We wipe down our desks and phones and printers and copiers and breakroom tables and door handles, and phones, and sinks, and, and and. We’re as germ free as we can be. Well, there’s one spot you may not have thought of, so we’re here to lend a helping hand. We’re heading to the bathroom to find those germs, but they aren’t in the first, or even second, spot you would think of.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and you know what that means. It’s time to look at office couples! Not the inappropriate, making out in the parking lot couples. These are couples that even HR can love because they’ll help you work more efficiently. This year we’ve decided to spice things up a little. This year the path to coupledom won’t be easy. Our couples are going to have to fight for their relationships. It’s love triangle time! Don’t get to worried though. None of our suitors is the mean, lying, cheating, steal the family business out from under you type. No matter which love you choose, you win.

At Rogards, all of the chairs we sell have a warranty. If your pneumatic lift starts dropping you to the floor instead of lifting you up, we have you covered. But warranties only cover the big problems. What about the smaller issues: the squeaky back, the sticky wheel, the loose arm?

Ergonomics is about creating a space that’s comfortable and works with you and your body so you can work safely and easily. There are several parts that go into it, but we believe the basis of a good ergonomic set up comes down to one thing: your task chair. The truth is that a good, adjustable task chair can get you most of the way to a great-fitting workspace.

In news that will not shock you, disinfecting wipes have been hard to come by this year. And although the shortage isn’t as bad as it was in March and April, stock levels are still hit and miss. Manufacturers are still struggling to keep up with overwhelming demand. So, as COVID cases start to rise again and we all look for ways to help slow the spread, what are you supposed to do to keep your office safe? Let’s look at some alternatives to that hard-to-come-by canister of wipes.

We’ve been talking to you about workplace hygiene for a while now. At the beginning of this pandemic, most of us were worried about hands and surfaces, but more recently it’s clean air that’s getting the attention.

In speaking with our customers it’s clear that everyone is more concerned than before about keeping their workplace clean. Everyone wants to be as germ-free as possible, but many of the products we depend on for de-germing are hard to come by. So what do you do? Well, we would say, “Don’t panic.”

Remember March? It was going to be such a fun month. The Illini were going to make a long run in the tournament. Opening day for the Cards and Cubs was just around the corner. We were going to drink green beer in a crowded bar full of strangers. Ah, the good ol’ days. Next thing you knew, you were working from home from your dining room table.

Or maybe you even bought an inexpensive chair from a big box. Regardless of how you’ve been coping with your seating situation so far, here are some reasons why now might be a good time to consider investing in a new home office chair.
