Office Copier Celebrates 50th Birthday this Year, But Let's Hope Your Office Furniture is Not That Old!
POOLE, England, April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- According to CNN the most famous piece of office equipment has turned 50 this year. This is of course referring to the office copier.
The office copier is still a prime feature in many offices, whether it is for printing purposes or for a five minute gossip session amongst boisterous employees.
However, although the basic uses of the copier have remained, dimensions of the copier have changed. According to a recent article by CNN "offices have replaced traditional copiers with network connected multi-purpose printers."
Office furniture is just as important as office equipment although it is not always something people think about improving.
As an organisation, you probably replaced your office copier because it was outdated, switched to faster broadband to improve your office connectivity and download speeds, and invested in the latest flat screen monitors to save space and keep your employees happy.
However, how many organisations can say they update office furniture for the same reasons - to keep up to date with trends and improve functionality?
Today's trends show that pieces of office equipment/technology is becoming smaller in size, but bigger in functionality and capability. Less really is more… So if your employees are still sat at huge office desks surrounded by messy drawer units and unused filing cabinets that barely close, now might be the time to downsize your office furniture and make effective use of space.
Here are some suggestions to help you maximise your office space with modern office furniture choices:
* Opt for office desks with built in cabinets for storage - to hide a multitude of sins (otherwise known as paperwork) - you will know what is in there but your clients won't.
* Invest in an executive storage wall unit - this will look more professional and be significantly more organised than having bookshelves, cabinets and files scattered everywhere.
* Implement 'green' practices. Yes, introducing environmentally friendly practices such as recycling old documents and paper, and avoiding unnecessary printing will certainly help get rid of all that paperwork you might have lying around your office. It will also make you and your employees feel good.
* If your organisation has employees who work out of office/from home on a regular basis consider introducing a hot desk option, rather than giving each employee their own work space if they are not going to be using it on a regular basis.
