First impressions matter to a business. This is why your office must be a
reflection of your business and the company culture you want to cultivate.
So what does it tell employees and clients if your office has outdated
furnishings and equipment?
Time to update your office furniture.
Doing so will say plenty about your business…

Ergonomics is valuable
Redesigning the office layout and providing furniture based on ergonomics is a strong motivator for employees. It also increases their overall satisfaction with their work environment.
Therefore, you should have old and uncomfortable furniture replaced with
new and ergonomic ones.

You care about your employees’ health
Lower back pain and stress are two of the most common health concerns of employees who work at their desk for 8 hours or so. Provide them with
ergonomic interventions and your staff will be more than happy to tell the
world how you value office wellness.

Help improve employee productivity and posture by providing:
 Lumbar supportive chairs
 Sit/stand desks and chairs
 Specialized typing keyboard
 Ergonomically correct electronic devices, such as a tablet with a 45-
degree stand and external keyboard.
Your company is not left behind.

Still using an old printer or photocopying machine? This conveys several messages:
 Your company lacks the finances to upgrade to new technologies
 You don’t care to enhance the use and functionality of office
equipment
 You’re fine with obsolescence and sticking with the familiar but old

And the most resonant of messages? There is no room or a chance for
growth in your business.
Replace old equipment with new and advanced ones and you can show them that technology matters to you and you can still compete with other
companies.

Company growth is evident
New furniture will help define your success in a competitive market.
Think of it this way; you started out as a small-scale business with only a
few cubicles in a small office. If you add a conference room and a couple of
private offices in a much bigger space, then your company is clearly thriving.
You can easily shut down any talks or speculations about your business
losing or going down by replacing old furniture and equipment with new
ones.

Financially clever
Between constantly having an office chair fixed and buying a new one, which do you think will save you more money? A new office chair will get rid of repair problems once and for all and will make employees happy, what with them no longer suffering with a squeaky, broken chair.
Moreover, new office furniture comes with a warranty that you can take
advantage of. In the event that there is a need to repair broken parts and
pieces, you can just call the manufacturer to fix the problem at no cost.
If you run a small business, the cost of office supplies and furniture may be
tax deductible. The costs of buying them can be depreciated or deducted in
the first year up to a certain amount. This means replacing old furnishings make good financial sense.
