This week we welcome back Jenna Cooper, who is taking on the role of our Commercial Director for both Re:Work and our Sister Company Workspace.

We are all becoming more aware of the negative effect that sitting for long periods of time can have on our health and with long hours spent at our desks during the working day many people are worried about how to change this part of our lifestyle.

There are plenty of initiatives you can introduce into your workplace to help combat these effects, such as encouraging staff to take the stairs, organising group fitness activities or walks, and setting up cycle-to-work schemes.

At Re:Work we are ideally placed to help your business adapt your office for social distancing and enable you to eliminate any worry of COVID-19 in the office.

Working from home is the new normal, and reliable home office furniture is key to ensuring you can do your best work, productively and comfortably is key to being successful.

Following the most recent popularity tends, its appears to be that sit, stand desks are becoming the new fashionable favourite.

So… what is a sit, stand desk? A sit, stand desk is a height adjustable desk which allows you to either sit or stand comfortably whilst working. Even though the research is still in progress, it does give the impression that using a sit, stand desk has an impact on heath and can increase productivity. – GREAT!

The future of office design was heading from cubicles to open-plan layouts as well the ability to reconfigure the space. Both open plan environments and reconfigurable furniture are in trend to encourage collaboration between co-workers. Research shows actual evidence that the physical environment influences interactions between people. It can interfere with or encourage the frequency and quality of social interactions. Taking all these elements into account it seems like common sense to move into the design direction we were headed before 2020 entered the game…

Sustainability is something everyone has been talking about recently, and here at Re:Work we’ve always taken it seriously, as it forms one of our objectives as a Social Enterprise.

For the last 13 years, we have been diverting office furniture from going into a skip or landfill by re-using as much as we can and re-selling it to a wide range of businesses and organisations around the North of England.
