When it comes to workplace equipment, ergonomic chairs are often relegated to the ‘nice-to-have’ category.
But what if we told you that investing in ergonomic seating can be a strategic financial decision with a significant return on investment (ROI)?
Our range of chairs and stools combine comfort and ergonomics, allowing you to reap both financial and health benefits.
Reduced absenteeism
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as back pain and carpel tunnel syndrome are prevalent among workers who spend prolonged periods of time sat down.
Uncomfortable chairs can increase this issue, causing an increase in sick days and presenteeism (employees who attend work but are less productive due to pain).
Several studies have shown that ergonomic seating can significantly reduce these issues.
A healthier workforce translates into fewer missed workdays and a more focussed, productive team.
Enhanced productivity and efficiency
Discomfort breeds distraction.
When employees are fighting or battling aches, their focus suffers.
Ergonomic chairs promote proper posture and support, leading to increased concentration – something that is pivotal in laboratory environments.
Research suggests that ergonomic chairs can boost productivity by up to 40% and reduce error rates by 56%.
Ergonomic seating can also lower healthcare costs for a company. It’s always beneficial to ensure a safe and durable workspace as workers are far less likely to encounter MSDs, which contribute significantly towards workplace healthcare expenses.
Calculating your ROI
It can be very tricky to calculate an exact return on investment when purchasing ergonomic chairs.
It has been estimated that the annual cost of musculoskeletal issues – measured by compensation costs, lost wages and lost productivity – is between $45-54 billion dollars in the US.
Your ROI will also depend on various factors – including company size and industry – but the potential benefits are undeniable.
An investment as strong as our chairs
Techsit chairs are rugged and durable, making them likely to last far longer than standard workplace seating, even in the most testing of environments.
Coupled with reduced absenteeism and higher workforce productivity, the benefits of choosing our ergonomic seating are vast.
