Our home office By: Eve Nyambiya, Breanna Staudt, and Manisha Rathod
For our office, we will be spending under $5000. • Our goal is to make our office ergonomically friendly.
Desk • The cost of this desk is $1959. • The width of this desk is 142cm, the height is 99 cm, and the depth is 248 cm.
The desk has a slide out keyboard. • It will help us work in the ideal typing position because the desk is 30” in height.
The position will help to decrease muscle fatigue. • It will lower the chances of Carpal Tunnel. • This desk will allow us to work in the correct posture to keep your health good.
Chair • The cost of this chair is $74.98. • We are able to adjust the height, and we are able to lock the chair in multiple positions.
This chair has a padded back, as well as bonded- leather armrests. • This will make us more comfortable! • It will help our back because of the padding.
Computer • Apple iMac 27" 3rd Gen Intel Core i5 3.2GHz Computer • The cost is $2000
This iMac comes with a wireless keyboard and a mouse so that you can adjust the positioning of your body. • We won’t have to worry about cords, as there are none for the keyboard and mouse. • It has special features and coating that helps reduce reflection by 75%, so your eyes will have less reflection and sharp graphics and visuals. • It is the newest one of all of the iMacs.
LAMP • We are going to purchase a $108 desk lamp. • The height of this lamp is 21”, meaning that it isn’t too tall. • The lamp has a thin, flat, base. It won’t take up too much space, and our desk is really big.
PHONE • The phone costs $40.00 which is good for our $5000.00 budget. • We bought it at Canadian Tire, online. • This phone has one line, therefore it will only be used for our business. • This phone comes with speakerphone and Caller-ID. The large buttons will be good for our eyesight.
In our home office, we will have a separate phone line. • The phone line will not be connected to the home phone line, but will be one dedicated to business only. • This is ergonomically friendly because it will make our business look efficient.
It is better to have a separate phone line. • This way, children or other family member will not answer the calls. • If you are running a business, you would want people to think that it’s real. • By having one phone line, customers may get the idea that you business isn’t real.
LIGHTING • For our home office, we have decided to brighten the lights. • This will not hurt our eyes, but make it better for us to see. • We will also paint the wall a light green colour because it isn’t too bright, but it will enhance the room’s lighting. • It is better to have a lighter wall colour than a darker one because this will make the room more luminous.
This is ergonomically correct. • Our office is situated where we can get little of the sun’s light. • We will need to set up overhead lights that fill most of the area to make it better for our eyes. • Since there is no direct sunlight, having desk lamps will enhance the amount of light.
TIME • We will hang a clock on the wall. • This is ergonomically friendly because when we’re at home, we tend to forget the time. • It is important to know the time, therefore you can get the 8 hours of rest between shifts. • Our lighting will also ensure that we will not strain our eyes by looking at the clock.
TOTAL PURCHASE • We were given $5,000 to spend. • Of that money, we spent $4,181.98 • We are left with $818.02.
