Office workplaces
Office design is under pressure with high rents and changing work patterns, encouraging our clients to explore new styles of office layout eg hot desking. We help them design new and innovative ways of organising office work whilst ensuring that they meet current health, safety and ergonomics legislation and standards. Whether the brief is to investigate problems and complaints in an existing office, to devise new ways of working or to advise on the procurement of new office furniture and equipment, our consultants can add real value to your business.
Our office ergonomics approach improves productivity and quality, reduces sickness, cuts compensation claims and saves costly mistakes in equipment purchase. We use our knowledge of human capabilities to optimise the design and selection of office equipment and the working office environment.
