focus.
Glare
When you're looking at a screen, glare is your worst enemy. It's why there's a lack of windows in so many businesses, and why there is so much need for screens. Glare can cause eye strain and long term sight problems. In the short term your employees might suffer regular headaches and a feeling of nausea. If your workers can't see the work they're meant to be doing, how are they supposed to get on with it?
The solution is simple. Adjustable office blinds can be used to let in sunlight to the room in general while minimising direct light on screens.
Temperature
Many businesses now opt to use air conditioning unities. This is because a giant 88% of all employees feel they work better when temperature is regulated. Sun shining in, or heat escaping from single glazed window panes can make your staff uncomfortable, and it can negate the good work of your technology. Simple window coverings will minimise the outside influences of the weather, perfect for midwinter and the height of summer.
