The cubicle celebrated it’s 40th birthday this year! The cubicle was invented by Robert Propst a Herman Miller executive in 1968 and was originally called an Action Office!
It was the first open office system in the world and it has transformed the entire work place for most business’. Hallmark Cards was one of the first to integrate cubicles into their business in Kansas City, but others quickly followed.
The original design offered employees desks that were at two levels, one that they could sit to use and one to stand to use! This idea was probably one of the first introductions of ergonomics!
What started out as a great idea has become a dread for many office workers. The idea of providing two desks for each employee wasn’t cost efficient for most business owners. And, with the increase in the demands for more space, often the cubicle feels more like a box!
So, while you’re sitting there in your little cubicle, just remember, people have been where you are for 40 years! Happy Birthday Cubicle!

Anything in the business or classroom that can serve multi-functions is definitely an asset, especially when it’s something as large as an entire room! And, Junction Tables allow you to do just that!
With Junction Tables you can have an entire room full of desks for employees or students. But, you can also quickly empty that same room to use it for whatever you require.
The desktops simply flip down from the horizontal position to a vertical one and the desks slide together. In no time at all you can have a whole room full of desks conveniently lined up against one wall or move them out of the room entirely.
The easily rolling wheels require little effort to move the desks where ever you want them. And, when you need them again you can quickly flip the tops back down and roll them back into place.
Versatility and function is key to today’s past paced world and Junction Tables provide both!

Your job may be slowly damaging your health beyond repair. Just using the computer for one hour each day is increasing your risk of musculoskeletal problems and using it for four or more hours a day is increasing that risk by nine times!
The major cause for more work related injuries than anything else is repetitive motion injuries. These types of injuries are responsible for at least half of all the work days lost. Those lost work days eat right into your production rates.
The sad truth is that with the investment in ergonomic furnishings for your employees, those hours can be sufficiently decreased. Providing your employees with a comfortable environment is more than just the right thing to do for them, it’s the right thing to do for your business!

The main thing that you need to consider when choosing your desk placement, is that your monitor screen shouldn’t be facing any windows. Light coming through the windows will create glare and glare leads to eyestrain and fatigue.
Another factor to consider when deciding where you want to place your office desk, is what kind of view you want while your sitting there working. Do you want to see out a nearby window, or would a window be a distraction and decrease your work production?

Under Computer Stations
Wall mount computer stations are almost a necessity in the medical business. Not only do they save on space, they keep your computer close at hand at all times.
Often examining rooms and testing areas just don’t have the extra space for a desk. A wall mount system, uses very little space and folds up out of the way when not in use.
Wall mounts are very versatile, the monitor and keyboard can both be adjusted to make them comfortable for all of your employees.
And, not having to strain or stretch to work with equipment can give your staff and edge in performing better.

By now we all know how important ergonomics is to you and your employees. But, you may not realize that it’s important for the best possible patient care.
When you use ergonomically correct furnishings in your hospital or clinic, you’re helping to prevent the stress and strain that inadvertently cause mistakes in patient care.
A doctor or nurse that is experiencing aches and pains can’t devote their full attention to their patients. In providing your staff ergonomic furniture and accessories, you’re giving your patients better care!
