As an employer, there is an incredible amount of responsibility put onto your shoulders with regard to your staff’s health and safety. The Australian government has many things in place to make sure that all employers follow the rules and regulations as set out for them. Any employer with many years of experience will tell you that happy staff are much more productive and so it pays to spend your money on creating a safe and comfortable place for staff to work in.

This involves spending money on quality pieces of furniture like desks that are at the right height and chairs that provide essential back support. If you have a busy office with people working at their desks for up to 8 hours a day then it makes perfect sense that you would provide your staff members with furniture that can protect their health. This is just one way to create a place of work that is comfortable and safe for all and the following are some others.

Provide staff with what they need – The general consensus is that most people like to sit at their desks when doing their work but some like to stand, so you might want to consider investing in some standing desks for those who want them. The chair is important because they sit at all day long and so investing in ergonomic types protects their backs which means that they are not taking any days off work sick.
Bring the outside inside – It’s a well-known fact that immersing ourselves in nature helps to reduce stress and anxiety levels and makes us feel better overall. This is why it is an excellent idea to bring some nature from the outside into the inside of your business premises. This is such a simple thing to do and you can incorporate potted plants into the workspace. These will not only make everyone feel better but they will also help to clean the air around them as well.
Get the windows cleaned – Forany large office building such as yours, it does cost a fair bit of money to get professional window cleaning companies in to keep the glass clean all around your property. It may be the case that you are trying to cut corners to save yourself money but in the end, this will end up costing you more than it is worth. It is true that natural light is very good for us and artificial light is not. By getting the windows cleaned on a regular basis, you’re allowing natural light to penetrate into the building and this will not only keep your staff member’s happy but will help to reduce your electricity bill as well.

If you follow these pieces of advice then there’s no reason to believe that your staff will not be a lot more productive and happier in their workplace. Your staff members are your biggest asset, so start taking better care of them today.
